Lovely house, beautiful grounds, amazing stay

We spent 4 nights, 11 people including children. The house is amazing, had everything we needed. The pool was great fun and a highlight of our stay. Close to town for pubs and shops, as well as nature walks. A wonderful place to spend time with loved ones in a special location away from the hustle and bustle.

Myself and my families my enjoyed two nights at the Manor. Had a wonderful stay. The children lived the pool. The private chef( one of the recommended) was amazing. House was big enough to accommodate 11 of us 4 of which were children. Really recommend this property if you want to be in a property with a lot of history. Thank you for making our stay memorable.

Fabulous!

We booked the manor as a family group to celebrate my mums 80th birthday. Our group ranged from 7-80 and the manor suited us all. The accommodation was spotless and had all the amenities we needed. The pool was a lovely temperature and enjoyed by all. The walks around the gardens were lovely. We ate out 2 nights and ordered take away the 3rd. Uber taxis and food delivery drivers came to the manor. All communication with the owners was responded to quickly and professionally. We had a wonderful stay and would thoroughly recommend the manor to anyone who wants a peaceful and relaxing getaway.

Girls weekend October 2009

We heard about Great Tangley from an enthusiastic previous visitor and thus had extremely high expectations. I’m pleased to confirm that these were more than met by the quality of the venue and the excellent service. Being able to have the food for the weekend delivered in advance was fantastic. How wonderful to arrive at the Manor on Friday evening to discover our online delivery had arrived safely, been unpacked for us and the wine was already chilled. The quality of the furnishings especially the bathrooms far exceeds what you can see from the website. We enjoyed walking into the Surrey hills from the venue and not having to use our cars for the entire weekend. The highlight of my weekend was getting to Tangley early so I was able to show the others around. I loved the amazement on their faces as they saw the fabulous bedrooms and bathrooms or the grand dining room. No one guessed where the TV was hidden and it was with great glee I revealed the location. It is a breath-taking venue for an unforgettable weekend with friends or family. I’m already planning my next stay. Just don’t forget your camera – no one will believe your tales of oak panels, Tudor windows, marble baths, moats and walled gardens without photographic proof!

Money making scheme

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 came around to ask for the champagne glasses as he had been told it was a dry event - which was awkward. The owner didn’t want us to ruin the 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.

Lovely Weekend Escape

We enjoyed Great Tangley Manor with two families (4 kids ages 4 - 7). The indoor pool, which was heated to 30 degrees, was a massive hit with our crowd. Two swims / day tired out our kids and allowed the adults to enjoy the many reception rooms with a glass or two of wine. Lovely place to spend a weekend and what a beautiful property!

Salida party - Great Tangley review

Overall, we had a really good experience and a wonderful 10-day stay at this 1000-year old Manor House. We were a family of 9 ranging from grandparents (age 68 and 70) parents in their 30’s and 40’s, two teenagers and a three year old. There was a plumbing issue with the bath in the master bedroom (broken tap) which couldn’t be fixed despite best efforts by Nicho and the owners but apart from that relatively minor inconvenience the house was perfect for our needs. The grounds are magnificent (enhanced by the moat and our very own family of ducks) and the indoor swimming pool was warm and very popular. The house itself is comfortable and interesting with plenty of nooks and crannies to lose yourself in. All five bedrooms were well furnished and comfortable. We would recommend GTM to any family who want to spend some relaxing quality time in a lovely part of southern England. Many thanks to Nicho for being readily available at all times when needed. A great staycation was had by all of us.

We spent a fantastic week at Great Tangley Manor and it was the ideal venue to relax with family and friends. The house and gardens are as great as the pictures suggest and is very well equipped with everything you would need. The indoor swimming pool was put to much use by both children and adults, especially during the mixed English summer weather. Great Tangley Manor is fully recommended and we wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Thank you

Fantastic ...

I am Brit that lives in the US. I wanted to find something quintessentially English to host family and friends at Spring Break. It needed to be easy to get to, big enough, comfortable and all weather (particularly for kids). I found it all at Great Tangley and more. The best part being the wonderful combination of history and modern comfort all mixed together. Adult dinner for 14 in the 1,000 year old panelled dining room, BBQ in the courtyard, Easter Egg hunt in the gardens, kids in the pool; just fantastic.

Gorgeous manor located in the heart of Surrey!

I just returned from a weeklong stay with a literary group at Great Tangley Manor. The manor is in a wonderful location and has all the amenities to make you feel at home. I would highly recommend walking on the public footpaths that lead from the manor into the countryside, playing tennis on the manor tennis courts, going for a swim in the heated pool, reading in the library or drawing room, day trips into the Surrey Hills of Outstanding Beauty, and just soaking up the history of this 11th century manor.

Wonderful family base for a wedding

We had a wonderful stay at Great Tangley when we based ourselves there for our daughter's wedding which was nearby. It is a beautiful setting and we have got some memorable photos of the bride in the gardens. The house is well equipped and comfortable and very homely despite its size and we all had a great time. The manager was very helpful and welcoming - and everything ran smoothly.

A stunning 11th Century Manor House

We were stunned by this impressive 11th century Manor House. It was certainly more than we had anticipated. The house was warm and comfortable and it felt like home. We were all able to relax and enjoy the weekend of celebrations. A truly wonderful experience and we all had a splendid meal on the Saturday evening provided by the caterers. Thank you for making the weekend so memorable.

Stunning property for a birthday of a lifetime!

Frankly, words fail me...it was an honour and a privilege to turn 40 at Tangley, joining an impressive list of historic figures that preceded us. Tangley is stunning, a great place to go back in time whilst having all the modern conveniences you'd ever need. Thank you Nicho for making us so welcome and filling us in on the history of the place, it felt very special. Karen (Birthday Girl, Easter 2015)

Amazing house and wonderful people

Great Tangley Manor is a wonderful house with great facilities. We all had a fantastic stay, everyone was impressed, the photos do not capture the true beauty and atmosphere this place has. The people at GTM couldn't do more to accommodate our requirements, having additional guests for a day. The people were lovely and so helpful. Would highly recommend this as a holiday house for anyone!

60th Birthday Family Weekend

A very enjoyable weekend at Great Tangley Manor with the family, celebrating my husband's 60th birthday. The house is exactly as described. Very spacious, very clean, superbly equipped for a large gathering and extremely comfortable. I can't think of anything it doesn't have that you could want. The grounds are beautiful too and the swimming pool is large for a private pool and reasonably warm. The grandchildren loved it and our son and daughter in law played tennis and gave the court the thumbs up. The house is so close to civilisation yet feels in the heart of the countryside, so it was perfectly situated for our family to get together in nice surroundings without anyone having to travel very far from London. I would recommend this house as being just the ticket for a gathering of any age group. There is so much space in every room that you can't possibly get on top of each other. All of our children agreed that it was far and away the best house that has ever been hired by our family, and we have hired quite a few! It was a shame not to have met Nicho, due to his being away on annual leave, because everyone raves about him in the reviews. But he was very helpful in the first instance of making sure our needs were met by providing extra beds for children. Maybe next time....

Family Christmas at Great Tangley Manor

We stayed at Great Tangley Manor for 5 days over Christmas having flown in our children and grandchildren from Australia, Thailand and the USA - a total of 9 adults, 3 young children and 1 infant. The property is absolutely amazing, very clean and beautifully maintained. Nicho, the manager, was extremely helpful in accommodating our two preview visits and facilitating our moving in. The history of the property is fascinating and one can almost feel the presence of King John (with a wench from the village!) and other royalty who have stayed there and having Christmas dinner in the incredible dining room was a wonderful experience. The grandchildren loved the indoor swimming pool and some of the more energetic ones among us made use of the tennis court. The living rooms, bedrooms and kitchen are very spacious and all very well appointed. All in all, the perfect venue for our family reunion and we would highly recommend Great Tangley Manor. All in all the perfect venue for our family reunion

A beautiful house for a weekend break

12 of us stayed at GTM on the weekend of the 16th May 2014. The property is stunning, spotless and well worth every penny. The staff and owners were incredibly helpful from the day of my initial enquiry, to the day we checked out. All of us said the pictures on the website did not do the property justice. GTM had everything we needed and anything it didn't have, the estate manager offered to get us. I cannot recommend it enough.

Stunning property

What a beautiful property! Properties this nice are hard to find. We stayed for the weekend and used it as the base for our wedding preparations. Upon arrival it was clean and well-maintained given that we had viewed it about 9 months earlier. The house was big enough that everyone had there own space but was so much better than staying in a hotel with other guests. The property is a fantastic combination of modern appliances and character. The library lounge and dining room are wonderful. Highly recommended - stay here if you can!
