Disappointing Stay at Sweetfield Manor We recently stayed at Sweetfield Manor, which is described as a boutique hotel. However, if "boutique" means poorly maintained, noisy, and overpriced, then it fits the description. Cons: Doors don’t close properly—The wooden door to the outside doesn’t shut well, and the veranda door is difficult to close. The bathroom door doesn’t fully close, which is quite embarrassing when using the toilet. Noisy environment—Peacocks look beautiful but are extremely loud in the morning. The air conditioning units and fridge in the room are noisy (we had to unplug the fridge to sleep). Poor soundproofing—We could hear guests using the bathroom next door, and because the doors and windows don’t close properly, we were also disturbed by pots and pans banging in the kitchen. As we checked out, we overheard other guests complaining about the same issue. Shower problems—The water never got hot, even after running for 10 minutes, and the water pressure was very weak. Housekeeping issues—Towels and bath mats left on the veranda to dry were never brought back after cleaning. Pros: Soft bathrobes provided. Two small complimentary bottles of water on arrival (though they were not replaced daily). Veranda with a floating bed—a peaceful place to relax. Lovely gardens and pool area, with charming steps leading down. Overall Impression: While Sweetfield Manor is in a beautiful location, the noise, maintenance issues, and lack of service make it far too expensive for what you get. Would not return at this price.
