"Cowley Manor Experimental was the inspiration for Lewis Carroll’s Wonderland. That isn’t just a tidbit to bore your friends with over moreish, truffle-showered gougères. This luxe British restaurant and hotel just outside of Cheltenham has fairy tale-like grounds, which you should absolutely explore for white rabbits and water features after dinner. While dishes aren't Mad Hatter tea party-levels of fun, they rarely disappoint. And neither do terrace-side sundowners and those spectacular views." - sinead cranna
"This restaurant inside a glorious Cotswolds country house hotel offers bold, vibrant cooking that’s worthy of the rather lovely setting. Start with a drink in the sleek bar, before settling in the panelled dining room that cleverly fuses its original features with more modern elements. The cooking has Mediterranean influences and uses British ingredients well, in dishes like the house-made taglioni with Cornish lobster and pickled chilli. For dessert, their fresh-out-the-oven madeleines are hard to resist." - Michelin Inspector
