Vihula Manor Country Club & Spa

Lovely hotel! We started our journey through the Baltic states here, coming from Tallinn’s airport, and we were immediately impressed by Estonia’s beauty along the way and especially at the Manor and its surroundings. Especially during the Autumn season, it’s simply just beautiful!! The trees are magnificent, the foliage is so bright and colourful, it’s stunning! You need a rental car, but there’s plenty of parking spaces available. The staff were top notch, very welcoming and professional, and they spoke very good English at the reception and at the restaurant (we ate at the hotel the 3 nights we stayed there). The grounds are worth a visit, it’s so pretty and peaceful… Your room will probably be on a separate building, so don’t unload your car before you check in, to avoid lugging your things around. Also, there are steps to most rooms and to the breakfast/dinning room, so be aware of that (you’ll also have to carry your luggage to your room, so pack light). Our room was very spacious and comfortable as you would expect from a rather old building. There are heaters and the bathroom had a heated floor, which was welcome since it could get cold at night. However, the shower head tends to swivel and you can easily wet all the floor, so a fixed shower head would have been nicer. Also, the cleaning service is only done if you ask so, for ecological reasons, but with the dirt and little stones that you bring attached to your suitcase and shoes (even if you take them off before coming to the room), I think a vacuuming is needed almost every day. The outlets by the bed are also not very accessible, but apart from these little details, we had zero complaints. The restaurant was also very good. There’s not a lot of options, but there’s something to everyone, and the portions are very generous. The mussels were especially delicious!!! And the cheese platter can feed a family of four, almost!

We loved staying at Vihula Manor, unfortunately only one night... we will surely be back and stay longer because the place deserves to be explored, enjoyed and embodied! Dinner was an amazing culinary experience, service very good. A big hug and thanks to Iris working at the restaurant, she made every request possible with a gentle smile, my kid loved her! Breakfast was rich and beautifully presented. Everything clean and arranged even though it was rush hour and dining room was full. Coffee was good even though from an automatic machine. We stayed in a Zen room, in the Vodka distillery building. Very simple room, but beautiful manor atmosphere and our window was right over the river and the sound of the water was a gentle and relaxing music for us.

Accomondation was great, and the complex is pretty. The lady in the reception was helpful and very friendly.

It is my favourite part of Estonia and I come here often and have visited Vihula manor and its surroundings already as a child. But it was my first time to stay for the night and it was just great! The sauna-pools part is extremely nice and well taken care for. Room was big, our 4-member family fitted very well there. Outside walks-buildings-mini-golf, everything so beautiful and relaxing. Breakfast was rich and delicious. Dinner exceptional!

- This is a place for those who like a nature. Really beautiful place to be closer to nature. - There are two small museums you can visit to get a closer look at manor history. - There is a small shop with local sweets/honey/tea and souvenirs. - Possible to visit swimming pool and sauna center. - Also can rent a bicycle to get a small trip around or you can take a boat to make a small trip on the river. - Good location as you can visit nearby places like Rakvere castle or Toolse castle etc.
