Orestone Manor is an Edwardian Country Retreat in the peaceful village of Maidencombe, about 4 miles from Torquay, with stunning views across Lyme Bay. Maidencombe Beach is a 15 minute walk down the hill from the hotel. Individually decorated rooms, most with sea views.

This hotel is truly a hidden treasure. From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly warm, friendly, and welcoming. You could instantly sense that it was a family-run establishment rather than a corporate chain. I initially thought it was part of a chain due to the OYO logo, but I learned that it's just a booking platform that requires them to use that branding. Don't let that mislead you; this place has so much character! The same staff members were there throughout our stay, allowing us to connect with them a bit, and they genuinely took care of us. It seemed their main goal was to think, "How can we make this experience even better for our guests?" The cream tea and cake were absolutely delightful, and the idea of bottomless tea was just fantastic! They offered a later checkout than most hotels, were flexible with breakfast requests, and even came to fetch us for dinner from the lounge, carrying our drinks for us. Every detail was so thoughtful. We are already looking forward to our next visit!

Absolutely breathtaking manor house in a stunning setting. The attention to detail in the rooms was remarkable. There were so many delightful little touches that truly enhanced the experience. The bed was incredibly comfortable. The communal spaces were beautifully decorated and inviting. We enjoyed breakfast at the property, which was outstanding. There was a great selection, and everything was served hot and beautifully arranged. Dinner in the evenings was exceptional. Each night featured a diverse menu, and the food was simply exquisite. Not only was it cooked to perfection, but the presentation was also top-notch. The staff went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. You will be thoroughly impressed with your stay at this hotel, and if you have a passion for food, this is an absolute must-visit on your journey.
