Lords Of The Manor Hotel

Lords of the Manor is an outstanding country hotel that delivers warmth and hospitality in a way that truly stands out, and the service on our recent stay was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, Neil at the front desk set the tone for our stay with his impeccable professionalism, genuine warmth and proactive help with every request. Nothing ever felt transactional; he consistently went out of his way to check in on our comfort, offer thoughtful suggestions (especially on charging our car) and make us feel like valued guests rather than just another booking. Sydney at the front desk was also very warm welcoming and hugely informative especially with our queries. One of the highlights of our stay was also the elderly red‑haired lady on the team who greeted our dog with such sincere kindness, fussing over her and offering a treat that absolutely made her day. Her gentle manner and obvious affection for four‑legged guests captured the spirit of a hotel that not only allows dogs but genuinely welcomes them as part of the family. Service at Lords of the Manor felt wonderfully personalised with staff quickly remembering our preferences, and tailoring their interactions accordingly. Special mention of the gentleman (with a beard - sorry don’t recall his name!) who was serving us at the restaurant - and was excellent. From thoughtful check‑ins at reception to small touches throughout the property, there is a consistent sense that the team take real pride in ensuring every guest has a special, individually memorable stay. The overall atmosphere is one of relaxed elegance, where the beauty of the house and grounds is matched by the genuine warmth of everyone working there. Thanks to Neil and the wonderful red‑haired lady staff member in particular, Lords of the Manor now feels like a place we will happily return to again and again, and it is recommended wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a luxurious yet deeply welcoming Cotswolds escape with or without a dog.

One word: Wonderful! We spent one night at the Lords of the Manor, with another couple, and enjoyed the Signature Tasting Menu, Bed & Breakfast package. From the moment we arrived, the standard of service was superb. Bags taken from us at the car which was then valet parked, followed by a warm welcome at reception and then shown to our room. The bedroom was very well appointed and a clean, modern take on traditional. The bar presented a relaxed surrounds for a pre-dinner drink, and the tasting menu was simply sublime. The next morning gave a chance to walk round the superbly kept gardens and view this lovely manor house from the outside. Above all, every member of staff was supremely pleasant and polite. So, it isn't cheap, but it is 100% worth it for service, food, and surrounds like this.

The manor is located in the little hamlet of Upper Slaughter, it’s actually the main structure there. Upon arrival you can drop the bags at the reception and the car can be valeted to the car park at the back. As this splendid-looking house dates to mid-17th century it is full of steps, stairs, cosy rooms and nooks and crannies. There is a well-kept garden at the back.||The reception is on the left from the main entrance. The check in was quick and efficient.||Our Manor Room was located on the first floor. It was spacious with a large bed, plenty of seating and a free- standing wardrobe containing a safety box. There was no AC but the fan was provided.||Tea and coffee facilities as well as bottled water and biscuits were provided. ||WiFi signal quality was good.||Bathroom was on the small size but with all the required facilities. Bathrobes and slippers were provided.||We dined at the hotel’s Dining Room restaurant and the food was delicious, especially the duck legs. Wine list was acceptable.||Breakfast was excellent, with selection of bread-rolls, cereals, cheeses and fruit. Cooked dishes were very tasty.||Staff were all very friendly and helpful.||Overall, we had a very enjoyable stay and would highly recommend this hotel.

We booked Lords of The Manor for my 60th birthday break.I research all my vacations very thoroughly and after lots of research chose this hotel.|What a brilliant choice it turned out to be. Loved the way how personable and friendly all of the staff are,so much nicer then the snootiness that can sometimes - accompany a country house stay. They seemed like one,big happy family.||I must give a special thank you to the lovely Nune,Hanna and Rhiannon who were so friendly and helpful - A delight and a real compliment to the hotel.||The hotel is just the right size for us,not too big and not too small,with a real homely,country house atmosphere. Loved sitting in the various lounges,fires blazing,with a glass of port in my hand |We stayed in a room called Wrigley which was beautifully appointed with a lovely view over the gardens.Its unusual for hotel rooms to be so quiet.A breath of fresh air.No doors banging or big foot walking around upstairs. Very rare||Breakfast was perfect with great choices,presentation and chilled out atmosphere. ||I'm very fussy when it comes to hotels and vacations and 100% recommend this hotel

Exquisite accommodation !staff go above and beyond -delicious food. Honestly, one of my favorite hotel stays ever. the location is absolutely stunning as is the property. You can walk out your door and go out on beautiful walks straight out of a merchant ivory film . highly recommend and hope to return soon - we miss it already! We stayed in a Manor room very large size great amenities incredible service.

Welcoming and friendly hotel. The room was very comfortable with a view over the courtyard surrounded by beautiful countryside for walks. Must mention the delicious tasting menu with matching wines. The chicken liver with quince canapé was most memorable.

Beautiful hotel with a great atmosphere. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, which really made the experience enjoyable. Special thanks to Sydney, who was super helpful in arranging a taxi back to town and made everything very smooth. Highly recommend this place for the service and overall experience!

Until this visit, this was one of our favourite hotels. Service and food used to be excellent - however not on this occasion.|The room - a Cotswold suite was lovely and the high point of this stay.|Poor communication from the hotel meant we didn’t book in to the atrium restaurant (included in our stay) as we had dogs and were told we could eat with them in the other restaurant. This was not the case!|The standard restaurant is just that - standard fare which is inferior to lots of other local restaurants. |No local produce on the menu- cheese course given with no explanation and poor quality cheeses- a real shame when the local co-op in bourton on the water has such a fantastic cheese counter!!!|All in all a super disappointing stay- look elsewhere if you want great service and good food.|Whately manor, corse lawn hotel etc - there are many in the area!

Outstanding service at the manor surrounded by beautiful gardens. Excellent breakfast and dinner was delicious.

Amazing, beautiful, and cleanest hotel I've ever seen! This is a wonderful hotel! The grounds are so lovely, I wished I could paint! Hotel itself is elegant with generous rooms and amenities. Full delicious breakfast included. And the staff was friendly and helpful. Will definitely stay again!! Wish I could give more stars!!

If you can - stay here. Very accommodating and very nice people. Didnt thing the food was bad at all. Room was delightful. Take the afternoon and follow the paths through the sheep pastures over to the other little towns - be careful where you step. We walked all over the place and met great people on the same quest as us. One of the best places we stayed in the west of London

The hotel is situated in a beautiful and charming area. The surrounding Villages are beautiful and a must see. The grounds of the hotel are well manicured and designed. The hotel staff is accommodating and warm. There is a beautiful design and the upscale charm.

This rating is more for the hotel and service more than the food. This manor house is nothing less than splendid. Let me start from the outside garden and yard. The front lawn is so nice with benches overlooking the pond and small hiking trails going off in various directions. The backyard garden is so wonderful with all the flowers and the layout is similar to that of noble gardens of the past, but on a much smaller scale. Other than the dead mouse outside the back door that was there for two days, it really was relaxing. The inside consists of so many halls, doors, and rooms that my wife went down the wrong hall at least three times trying to get back to our room. There are several sitting rooms, lounges, tea room and bar. Although we did not eat at the restaurant for dinner, we had a great breakfast that was one part buffet and we also ordered some more food. In the evening we sat in the lounge and I had one of the local beers which was refreshing. My wife had tea and chocolates. The barman/waiter brought out a large, wooden box filled with at least 20 different chocolates to choose from. They were good! The room was very nice. The room made me feel like royalty and the bed was most certainly fit for someone with high expectations. If you can, I highly recommend at least a one night stay.

This is a lovely hotel, and it's in a beautiful spot. We had high tea on a lovely day in April, sitting outside on the gorgeous lawn overlooking the pretty streams and pond at the bottom of the valley. It loses two stars because we had the (pricey) high tea and the bread for the sandwiches was stale - not just turning stale, starting to get hard to chew stale. A shame because the cakes and tea were great, but a place that can serve sandwiches with stale bread isn't getting the basics right.
