Description
The Manor Hotel is a beautiful 28-bedroom seafront hotel set in the heart of Exmouth, Devon — one of the South West's most beloved coastal towns. Sitting where the River Exe meets the sea, Exmouth is famed for its sweeping sandy beaches, golden light, and the kind of natural beauty that makes wedding photographs truly breathtaking. With two miles of stunning seafront on the doorstep and the rolling Devon countryside beyond, The Manor Hotel offers couples a setting that feels both romantic and effortlessly elegant — a world away from the ordinary.
Facilities and Capacity
The Manor Hotel blends traditional coastal character with warm, modern hospitality, offering a collection of versatile event spaces perfectly suited to weddings of every size and style.
The Dining Room is an inviting and beautifully proportioned space, accommodating up to 80 guests for seated wedding breakfasts. With warm tones, natural light, and an atmosphere that feels genuinely celebratory, it sets the perfect scene for a memorable meal shared with those who matter most.
The Primary Event Room is a generous and flexible space, hosting up to 60 guests for a seated reception or up to 80 standing for evening celebrations. With a neutral and welcoming feel, it lends itself to any colour scheme, styling vision, or theme a couple may bring to it.
The Event Room combined with the adjoining Cocktail Lounge & Bar creates a seamless, flowing space ideal for larger celebrations. Together, they comfortably accommodate up to 140 guests — giving weddings a wonderful sense of occasion, movement, and atmosphere. Guests can flow naturally between spaces, enjoying drinks at the bar whilst the main event room takes centre stage.
The Cocktail Lounge & Bar is a stylish and intimate setting, perfect for up to 36–40 guests for drinks receptions, pre-dinner cocktails, or a sophisticated evening gathering. It carries all the warmth and character the hotel is known for.
A Setting Made for Memories
Exmouth is one of Devon's true coastal gems, and The Manor Hotel makes the most of every inch of that setting. The seafront location means couples and their photographers have access to some of the most naturally stunning backdrops in the South West — from the wide golden sands of Exmouth Beach to the shimmering estuary waters stretching towards the rolling hills of East Devon.
Just moments from the hotel, the beautiful Manor Gardens offer a tranquil green escape — a wonderfully photogenic space with manicured lawns, mature trees, seasonal planting, and a charm that perfectly complements the hotel's traditional character. Whether for intimate couple portraits or full wedding party photography, the combination of coastal views, beach, and garden settings gives Exmouth an almost unrivalled range of backdrops across all seasons.
From dramatic winter light over the Exe Estuary to sun-drenched summer evenings on the seafront, every season tells a different and beautiful story.
