Fabulous Stay for 50th Birthday
We initially booked Altamount Manor in January 2021 for July 2021 but we couldnt go ahead due to Covid complications. Nick, the owner, transferred our whole booking to October 2021 in the course of 1 phone call. No hassle at all, and very easy to deal with. On arrival at the property Nick and his staff couldnt do enough for us. We had booked a barbeque for the friday night for our whole party of 30 and the food was delicious. We also booked breakfast for the saturday morning which was perfect. An afternoon tea was also arranged for us by Nick which was absolutely delicious. Saturday nigbt was party night and Nick had arranged for the hall to be decorated with a beautiful balloon arch and decorations. The hall provided the perfect space for dancing and the PA system worked perfectly. The whole manor is spotlessly clean and very homely. All in all we woukd totally recommend Altamount Manor for any occasion!

Great for a family get together
A great venue for a family get together. The function room set up for games, including a bouncy castle, proved a wonderful part of the weekend for the kids (thanks Nicholas for suggesting it) and the sitting room and separate bar area proved a lovely combination for the adults to socialise and move between groups. The commercial kitchen was much more user friendly than it looked and self-catering for 27 proved it! Negatives? despite Andrew’s ingenuity the house really isn’t set up for disabled or partially disabled guests at this time. The location is great for access to town and some lovely walks, but it is far from being secluded and the houses overlooking the front lawns were a bit of a surprise to be honest, as was seeing people walking past the dining room windows on a regular basis. The positives far outweighs these though, and Altamount proved a wonderful venue for a memorable long weekend with family ranging from 16mths to 96yrs. Also great to have Andrew on call, who was ever willing and most helpful at all times.

Stay with Friends
The manor was the perfect venue for the weekend, we hosted a party with a few friends. The rooms were all a good size and the hosts were very accommodating to our needs. The industrial kitchen was perfect for cooking for a large amount of people and all the communal areas were a brilliant size for hosting. The house was spotless on arrival, couldn’t fault it. Lovely location would recommend.
