Good Hotel Guide Review

A luxury afternoon tea in gardens on the River Eye and fine dining in the evening are among the sybaritic pleasures to be enjoyed at this Cotswold-stone former rectory. Past incumbents, the Witts, rectors-turned-squires and prodigious diarists, did not stint themselves; why should you? Bedrooms are chic, with soft-hued decor, good fabrics, some well-judged antiques. Those in the main house, including the big, bay-windowed Lords rooms, overlook the grounds, while those in the stables and granary have views of the village or courtyard. There is a bar menu for light lunches, while in the dining room à la carte menus for omnivores and vegans include dishes such as pea and spring onion risotto; lamb rump, champ, Wye valley asparagus, artichoke. Head chef Charles Smith’s creative tasting menus are available in the more formal Atrium. In summer the meadow is spangled with wild flowers; bees buzz in the lavender. By autumn, in the walled garden, espaliered fruit trees are heavy with apples and pears. Non-residents can book a guided tour; residents are free to roam. ‘What a beautiful hotel and grounds; an absolute delight.’ (Ralph Wilson)

Lords of the Manor has always offered a sensational dining experience, matched by one of the best cellars in the country. This package offers you a guaranteed table in the fine dining Atrium at Lords of the Manor restaurant, plus a second night of dining in the complementary Dining Room. Two nights, two styles of dining. You’ll enjoy Head Chef, Charles Smith’s acclaimed Signature Tasting menu in the more intimate Atrium restaurant, together with an evening in The Dining Room, with its more relaxed à la carte menu.

Alternatively, have a car-free experience of the Cotswolds (and work up an appetite) by taking the lovely circular walk to Lower Slaughter and Bourton-on-the-Water recognised as one of the finest of all Cotswold short walks. From just £350 per room per night. T&Cs: Rates are based on two guests sharing a room for two nights, with dinner for two in the Atrium and the à la carte menu in The Dining Room on consecutive nights.
