Longueville Manor

A charming and very special hotel. The service is exceptionally good. All the staff are attentive but Luca the head of F and B is extra ordinary. He manages by seeing everything and wanders around spreading his magic positiveness. Somehow Luca makes everyone feel extra special. We witnessed an 18th birthday dinner that actually made us emotional as it was handled so brilliantly. His talent needs to be " bottled". Although still young he is hugely experienced. Brian and Benson welcome you on arrival like old friends. Tara charms all and knows what the weather will do so she sets up out door dining appropriately each time. The team that services the rooms are also exceptional and nothing is too much trouble and more importantly they do not rearrange what the guest has arranged! The chef took in his stride our vegan and non dairy requirements and we had the best meals ever. This place has to be experienced we will be back for sure!

Our family recently stayed in both the cottage and rooms here, and it was incredible. The service was exceptionally attentive - staff were always on hand to ensure we had everything we needed. Breakfast and lunch were also amazing. The hotel and its grounds are lovely and peaceful, making it the perfect place to unwind. Highly recommended for families or anyone seeking a relaxing break.

NOTE THIS IS A REVIEW OF THE LUNCH ONLY. THIS REVIEW DOES NOT CONCERN THE LODGINGS AT THE ESTABLISHMENT, NOR THE AMENITIES I was kindly invited to attend lunch for the celebration of a cousins wedding. We were sat poolside in the lush green surroundings of Loungeville manor. Battling the wasps and other creepy crawler that come with the outdoor dining experience, the waiters kept us well hydrated with frequent check ups. We had pre ordered our meals so when the food came out I had high hopes that everything would come out at one time. I was wrong as it appeared my order had been forgotten about. Perhaps the chef was perfecting the dish as my name has made it around the culinary circles as a food critic. When my food arrived 15 minutes later, the others had already finished their meals. This was a disappointment, particularly as I was hoping to trade a few chips for some scallops. Anyway onto the food itself: I was informed that this was “the best burger ever” by a man who has had many a burger in his time. Unfortunately I can’t give this quite such high praise. Let’s break it down. Burger patty: Very meaty, great char on the exterior. Bun: Soft and playful. Covered with sesame seeds for added texture. Cheese: A weak point. Not nearly enough. Either remove it or add more. One must commit to either a cheeseburger or a plain burger. Tomatoes: I don’t often go for these, but for a holistic review I had the burger as it came. These tomatoes were servicing, and cut through the meat flavour with some needed acidity. Burger Sauce. Inoffensive, but not memorable. Overall a 4/5 burger. The chips were crispy and fluffy. Fresh from the fryer and well seasoned. The ketchup had its expected taste, but I would have also liked the offer of mayonnaise. Overall a pleasant dining experience. If I’m to come again, I hope the food will all be served together on time.
