Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Shendish Manor is appreciated for its beautiful surroundings, including green and luscious gardens and a well-kept golf course, easily accessible for a walk. Many guests found the rooms to be a good size and comfortable, with air conditioning and essential facilities like ironing boards and hair dryers. Breakfast is often highlighted, featuring a buffet with healthy choices and even vegan sausage available upon request; however, some guests felt that darker decor made the place feel a little dull. Apsley train station is about 30 minutes walk uphill.
