Visitors' Book

Since we started taking paying guests in 2003 we have enjoyed providing a personal four star service. (We are sorry that it cannot be five star but we do not have en suite bedrooms!) We believe that all our guests have enjoyed their stay in Gratton. Certainly many have returned, some for multiple stays. One couple says that The Manager’s House is “our holiday home”! Many guests have recommended us to their families or friends.

We are perhaps slightly uncomfortable about blowing our own trumpet and we tend to avoid the hyperbole associated with some advertising. However, we are very proud of the many kind comments that have been written in the Visitors’ Book of The Manager’s House. Our satisfied guests are our best advertisement. Some random comments have been extracted and are shown below;

“Lovely to be greeted with fresh baked cake and tea.”

“Your welcome and attention gave us the status of honoured guests”

“Beautiful views, walks, fantastic night sky we saw Mars, unbelievable.”

“We wished we could have stayed longer.”

“Just perfect in every detail.”

“Peace and tranquility, such a change from the daily grind.”

“Not so much a going on holiday, more a coming home.” (Repeat visit)

“You are lucky to have this house. I am coming again” (Becky, age 10.)

“We will never forget this place.”

“… snug and warm and so homely.”

“Just can’t thank you enough for everything.”

“Arrived a wreck, going home a person.”

There are many more comments in a similar vein. We must be doing something right!
