St Lawrence Manir
Stayed here with 16 members of the family, aged 10 months to over 70. Games room was perfect, very well stocked kitchen , bedrooms were good, in general the property needs a hug, tired in places. The beaches are accessible by only the sure footed, and we’re not suitable to sit on as there was evidence of rock falls.having said that the coastal walks were perfect

St Lawrence Manor - Ideal for the Lawrence family!
Our Lawrence family, made up of 23 people (including 6 children) have just spent the August Bank Holiday weekend at St Lawrence Manor. Everyone, from the oldest to the youngest loved it. Its 11 bedrooms (all with ensuite) spacious lounges and dining areas, large kitchen (well equipped) splash pool, tennis court & games room provided more than enough for all the family. Its location, near Ventnor, was also perfect enabling us to get around the south of the island easily. The Seascape view, from the Manor, was idyllic and the walks down to the beach were both interesting and good exercise! The local shop, in St Lawrence village, was only a short walk away and provided sufficient produce and other commodities to keep us going over the 4 days. We took the Wight Ferry from Lymington to Yarmouth. The drive from Yarmouth to the Manor House, along the Old Military Road, was spectacular! Most of the family had never been to the IOW so were pleasantly surprised how lovely it is. We’ll be back!

Fantastic Property
Really lovely property, excellent communication from Stephen the host. Stephen was really helpful with help and advice with regards to ferry crossings and the local area. At the earliest opportunity contacted me to let me know that the hot tub was out of use, however recommended a company that we were able to rent one from for the week. This was then set up and ready for our arrival, and we were reimbursed for this. The children and adults thoroughly enjoyed the facilities in the house and grounds, especially the pool and tennis court. We all had a great stay and would book to stay here again. Thank you!

I stayed at the manor with a group of 20 other friends, last weekend and I would thoroughly recommend St Lawrence Manor to anyone. Stephen (who manages the property) has been communicative from the start, providing comprehensive information about the house, being quick to answer questions and solve problems and generally attentive to ensure our stay was enjoyable. Just before we went, a couple of concerning reviews were posted (ref: Tanya and Ellen), which I highlighted to Stephen. We had a conversation about what happened with this trip and their comments were the opposite of what I had experienced with Stephen, so I was confident that these reviews were not an accurate reflection of the manor. The place is is massive - it took us at least 10 minutes to just to explore the labyrinth of rooms. What makes this place special is the large dining room, sitting room and patio space that means that the full capacity of guests (26, I believe) can socialise in the same room. When you want to splinter off, there are plenty of activities to keep you entertained - table tennis, pool, tennis, swimming, hot tub. It's also super close to the beach. The house is kitted out with all the crockery and cooking utensils you need - we made a vat of pasta for 26 with ease in the huge, catering-sized pots- and there are enough fridge freezers and dishwashers for the house too. The bedrooms are comfortable - most have an ensuite and those in the front of the house have a great view over the sea, including a few with balconies too. This is the ideal place for a large family or group of friends. Don't have any hesitation in booking!

Fantastic Property!
A brilliant stay with my friends and family for the weekend - Stephen the host was very accommodating with all of my questions and queries. The property itself is great, had everything you could ask for that accommodates larger parties. Tennis court was a big plus! Would definitely recommend :)

Perfect place for enjoying quality time with a big group of loved ones
We loved our stay at the manor - it's wonderfully comfortable. It has loads of indoors space, the couches and beds are super comfy, the table is big enough to accommodate 25 people at once. The location is amazing, we loved the surroundings. Unfortunately we discovered one day before our trip that were not gonna be able to enjoy the hot tub due to unforeseen circumstances. The owner sent us a compensation as a goodwill gesture, which we appreciated. Communication with the host was easy and made the whole process way more pleasant than I would have expected for such a large booking. We're really grateful we got to spend our yearly retreat in such a lovely place.

Perfect house for large families or parties
The property owner was always contactable and extremely helpful prior to check-in and during our stay. The house was perfect for our group (3 families) because it was massive. It is not a luxury property but has all the amenities you need and a very big professional kitchen. This allowed us to get caterers in to cook for us (also organised by the owner). Our kids loved the tennis court and the pool and hot tub. It is in a beautiful location with lots of lovely walks and beaches nearby as well as Ventnor.

Excellent long weekend for large group
We stayed her with 23 people, which the house amazing accommodated comfortably! It had everything we needed, easy to get to the local beach, great pool and hot tub and the games room and tennis court kept us entertained the whole time. I would 100% recommend this to big groups looking for a quality time. Only thing I can say is that the house is better in real life than the pictures!

Another fun family holiday at the manor!
Third year in a row, St. Lawrence Manor House is perfectly suited to our needs as a family holiday venue on the wonderful Isle of Wight! So much space, inside and out, great fun on the tennis court and in the games room, could not recommend the manor more and we have already booked our return for 2020! Thanks again, D xx

Lovely house in an idyllic location
Lovely house in an idyllic location. Slept 17 of us comfortably for the weekend. House was well kept and very interesting. Loads of outside space a hot tub and tennis courts. We didnt use the pool as it was June. Stephen was easy to get hold off, friendly and checking in was easy. Stephen also extended our check out to accommodate for our ferry. We had a great weekend catching up and the house easily allowed for that.
