Good Hotel Guide Review
The hotel experts at the Good Hotel Guide
'Our stay was wonderful – the staff, the food and our lovely room were exceptional,’ readers wrote of a stay at this luxury hotel, a historic country house, extended in the 1800s for the Witts family, rectors and later Lords of Upper Slaughter. Guests to the manor born find a welcome escape from the Cotswolds’ tourist honeypots. Country-chic bedrooms, some in a converted barn and granary, range from bijou with a standard double bed, to Lords Rooms in the oldest part of the house, with a king-size bed, overlooking the front garden and countryside. A beamed attic suite had ‘a quite large bedroom, comfortable bed, nice tea and coffee facilities, proper cups and saucers, real milk’. All have Molton Brown toiletries. There are tasting menus in Atrium, or you can dine à la carte on dishes such as pea, spring onion and mint risotto, king prawns, lemon, olive oil, pea tendrils. A ‘good breakfast’ brings ‘the usual cooked items including kippers, lots of help-yourself starters’. The River Eye flows past the wildflower meadow in showcase gardens, ‘a great credit to the gardeners’. (JB, MC, and others).
