Great Tangley Manor Wonersh, Guildford GU5 0PT

"We booked and paid the non-refundable price and told the property manager that we would be celebrating my mother’s 70th birthday. We also paid a large amount extra for late checkout which, at other nearby venues, has been free. We later informed them of the exact number of people attending (adults and a 3-4 babies) for about 3-4 hours on Sat afternoon. At this point the property manager revealed they’d be charging another large extra amount per person (babies would also be charged) for their visit because he is ‘running a business’. We explained that we would be using our own cutlery, that it was a dry event and that babies do not cause wear and tear to a property. It feels like we were being charged a premium for a professional, luxury experience, however, the fridge and some of the kitchen cupboards were dirty. It said it had salt and pepper - these were broken and empty. The owner didn’t want us to ruin her clean driveway as it had been raining. Therefore, we had to use the back driveway, which meant our guests ALL got lost as there is no signage or view of the house from the back. This meant one of us had to wait by the back gate and missed half of my mum’s birthday. The bedrooms were very cold and there were not enough indoor heaters. Overall, we definitely felt we had been overcharged and the property under-delivered. There are much better value properties nearby."

"Spent a weekend at Great Tangley Manor with a group of girlfriends for a hen do! The place was amazing, we enjoyed the property & gardens just what we all needed. Thank you for making this stay a memorable one."

"We recently spent a wonderful weekend at this stunning Manor House steeped in history. Having read the historical background, it was amazing to spend a few days here knowing that years ago some famous figures had stayed here. Everything about it was just perfect - from the impressive dining room with the etchings on the window panes, the sumptuous bedrooms, the bright and airy kitchen and breakfast room overlooking the courtyard with it's fish pond, the beautiful gardens and last but not least the heated swimming pool. A big thank you to Glyn, Ann and Nicho."

"Amazing historic home for a family gathering. Beautiful and well equipped property within secluded grounds. Enjoyed by all ages. The swimming pool is a real bonus and a great size. Well maintained gardens. Booking service was excellent and owner provided a helpful and warm welcome. Would highly recommend."

"We had an incredible time here. Such a stunning, historic and beautiful house. The gardens are absolutely gorgeous, secluded and well kept, and we could go for peaceful walks whilst being undisturbed. We loved our stay here. Nicho our contact was outstanding, very organised and helpful. A perfect upmarket and private place to stay in the country whilst remaining close to London."
