Buckland Manor

Visited for lunch, The approach is beautiful. Entering inside is cosy and what you would expect from this period property, until you reach the Reception, which was in a tiny room and reminded me of a 2 star reception in Skegness. The quality of the food is excellent as you would expect, but the lunch lacked any inspiration, I ordered the Salmon, and that's all that arrived , just a small plate of salmon with a few capers and that was it. Also my wife ordered the cecoutery which came with some folded parma ham and some salamy, again nothing else, no garnish or salad, .We ordered 2 lots of chips and some bread, .This and 4 drinks came to £116 Having visited many local 5 star hotel and restaurants in the Cotswold , It just fell short of our expectations,

Really cosy place for a winter break. It is like staying in a private country house rather than a hotel. Stayed in a small deluxe room which was very nice and had a fantastic generously sized bathroom. Very good food. The staff are friendly and professional. Would love to visit again sometime.

Buckland Manor was just as magical on our second visit as it was on our first (back in 2017). Exceptional staff- all of them, outstanding service, and a truly beautiful setting made for another memorable stay.||At Christmas, the decor is simply stunning! You genuinely feel as though you’ve stepped into a living Christmas card. We loved spending time in the lounge with the fires roaring; it’s the perfect backdrop for a glass of wine and a relaxed evening meal.||Breakfast was delicious, and even the sandwiches and chips from the bar menu exceeded expectations. ||There’s a timeless elegance about Buckland Manor that makes you want to return again and again.

We never ended up eating at this restaurant. After we made a reservation for Dec 7, we realized that what we expected was not actually being offered. When we canceled the reservation, the restaurant handled it poorly and showed no flexibility, repeatedly pointing to policy instead of trying to resolve the situation reasonably. The issue had to be taken to our credit card company, which reviewed everything and refunded the charge. Based on how this was handled — before we ever even stepped inside — I would not recommend this restaurant. Anyone booking should double-check all details in advance and be prepared for very strict policies.

We had a fabulous afternoon tea with family at this beautiful hotel. The staff were really friendly and made us feel welcome as soon as we walked through the door. Thank you to everyone at Buckland Manor for such a happy day.

We spent six nights at Buckland Manor, a beautifully preserved country house nestled just minutes from Broadway. Its location is ideal for exploring the most picturesque villages in the Cotswolds, and Broadway itself—full of charming houses, excellent restaurants, and boutique shops—is a delight to visit.||At Buckland, we stayed in one of their two Master Rooms. Spacious and elegantly appointed, it featured a comfortable king-size bed and a luxurious bathroom with heated floors, a deep soaking tub, and a separate shower. The manor’s lounge areas were equally inviting, offering several cozy spots to relax, have a tea or coffee or simply unwind with a drink before dinner.||The on-site restaurant is very good, though the menu is fixed and doesn’t change throughout the week—a limitation if you’re staying for several days. Fortunately, Broadway’s many dining options are close by. On our final evening, the kitchen kindly prepared a special meal just for us, which was both thoughtful and delicious.||Breakfasts were à la carte and served at the table—consistently excellent. The manor itself is steeped in character, with antique furnishings and classic décor that evoke the timeless charm of the Cotswolds. The gardens are lovely and must be especially enjoyable for outdoor drinks or meals in warmer weather.||One seasonal quirk: during our stay, we noticed quite a few flies dying on the room floor—likely a result of the changing weather. It didn’t detract from the overall experience, but worth noting.||The staff were unfailingly kind and attentive, always ready to help with a smile.||All in all, it was a wonderful week. We wholeheartedly recommend Buckland Manor and would gladly return.

Come here for afternoon tea if you’re looking for a place of quiet luxury — calm, peaceful, and with a fantastic ambiance that feels like stepping into a experience from another time. We visited Buckley Manor for afternoon tea and made a same-day reservation through OpenTable without any issues. We opted for the cream tea, which was lovely. The tea selection process was a nice touch — they brought out a sample box so we could smell the blends before choosing. The scones were excellent: two smaller ones per order, served warm, perfectly balanced between flaky and soft. Service was adequate but not memorable. Our young waitress helped adjust the sun umbrella, which we appreciated, but she wasn’t particularly attentive or warm. That said, she wasn’t rude either — just somewhat indifferent. Payment is handled at the reception desk, which was a bit unexpected for afternoon tea. The Grounds were beautiful. We sat outside under the umbrella on a perfectly kept lawn, and it was truly the highlight of the experience. On a nice day, outdoor seating is highly recommended. The indoor area looked cozy and elegant, but the best tables are definitely outside. Overall: A lovely spot for cream tea with excellent scones and a gorgeous garden setting. Service could be more polished, but the ambiance makes it worth a visit. Confidence on my rating: - low. Have only been once and only had the cream tea.

Buckland Manor was spectacular. The staff was amazingly helpful. They even helped us deal with a parking ticket we got in Oxford and arranged an spur of the moment tour of the gardens with the gardener Thomas which was informative and fun. The food was spectacular! Our room was lovely and included a huge bathroom. There are activities that you can choose in all seasons. Our son and friends stayed at Buckland over Thanksgiving and recommended it to us. They loved it and so did we. Dont miss this place!

We've stayed at Buckland a few times over the years and it was charming. Our latest experience was less than optimal. The bell people were either too small or frail to help us bring our bags up the stairs. There is not a lift. The rooms need refreshing -badly. Everything including the service seemed "tired" - not quaint or charming. The bar service was inconsistent. Sometimes, the drinks were phenomenal and other times they were subpar. The dining experience was lackluster and the food was average. The chef and staff have changed since our last experiences and it shows in every detail. Would seriously reconsider staying here. What a shame, it had such charm and vibrancy that it is now lacking.

Tucked away right before the main Broadway strip, Buckland is a gorgeous manor. We didn't stay at the manor but went for afternoon tea. The lobby lounge area was very quaint and cozy for tea. We sat on some cushy couches to enjoy. The tea selections were plentiful and several options for the tea food as well. The service was also on point. The food was just ok - one of the finger sandwiches was dry around the edges, so it had clearly been pre-cut and sitting out. The fruit scone was also extremely dry, burnt, crumbled at the touch. Surprising and unfortunate. One of the sweet options on the top rack was stuck to the plate so it exploded as we tried to placate it and we didn't really get to eat it. Food was 3 stars at best but the ambiance was key. To note - there was a 10% service charge auto-added to our bill and parking is free.

My husband and I stayed here for our 40 th wedding trip. We were here for 4 days before we left on a cruise. The rooms are gorgeous, the meals are wonderful. My husband discovered oatmeal for breakfast served with a splash of scotch. We returned a few years ago with friends for lunch and were treated like long lost friends. The gardens are beautiful, the place is so relaxing.I cannot say enough about it. It is just what you really want when you visit England. We can't wait to return.
