Could not have asked for a warmer welcome or better stay with Valerie and Ken. Valerie went above and beyond to accommodate myself and my colleague who has special dietary requirements, providing a fabulous breakfast. Having worked outside late at night and in the rain, Drum Manor was the perfect place to come back to...To warm up and get a cosy night's sleep. 10/10
I am giving Drum Manor a 5 star because it was such a lovely and pleasant stay and I enjoyed every minute of it. When I arrived Valerie showed me to my room and bathroom, which were lovely. There where no tea and coffee facilities in the room but Valerie made me a cup of tea whenever I wanted one. This was better than making them in the room and it gave me chance to speak to Valerie and the same for her. I arrived at around 6.30pm and I hadn't had anything to eat in a while so she offered me a sandwich which was lovely and showed she cared for her guests. The had offered to give me a lift in to the local town as I only use public transport and that was also very nice of her. Overall my star was definitely 5 star and was very nice. This was well worth visit ad I would cone back again soon.
Drum Manor is set in picturesque countryside and is the perfect place to relax coupled with beautiful places to explore. Valerie, Kenny and teddy the dog are fabulous hosts and go the extra mile to ensure that your stay is comfortable, we will definitely visit again soon!
Such a wonderful place to stay. The views are amazing, the host was so lovely. The decor is top notch, the place is spotless. I would highly recommend Drum Manor. Well worth it!
Spent a night in the family suite and it was absolutely beautiful. Valarie and Kenny were the warmest of hosts and tended to our meal requirements so well. Teddy their dog was the star of the show. The home is located in a beautiful location away from the hustle bustle of the city and makes a wonderful place for a getaway
We had a lovely stay in this immaculate B & B. The rooms were lovely and the hospitality second to none. Valerie was a wonderful hostess, making us tea on arrival and a great breakfast the next day. We had some good chats and the rural location was great.
If you ever want to be treated like Royalty you need to look no further. The hosts of Drum Manor did not disappoint with our stay. The daily breakfasts were by far delightful and plentiful and the hosts themselves were so hospitable. The mountain and hillside views are spectacular, calming, and serene. The hosts went over and beyond to ensure our stay was nothing less than perfect. You will not regret your stay at this Manor.
Outstanding hospitality! Delightful hosts! Excellent and generous breakfast. Room so comfortable with lovely view out over the countryside. Peaceful location close to Hillsbrough a super little village for evening meals.
