Buckland Manor in Tewkesbury - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

2408 Visited for afternoon tea. We had a wonderful time in a wonderful room. Anyway, the portion was huge and I was full quickly, but when I asked for the bill, I was asked if I wanted to take it home, so I was able to pack it up in a box and take it home. When I paid at the reception desk, I asked for a taxi and it arrived in about 10 minutes, which was very helpful.

My father came to this hotel with his first wife, who is lovely, multiple times around 1990-1993. He described it as warm, charming and home-y while still being very luxurious in an English-Country-House style. When I told him I was coming to visit a friend living in Coventry he decided to treat me and her to a night and dinner at Buckland Manor. It was everything and more of what he told me. Even the lowest room category will allow you to live a full English-Country-House experience. The prices are high but so is the level of service and dedication. We are now considering to rent out this property for his 70th birthday and thus I can only recommend it!

We were here for the Champagne afternoon tea. The food was good, but it lacked the sparkle we were hoping for. The staff forgot we had booked the champagne option. When the champagne eventually arrived they poured us all a glass, then forgot about it (left it in a cooler on the other side of the room). We even had to ask for cream to go with our scones... it took about 10 minutes to come out, but then they rushed to each table providing cream, so I assume they'd forgotten cream for all tables.

First visit Great ambience soft music well presented hotel on first expression fabulous grounds outdoor seating. Lots of staff on hand Tidy car park grand entrance. The food. As a vegetarian only one starter and one main! Crackers and olives served with our drinks. Great start! Extensive wine list and prices to match one small glass of nytimber fizz £14 ridiculous I did enjoy there complementary muse Bouches adapted for me as a veggie! Starter I had the heritage tomatoes v nice but dry a sauce would have helped I did try a little of nubby sauce he had on his salmon starter which was delicious. Main I had another starter which was cauliflower in a purée bit like baby food with chilli quite tasty but requested bread to mop it up! Wasn’t going to waste it, hubby had lamb not much of it And mostly fat and tough hardly any veg. Pre desert was pleasant unexpected and filling Their raspberry soufflé was delicious. So was a expresso martini, BUT AT £230 = 3 starters -one main -one pudding - 3 glasses of wine - one bottle of water - one expresso martini - prob wouldn’t return

Had afternoon tea for 2 and tea and biscuits for one with my parents, very underwhelming awful value for money. The room we were in was drab, no atmosphere with worn uncomfortable chairs - no tablecloths on a coffee table. Tea was weak. Welsh rarebit on cheap soggy bread - tasteless. ‘Sausage roll’ lacked flavour and seasoning. Sandwiches were sparse. Egg mayo, roast beef and mayo and smoked salmon and …mayo. One finger each per person on cheap thick supermarket bread. Fruit scones ok but fruit on outside so burnt -nothing inside, didn’t bother eating the plain ones, cakes- Chou bun and pana cotta was nice, everything else all sugar and no flavour. Worth £38 no!!! Glad I didn’t pay as was a gift. Staff were pleasant but not very attentive. Felt like I was in an empty nursing home.

Some quite nice dishes and a great wine list. However, not great if you are staying at the hotel since the menu is narrow and does not change from night to night - even the canapes, amuse-bouches and pre-dessrts are the same every night. Only one vegtarian main. Overall I think the food is on the medeocre side of OK for a fine dining place.

Un peu déçue . Chambre pas très propre surtout derrière la table de chevet . Pas de stylo ni de bloc papier pour prendre des notes. Salle de bains moderne mais pas très fonctionnelle, difficile de poser ses affaires, pas suffisamment de place autour du lavabo. Sol usé dans la douche. Sèche cheveux manquant, j’ai du en demander un en appelant la réception . Petit-déjeuner correct mais service trop lent. Seulement 3 tables d’occupées mais une seule personne pour la prise de commande, manque de personnel à mon avis . J’ai demandé du beurre salé, on m’en a rapporté en toute petite quantité en me disant qu’il n’y avait que cela. La demeure et le parc sont magnifiques. La réception n’est pas digne d’un établissement de ce genre .

What a magical stay, everything was perfect. A beautiful house in an equally beautiful location. So peaceful and quiet, so good for the soul. The staff were excellent, so friendly and attentive nothing was too much trouble. The little touches, flapjacks (the most delicious I have ever tasted), under a cloche in the room, fresh flowers on the tables, super coffee machine, the bed was turned down whilst we were out of the room. The food - breakfast and dinner, was out of this world (thank you chef), again served to us so efficiently and friendly. Everything was so personal, which made us feel very special. I cannot recommend Buckland Manor more highly. We really hope we can return. Thank you to everyone.

Dinner offered a good selection. Starting with a chefs treat. Steak was perfect. Breakfast was first class - especially the black pudding. Staff were attentive and efficient

Went with my husband today for lunch. It is such an amazing place, beautiful building, the food was excellent and the service absolutely outstanding.

We had a lovely Twixmas stay here for 3 nights. The afternoon tea was lovely, the restaurant was great, and the atmosphere was cozy. They were also very nice about my assistance dog. There weren't a ton of vegetarian options at the restaurant, but there were tons of options for breakfast, which we filled up on. The location was idyllic but also close enough to other cute Cotswold villages. They definitely deserve their Relais and Chateaux designation.

Enjoyed a birthday afternoon tea here! It was outstanding in content, atmosphere, service and setting. Couldn't fault the experience. Will definitely be back again! Thank you!

Fantastic place. Great room, fabulous food and superb service. Very relaxing. Will certainly return.

Went there for an anniversary dinner, and paid about £250 for a simple dinner for 2, with just 1 glass of wine. Superb surroundings and service, but though there were lots of tiny extras to the dinner, the portions were miniscule and left us hungry, and the chef ruins the texture of the root vegetables by pureeing most of them to the point of liquefaction. Conversation over dinner was made difficult by unnecessary and inappropriate piped music.

Buckland Manor, Relais and Chateaux have some work to do. Took our friends to Sunday Lunch not a good experience. Service staff needs serious training: red wine was spilled in a couple of places on the tablecloth and my friend's hand while being served; plates were scraped, silver stacked as were the plates at the table side; the crumbs were cleaned from the table twice by two different people; food spills on the table cloth by one person - we requested a napkin to cover before dessert/pudding; wine, water and food was not served or cleared from the correct side of each person; when questions were asked, we either received no answer or a rude one. Very disappointing.

Well worth going to. An excellent lunch in a very beautiful and tranquil location. Not cheap, but worth the money.

Positive: location is lovely, near nice walking pathways. Nice room. Nice grounds. The housekeeping staff were pleasant. Negative: can hear staff in the kitchen complaining that diners are ‘still’ in the dining area at the ghastly hour or 9 PM, well, dining. Wait staff not knowledgeable of wine they offer. Restaurant staff does not pay attention to details. At all. Very poor selection of teas.

We were lucky to experince a truely wonderful meal here a few days ago. The food was absolutley delicious. Every course was so interesting and tasty including the extra pre dinner nibbles. All the servive was without fault but Tegan went out of her way to make sure we had a special evening. No idea why they do not have a Michelin star !

Beautiful experience. The food, service and location were excellent. I’ll recommend the manor and dinner to friends.

Beautiful place. Staff lovely and friendly. Afternoon Tea was exceptional. Highly recommended. Third time we have visited.

Had a 3 course lunch menu, got canapes and bread also which was delicious. Good value for money. Beautiful gardens also

We were looked after from the moment we arrived nothing was too much trouble for the wonderful staff. We enjoyed the most delicious scones and tea and regretted not booking a table for dinner (we had arranged to meet friends for dinner nearby). The breakfast was delicious, freshly cooked and delivered with a smile. Our room was delightful - spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. There was a wonderful air of 'calm' in the hotel. Although we were only there for a night we felt we had been able to relax and enjoy this unique and wonderful hotel. We would definitely recommend it and look forward to our next stay.

One arrives at this magical location and experiences a quiet elegance and beautiful, traditional British environment. This is exactly why I travel to England, to feel the loveliness of the architecture, art and service of the country. Champagne and then dinner were exquisite. The chef’s offerings with Champagne delighted the palate. Dinner with a delicate French Chablis was memorable. Poached Lobster with gooseberry, hazelnut and elderflower was a chilled delight, the pan fried sea bass with fennel, red peppers and crab was wonderful and the cherry soufflé was perfect. From our table we saw the beautiful sunset through the dining room windows. Buckland Manor is a treasure!

Fabulous afternoon tea. Great food and service in beautiful setting. Range of sandwiches, sweets and freshly baked scones.

The venue and staff were fantastic, very attentive and accommodating for a friends birthday celebration. We had a lovely, tasty, fresh afternoon tea and when asked if we would like a glass of fizz to go with the afternoon tea, of course we agreed! When looking at the menu, it was not made clear that *each* glass of fizz was provided at £35 extra! I thought this to be a little too excessive as the cost of the one glass of fizz, was the same price as afternoon tea for one person! It was a shame as it left a 'bad taste' in the mouth after such fabulous food and refreshingly good service.

Excellent Sunday lunch service spot on and food excellent as good as any London restaurant setting great would definitely come again

We were looking for a special location for my wife and I to celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary, and the Buckland Hotel proved to be just the right experience. Every aspect from the first greeting by the staff to the delightfully relaxed atmosphere in the dining room, and an excellent lunch menu. met all our expectations and more. Small touches by the staff to acknowledge the anniversary were very much appreciated. Definitely a hotel for a special occasion. .

Excellent afternoon tea with sunshine on the terrace overlooking the manicured grounds. Blue sky, green grass and the gentle sound of bird song. The selection of food was first class and the quality was excellent. On par with the Savoy. The service was attentive without being pushy. A lovely relaxing way to spend an afternoon. My wife and I are already planning another visit.

Excellent afternoon tea we have been many times and this afternoon tea is one of the best we have ever had. It is also very good value at £35 , in the most wonderful setting of buckland manor. The staff are very efficient and super friendly, we will be back many times

Very disappointing meal. Everything about it was wrong. Canapés were stale tasting and not nice. First courses of meal were tiny, dull and with a flavour that spoke of being a long time frozen. Amuse Bouche challenging, plain nasty, unappealing flavours, main course meagre, frozen tasting, draped with soggy uncuttable pac Choi and a tiny sprig of tooth-squeaking broccoli. My partner had barely any accompanying veg with his meal of lamb, but a plate smeared with some “ goop” as he called it. Flavour unidentifiable. This is a man who loves food and eating and usually finds everything yummy. Chose cheeses for desert as puddings sounded and looked poor. No nice aromas I the room or on the plates. Dead, frozen ingredients, poorly executed meal. The most expensive truly awful meal we have ever had. No mention of origin of ingredients anywhere. Had a bar meal the next day of “ catch of the day” which consisted of musty old tasting ex-frozen fish with rubbery skin, the same as my evening meal the day before. Neither were fresh or original in any way. And a very expensive meal overall yet again. Manifestly had not been “caught” for a very very long time I would hazard a guess. A historical catch no doubt, “the day” being some time long ago.

Excellent dining off the beaten path. Staff was helpful in getting us a taxi back to our cottage. Great wine options. Formal dress needed, so plan accordingly. Come in advance to walk the garden area. Not sure I would return for dinner but would definitely eat here again if I was staying on property.

Beautiful venue great service and the food first class Attention to detail is first class Would highly recommend

Detoured off our walk along the Cotswold Way based on an enthusiastic recommendation from fellow hiking passersby, and so glad we did. Within minutes the staff had set up tea and coffee service in the garden patio for us, along with scones - they even...

My girlfriend and I came here for a country afternoon tea and we weren't disappointed. We enjoyed every moment here. The tea selection was great, the food delicious, and the service 5 stars. The team at the Buckland Manor is amazing and made my girlfriend's birthday truly special.

My girlfriend and I come here to celebrate her birthday with an afternoon tea, the scenery is gorgeous as well as the tea selection. The food was delicious and the team was the best and incredibly thoughtful. They made it so special for my girlfriend...

Superb Sunday lunch and thoroughly enjoyable. We went with high expectations and they were met by first class food, service and very able staff. Country house dining at its best!

We had a three course meal in Buckland manor restaurant. From the outset we were greeted with great hospitality. The service was excellent, and the scenery was outstanding.The attention to detail was faultless. Thanks for making my husbands birthday a very special memorable one.

Whole experience was excellent - personable, efficient service, beautiful food - what more can I say? When next in the area will most certainly visit.

Excellent service with great staff !! Food was also very good. We also enjoyed the space between tables. Thanks Derek & Lynn 👍👍

My financial advisor and I had an excellent lunch on Monday. I have difficulty walking and we were met at the door by a very nice young man who then showed us into the lounge and seated us comfortably before informing the chef of our...

Beautiful surroundings and staff could not have been more attentive. The afternoon tea was an experience to remember. Lovely cakes, sandwiches and cream teas. Thank you to all concerned.

Buckland Manor is a delightful small hotel in the middle of the countryside. We were made welcome from the moment we arrived. This is a proper fine dining experience. Although the food falls a little short of Michelin star status the offering is very much...

Excellent all around: staff, service, food, ambiance, pre-dinner cocktails and hors d'oeurves... The duck was excellent as well as the cod. The service top notch too. The only negative is that the menu doesn't change day to day, i.e., if you are staying at the...

Had Sunday lunch, didn't stay overnight.

My daughter and I had a wonderful, relaxing afternoon tea at Buckland Manor. The tea included hot savoury items as well a selection of sandwiches, fresh scones and cakes. We spent a couple of hours catching up in the very comfortable lounge (unfortunately the weather...

Went to Buckland for a birthday meal while visiting the surrounding area. Food was amazing. Service was excellent. Staff incredibly friendly. The Happy Biryhday petit fours were a beautiful touch.

Absolutely divine <3 We had the monkfish, lamb and the chocolate delice and rhubarb crumble. Very well looked after and private. Intimate and romantic in a beautiful setting.

I “only” booked a high tea for 4 people @ nr £40 pp on 30th April a BIRTHDAY TREAT ! That was 6 weeks ago saying the guest would bring their (baby) a small dog, they said no problem its ok. We will ring you...

Room was beautiful with high quality interior furnishings and the bed was comfortable. Service was friendly. It’s location was good for exploring other villages in the Cotswold.

I always take friends from abroad to your restaurant for the service, the quality of the food and beauty of the gardens. All them simply loved the place.

Afternoon Tea with the family. Buckland could have done more, very professional service, met all of our needs and oh yes the food was fantastic.

Our first experience of a meal at Buckland Manor. Firstly all staff were attentive and helpful. They all made you feel comfortable, and that nothing would be too much trouble. We went for Sunday Lunch and from start to finish (canopes, starter, main, dessert and...

The evening was picture perfect. The grounds are spectacular and the atmosphere was British elegant, yet the service was relaxed, fun, and engaging. The food from the h'ors d'oeuvres served in the sitting room to the between and after-meal accompaniments were spectacular little gifts from...

Enjoyed a lovely afternoon tea for my wife's birthday with my brother and sister-in-law. Buckland Manor is a beautiful building with lovely gardens. We were fortunate that the weather was kind and we are able to enjoy afternoon tea outside. Lovely savoury treats, a nice...

A place from 14th century! The building was stunning. And the service was amazing too. Recommended 👍🏻👍🏻

We love this hotel. It is beautiful without being stuffy and sits in lovely grounds. The staff are friendly and efficient and service in the restaurant is impeccable. Only criticism is that, although the food is very good and imaginative, there’s not very much of...

Comida muy mediocre y servicio pésimo. Hicimos reserva porque pensamos que iba a ser muy buen restaurante ya que era...

Extremely nice overnight stay with tasty evening meal in quiet relaxing surroundings after enjoying pre dinner drinks . Especially delicious Raspberry Soufflé for desert - probably the best I’ve ever had ! Buckland village is a delight with plenty of good walks weather permitting .

We went for afternoon tea for my in-laws 60th wedding anniversary all food was amazing. Was not told we had to pay service charge which was a extra £14

The hotel was everything we were expecting and much more! The afternoon tea was of a very high quality and very tasty. The room was of a high standard, even though we had chosen a small room. The staff were amazing, helpful and friendly. The service was very high quality, nothing was too much trouble, the attention to detail was second to none. We were made to feel most welcome. We would love to return at some point.

Very disappointing meal Duck very tough and offered alternative of lamb which was even worse. Did get a reduction on bill to cover this but not really the point. Lack of attention, had to find waiter for wine and to settle bill despite restaurant less...

Champagne afternoon tea for a birthday treat. Excellent service, best table in the lounge in front of a roaring fire. The most wonderful tea with hot savouries, delicious sandwiches, delicate and flavour packed little cakes and then light, freshly baked scones. They even made a...

Although we are reasonably frequent diners, this was the first time we'd had the pleasure of tea at Buckland Manor. What a treat this was. Clare and the chef went above and beyond to ensure cream-free delicacies due to my intolerance. Savory and sweet, every...

Second visit all in all very good beautiful building staff very good level of service Sunday lunch served on a hot plate all very tasty and fresh I do not get the roasted onions in a Yorkshire or the seed on top of the vegetables...

Multiple visits over the years and never disappointed. Excellent food with attentive service. Delightful reception rooms for drinks etc. Best part is the lovely, quiet dining room with well spaced tables and no music (a rarity these days). All dietary requirements accommodated with delicious alternatives...

Excellent place for lunch. Service and presentation impeccable. Good quality food and nicely cooked. We enjoyed the snacks before the meal and there is an extensive drinks menu. We have also been here twice for afternoon tea in the past and can highly recommend it....

An excellent lunch, food wonderful, beautifully served in quiet and dignified manner. We love this hotel and often visit with friends.

I cannot praise their customer service highly enough. Couple this with delicious food and a delightful ambience - what more could one wish for!

Superb, professional service with an interesting and innovative menu. Very fine cooking on display. Highly recommended.

We have stayed at Buckland on several occasions previously and it has always been exemplary in all respects.

Charming grounds and lounge area. Service polite and efficient. Had light bite salads for lunch, 2 x Earthy Nutty Crunchy described as goat's cheese, marinated artichoke and seeds. Was in fact a bowl full of rocket in dressing, about 1 level table spoon of goat's...

We visited here for an afternoon tea. The service was good, everyone was very friendly and welcoming. The afternoon tea was so lovely, the scones were amazing & the cakes delicious. I would definitely recommend.

A beautiful location and excellent dinner service. The service from the team was attentive and enthusiastic from start to finish and the food was of excellent quality albeit small portions but this is to be expected. I would most likely visit again.

Came just for afternoon tea. Very attentive and professional staff! Delicious food- plenty of it. A real treat! Would thoroughly recommend this delightful venue!

An interesting and original menu, bordering on the quirky - for instance ‘pork nose to tail’ containing several delicious different cuts of pork but no nose or tail. Everything beautifully presented, interesting flavour combinations, portion size just right and service immaculate. A wine list ranging...

The most beautiful setting with welcoming staff. So many generous tasters before we started our meal, which were served in the bar before going into the elegant dining room. We had the 3 course lunch menu, I have been lucky enough to enjoy many meals...

Fantastic stay and dining in this little corner of the cotswold. Noting too much trouble. Food is out of this world. Perfect grey goose martini and delish nibbles. Comfiest bed I've had in a hotel for years. Absolutely smashing

Everything was as expected, excellent service and food, plus like minded fellow guests. We have had excellent afternoon teas here previously and will return for special occasions. Great location.

My mother and I experienced such a lovely afternoon tea service at Buckland Manor in December '22. A warm welcome, an absolutely stunning lounge to sit in with a roaring fire, excellent service and the food was superb. The experience was simply perfect!

Came here for afternoon tea. The service is 5 star. Sandwiches,tea and cakes were all excellent but the scones were a massive let down, very dry and only a few pieces of fruit plus only a small pot of cream. But the rest of the...

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. Also, surprisingly different from all other afternoon tea places, the menu stated an additional tea would be an additional cost. 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.

Real high class Fine Dining with the excellent standards of conduct and service.

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...

Absolutely perfect as always. This is one of our Christmas traditions to have tea with our children at Buckland Manor a weekend or two before 25th. We book early for 2.30pm so we can have a long, leisurely tea then drive home through Broadway which...

Fabulous afternoon tea. Very good combination of savoury and sweet treats. The scones were exceptional. The lounge area was cosy with an open fire and beautiful Xmas decorations. This was a great festive treat.

Buckland Manor holds a special place in our hearts because it was where we held our Wedding Breakfast five years ago. We've been back many times since. The food, service, and ambience never disappoint. Only the seasons change and, with them, the glorious setting. On...

We enjoyed a champagne tea with you, the welcome and service was outstanding, the quality of the tea excellent, all enjoyed in incredible surroundings with roaring log fires and beautiful Christmas decorations adorning the hotel, magnified by the stunning views of the snow covered gardens....

We visited Buckland Manor for a belated birthday Sunday lunch and it didn’t disappoint. A lunch here is an experience so allow circa 2 hours to get maximum enjoyment from your visit. It starts with the sincere welcome that you receive on your arrival, followed...

Excellent non discreet service , super food , quality wine, and a lovely country house hotel . Thank you all so much .

Just a fabulous place for afternoon tea, the best in the Cotswolds. Fabulous service from an expert team, full afternoon tea (including some new dishes) with the best tea selection. Try the milk oolong , very unique. Perfect setting and very good value

Lovely setting , beautiful and comfortable hotel - excellent afternoon tea by roaring fire. Fantastic service

We go Buckland for their festive menu every year and it doesn’t disappoint. Menu was great and the meal itself was fantastic. Great flavours and cooking.professional friendly service. However we had to go early this year due to other arrangements and went on the first...

Beautiful location, excellent service, very limited menu but what we ordered was cooked to perfection.....completely spoilt by a ridiculously extensive and ridiculously overpriced wine list.

This would have been a great visit had it not been for the frankly very average service which unfortunately spoilt the meal. We have been many times over the years and we have noticed a gradual decline in service since we started going. It’s not...

This restaurant is praised by many. It is supposed to be one of the finest hotels in the Cotswolds. But helas, what was offered for dinner on a Sunday evening was certainly not what we expected from a Michelin applauded Relais & Chateau Restaurant. May...

I had booked for a celebratory birthday lunch for 4 people. We were welcomed and shown into a very comfortable lounge for pre lunch drinks and to peruse the lunch menu. The lunch menu is not extensive, but adequate and has a fixed food menu...

Lovely surroundings, excellent service, good food...what more can you want! We will return perhaps to explore and sit in the wonderful gardens.

Beautiful surroundings, attentive staff, wonderful selection of teas to choose from. The full Afternoon Tea offered an extensive selection of tasty treats. Could you choose a favourite it was all top class. A great place to go with good friends and enjoy each other’s company....
