Lords Of The Manor Hotel

“A fabulous, relaxing stay.”

Booked for two nights for a celebration and what a great choice. The hotel is in Upper Slaughter (not an appropriate name for a place to spend a wedding anniversary but never mind) and a 30-40 minute walk to Bourton on the Water via an easy, beautiful walk which takes you past the Hawkstone Brewery… lisää

Booked for two nights for a celebration and what a great choice. The hotel is in Upper Slaughter (not an appropriate name for a place to spend a wedding anniversary but never mind) and a 30-40 minute walk to Bourton on the Water via an easy, beautiful walk which takes you past the Hawkstone Brewery( ask for a map at reception). A hotel is only as good as its staff and, without exception,the staff is one of the best in the country as far as I’m concerned. Everyone we came in contact with were friendly, helpful and professional. They were a delight from the youngest to the more experienced and made our stay relaxing and effortless. Nothing was too much trouble and the atmosphere in the dining room was not stuffy but friendly and professional. The food was absolutely delicious and a credit to the kitchen staff. The gardens were beautifully maintained and we spent a couple of lovely afternoons with tea or a glass of fizzy looking out over the beautiful countryside or sitting in the walled gardens. Lords of the Manor deserves every success and we can’t wait to return in the future.

What a truly amazing and unique experience we’ve just had at Lords of the Manor. I cannot recommend this hotel enough. We stayed to celebrate my 50th Birthday as a surprise and I’m so delighted we did! From the moment you arrive the wonderful welcome you receive makes you feel like one of the family and this professional warmth was shown by every member of staff throughout our stay. The location is idyllic. Pure Cotswolds heaven! There are so many lovely places to visit on the doorstep and walks to go on we were spoiled for choice. However the hotel and its gorgeous gardens and grounds were so beautiful we stayed all afternoon drinking delicious rose wine and relaxing in the sunshine. We also took a stroll around the grounds and there was so much to see including ponds and secret gardens with many well placed benches to rest and admire the view. The rooms were of the highest quality and decorated so elegantly. We stayed in ‘Whitt’ which overlooked the gardens at the front of the manor and was luxurious in every way. From the home made biscuits, molten brown toiletries to robes and slippers there was nothing that hadn’t been thought about and provided. The beds were incredibly comfortable and lots of thought had clearly gone into ensuring a good nights sleep which we definitely had. The manor is silent at night and in the morning we were woken by wonderful birdsong outside the window. We ate dinner in the garden room as we had a dog among our party (dogs are very welcome here). The food was delicious- among the best we’ve ever eaten. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and we received impeccable service with lovely additional touches such as the birthday cake plate. If I could give 6 stars for this hotel I would. Staying there was truly memorable and made my birthday so special. We’re already planning on when we can go back again!

“You have to visit”

This is a wonderful hotel to stay in. Quiet. Unbelievable and attentive service. Lovely for a break away from 21st century madness. Restaurant is wonderful. Breakfast unhurried. Oh my a spa without the massages etc etc

“Frustrating”

Frustrating because so good in most things but let down by mediocre dinner. The room (dog friendly) was pretty much perfect: pleasant decor, lovely spacious bathroom with an excellent shower, and everything we wanted was provided. There were even coat hooks and a good bed for our medium-large sized dog. A nice touch was the special provision of gluten free biscuits. The hotel is in a great site. The grounds themselves make excellent short walks and sitting areas. The surrounding countryside makes walks a delight, with no car journey needed. However dinner was not good. Starters and a dessert were fine. But both of us found our main course poor to mediocre: it was edible but very bland. Lamb was pretty tasteless, with precious little of the lamb-sauce (which was probably just as well given the sauce!). The sea bream dish was simply boring. Also over 40 minutes between a starter and a main is way too long. Fortunately, breakfast was better. The service is pleasant though, with very nice staff.
