Had a party at the venue yesterday. The staff were amazing in what had to be a long day for them too. Food was great and the bedrooms were brilliant. Super comfortable. Highly recommended for an amazing stay. Thank you!

Grafton Manor is as you would expect is an old building, however the rooms are well prepared and exceptionally clean. Be aware whilst ensuite not all have full shower capability. The highlight has to be the food. Very well prepared and well worth a visit for a meal on its own. Staff are very helpful and attentive. The only downside if you can call it one is the proximity to the M5 and the subsequent noise. It is something that you get used to but can be distracting at first.

This is the 2nd time I have stayed here. It's such a beautiful setting and an amazing old manor house. The room's are lovely and clean and all have there own character. The bed was comfortable and actually had 2 pillows. The bathroom in my room this time is showing its age with avocado suit but that said it does what it needs and was clean and not tiny like some. Breakfast was good and a great selection of items.

I was there for a wedding evening party. On the Sunday morning my car decided to break down in the car park and as they were due to close except house keeping cleaning the gentleman who was in charge let me and my son stay in the breakfast room and said I could stay till house keeping were Finnish. I have to say all the staff were friendly, helpful and happy. A huge thank you to you all.

The grounds and Manor itself are great. The noise from the motorway is quite loud. Our top floor room had broken window fasteners and let in the motorway noise all night. It really needed secondary glazing. Breakfast was fine and staff were very friendly and helpful.
