Bybrook Restaurant - Manor House Hotel in Wiltshire

My wife and I came during the day while visiting Castle Comb and had a fantastic experience. The staff when out of their way to be friendly and engaging. We were struggling to get a taxi and the wonderful woman at reception called about 10 numbers to find us one. It was such a positive experience and I hope to come back one day.

Magnificent mansion, magnificent estate and superb room. In terms of quality, cleanliness of the infrastructure, nothing to complain about, everything is perfect, even more than perfect. A very nice touch in the room for my birthday with a bottle of champagne and a box of chocolates. The breakfast is excellent, high quality and gargantuan. The bartender is also very professional, helpful and pleasant. On the other hand, the quality of reception and check-out could be improved. The welcome is not the warmest although professional. The staff at breakfast are very professional. However, one person was really very cold, bordering on unpleasant. For the quality and price of the hotel's services, it's a shame. The biggest disappointment was not being able to purchase the large Lionel the lion soft toy, which is in all the rooms and, which is in all the photos of the hotel. There's even a message attached to his neck, stating that he's for sale at the front desk. However, at reception, we are told that this is not possible, that only the intermediate format remains. When you advertise everywhere, when you promise your child to "adopt" him, and in the end, there are none left or none, I find it borderline unprofessional. Especially when you pay £600 for a night, the least you can do is make sure you find a solution for the customer

Ate here on a Sunday evening, the Restaurant is attached to a beautiful country manor style hotel and has been refurbished to give a much more contemporary feel, stripped back table settings, lots of greenery, soft lighting a beautiful wine wall and an understated elegance that has been well thought through, tables are nicely spaced and are a really good size. Had a drink in the bar then quickly through to the Restaurant, staff were friendly, attentive, well trained and happy to engage, Marius the wine waiter was superb. Menu is tasting only, which i love, about ten courses in all, food was absolutely incredible, appears quite stripped back in style, but under that it's beautifully crafted, very technical, extremely well balanced and created witha real understanding of how a tasting menu should be constructed, absoultely fantastic, highlights were the Trout, Apple and Barkham blue, chocolate fig and blackberry and the Lobster, but everything i ate was superb, in short one of the best meals iv'e ever eaten, had the wine flight to match and this was superb as well. Not cheap, but at this level of skill and the work that goes into the construction of the food worth every penny, it's recently been awarded 4 AA rosettes, and would not be surprised at all if a second star came it's way, up there with the best one stars for sure. go, you will not be disappointed

For context, this review has been written whilst considering the menu cost £145 each, with a mocktail costing £12 and an extra cheese course costing £15 and a 13.5% service charge, coming in at £380 for two people who didn’t drink alcohol. This is very expensive, and therefore expectations were set accordingly. This is more expensive than a trip to Le Gavroche in 2023 and considerably more than Salt in Stratford upon Avon in 2022, both of which were better quality overall than this experience. To start, the service was brilliant. The staff were very friendly, attentive, catered to our dietary requirements and went to a lot of trouble. They couldn’t have done any more - thank you very much. The tasting menu consisted of 7 savoury dishes and 2 sweet dishes, with an extra “sweet” dish of cheese and apple pie (which I would thoroughly recommend). There were some real gems in here, specifically the Lincolnshire poacher and also the brioche and the raspberry dessert. However, all the savoury dishes were very small, but the sweet dishes quite substantial, which made the balance of the menu feel a bit “off”. I almost wished they had reduced the number of dishes but made the portions more fulfilling. A lot of the dishes were finished in one bite (not an exaggeration). In terms of flavour, we felt that there was a bit of an over repetition of flavours, for example, two dishes in a row used truffle and mushroom, which dominated, and other dishes still featured them, hence the comment on being imbalanced. The pastry also felt fairly average. This is not to say the food is bad, not at all. As we said, some dishes and flavours were very good, but when you pay this much, you expect the meal to be exceptional, and it was not. Wouldn’t visit again, but glad we did.

Really enjoyed a special evening and the tasting menu. All courses looked beautiful and were presented by knowledgeable staff. The whole team was great - helpful, kind and sociable. They went above and beyond for us - especially Dorian who drove us home after no taxis would come to pick us up. Such service and care!!! Thank you so much for a wonderful evening and getting us home safely, Dorian!!!

It’s the first time back since 2018 and from reading some reviews here wasn’t sure if we’d return and be disappointed as we’ve only ever know it to be a great hotel. I’ve just returned and found it to be a fantastic place - I found the service levels good and a bit less formal than it used to be but in a positive way. I think the world has moved on from the stiff English approach - I appreciate some may be concerned by that but not me. The hotel has taken over the local pub and offers a breadth of eating options. We had wonderful food, drinks and highly recommend.

Excellent service from all staff. A complete credit to the venue.

What a lovely place! We will definitely return ✌️The staff are super nice, friendly and welcoming. The staff in the breakfast restaurant treat you with warmth and make you feel special. They are patient with kids, and spend time in talking to them. The hotel is strongly recommended to families with small kids, very spacious lawn indeed. The room is beautiful with large bathroom, and splendid wall paper. You will really feel nothing is bothering you when you are here. On top of the amazing hotel itself, the Castle Inn restaurant is amazingly good. We had dinner there every night, 3 nights in a row, very satisfied with food and service every time.

First 5 star hotel without minibar and no daily water refill. Third night and we got only two small bottles of still water. Breakfast... Extremely on a slow side and you have to book it. What?! Michelin restaurant is okay, the tasting menu does have interesting positions but it comes with 7x markup on wine list. Absolute madness, like second wine of montrose for like 180 pounds. The second michelin (sister restaurant) - "castle in" is 100% to avoid. You will wait one hour for your venison that is 3 sashimi style pieces that weigh 60 grams. Food to share doesn't come with plates. Feels like you are just being fed. Saint emilion wine is served warm like your afternoon tea. Beautiful scenary, otherwise, but will never ever come back or recommend it. Can't wait to leave tomorrow.

This place is beyond beautiful & cozy! We are already planning a return trip with the family!

Our first time visiting The Manor House but we have been to other Exclusive Collection Hotels many times. As always these hotels never fail to disappoint and neither did The Manor House. Absolutely immaculate everywhere and such a comfortable stay. We visited for our second anniversary as we got married at their sister hotel Pennyhill Park and knew The Manor House would be great if Pennyhill was anything to go by. Highly recommend the Manor House and what a gem of a location it is in too. We always leave feeling thoroughly looked after and refreshed.

As soon as you get there, you’ll feel like you’re part of a fairy tale. The atmosphere is magical. Food is delicious and the dining room is spacious and very quiet. The hotel is very much kid friendly and the space outside is nothing but enchanting.

Great location to stop by and lose track of time, Very peaceful atmosphere, Big chess board and croquet and a great little pub inside

Castle Combe is one of my favourite place for walk. Stop for a cup of tea at The Manor House. The staff members are so friendly and had good time with friends there.

Amazing and beautiful place. Joining wedding ceremony and meals were nice. Atmosphere is fantastic!

Idyllic Cotswold Village of Coombe unfortunately spoiled by hundreds of tourists walking around the hotel grounds and picnicking on the grass by the river. Staff were outstanding food is outstanding as as the hotel and rooms

Had to order room service for dinner every day during my stay (7 nights) and just once did they bring exactly what I ordered the way I ordered it. Such a shame.

Outstanding. We took my wife for Mother’s Day, the family of four loved every part of the experience. Wonderful engaging and tentative staff, a brilliant taster menu and very generous pairing wines in a beautiful restaurant. I can’t recommend it enough and we’ll certainly return.

I am a big fan of tasting menus. I specifically choose places to stay based on whether they offer them. I really wanted Bybrook to be amazing. I was alone. I had played a great golf course at the Manor House Golf Club that day and I was staying overnight. So I wanted to go in deep on a tasting menu and wine flight. The result was…meh. Harsh? Maybe. But this is a place charging £145 for 7 courses - all of which, by the way, are quite small - and £90 for what turned out to be 5 small glasses of wine. These are prices that would make a London Michelin star restaurant blush. It’s £235 per person in a hotel that charges around £405 per night for an above average luxury room. That ratio is bonkers. The flavours are apt in most dishes. But it is mouthfuls of quite good food, that is also quite small. Every time you finish something in one mouthful you are cognisant of the “£145 BYBROOK NEW PRICE.” The wine selection is ok, but it’s nothing world beating. There are no top tier wines. And £90 feels very expensive for an indifferent Albarino, a bit of Chablis, a few sips of good orange wine, a glug of Ok-ish Salento and a pleasant but predictable Royal Tokaji. Maybe the “New Price” hasn’t come with an accompanying “New Value.”

Fabulous...a gem of a Hotel in a stunning setting in a historic village untouched by modernisation. So many are often ruined by these planning baffoons but this takes you back to simpler times. The Hotel is an integrated part of the village and has that air about it as you traverse the walkways. Staff very good and the chef and his team in the restaurant well deserved of their Michelin star as the tasting menu was as good as any we have tried including the 3 Michelin star restaurants we have eaten in...look forward to revisiting again soon...just perfect.

Have stayed at the hotel periodically over last 40 years and I'm glad to say that the maintenance of the property and standard of service have remained impeccable. Always a pleasure to spend time here.

My expectations were admittedly high but I left wishing I’d spent far less to eat far better. The servers and sommelier were lovely but we were also ignored for the first 35 minutes after we were sat - for context, they were quite busy but we’d also had this reservation for weeks so it felt like poor planning either way. Wine pairing was fantastic. Food was so beautiful but just ok flavor-wise, which I don’t say lightly. We left feeling both hungry and overall disappointed. For the record, we are staying at the hotel which is gorgeous and the staff are so lovely. So, we’ll certainly be back to stay but won’t eat dinner at the restaurant again.

What a fabulous experience my husband and I had at this beautiful place. We both had the 7 course tasting menu - I had the vegetarian one and requested not to have mushrooms and they couldn't have been more accommodating. Every course we had was absolutely delicious and the presentation was incredible. Every member of staff was charming and friendly and we honestly could not fault anything. Fantastic choice of wine too. It certainly was not cheap, but for a special occasion, I highly recommend it.

Recently updated restaurant is excellent and food is worthy of its Michelin star rating. We stayed the night and had a great experience. Staff great and venue is situated in lovely village.

Ristorante sito all’interno del “Manor house” posto incredibilmente bello dove trascorrere almeno una notte. La cena è stata un piacevole viaggio alla scoperta di nuovi sapori accompagnati da ottimo vino gradevole la presenza di Andrea ottimo sommelier. Servizio eccellente e bella atmosfera. Consigliato

The seven course taster menu, eight courses including the Chef’s amuse bouche, is understandably a hefty £110 a head and with drinks no change out of £300 for two. Honestly, and as a treat, worth every penny. We started with a couple of on-point cocktails in the sumptuous Gin bar, a perfect Lemon (cello) Sherbert and Amaretto Sour before we were guided through to the main event. The restaurant itself is a delight and easily copes with it’s well spaced out 50 to 60 covers. Staff to customer ratios are high and service was excellent. No expense has been spared on the décor which balances top end, fine dining with casual informality. No need for unnecessary clinical, razor ironed white linen, silly cloches and suppressed whispering; this place was full to the rafters with elegant ease creating a confident and convivial hub. Being a nosy git I was intrigued by the crockery (I know sad) but truthfully the most tactile and design triumph plates and bowls I have ever eaten off. Sourced by JL Coquet in Limoges, France, my mate Google informed that each piece was a mere £100 plus a piece. Little wonder the waiting staff were clinging on for dear life otherwise could be an expensive slip. I had the full monte (fish and meat) menu whilst the blonde had veggie options as she isn’t a fan of anything fishy. Each course was a Tate Gallery artistic joy and has us both bereft of superlatives which extended our wonderment and appreciation through to the “proof of the pudding” the taste. There’s no way I’m going to cover all eight courses but they all ranged from very good to excellent to out of this world. Suffice to say my stand outs were the Chalk stream trout with oyster, wasabi and roe; Peterhead Cod with coastal herbs and sea weed butter and Coconut with mango, passion fruit and kaffir lime. She particularly enjoyed the laminated (sic) Brioche with cultured butter and Kohlrabi, celeriac and Wiltshire truffle. Look the bottom line is that these dishes are not for the unadventurous nor the faint hearted and nor are they for anyone who places high perceived value on quantity. That’s why Britain has Harvesters and Wetherspoons. A couple of pre-dinner cocktails, two eight course taster meals, a bottle of Italian Pinot Grigio and a bottle of still water all came in at £333 including 12.5.% service.

We treated ourselves to celebrate our anniversary and have no regrets. The tasting menu was delicious, wine was lovely, service was excellent; attentive but not intrusive, beautiful setting. We especially enjoyed the trout, the mains, pre-dessert and dessert, oh and the petit fours (!). Thank you for a wonderful evening.

The Manor House hotel restaurant is Michelin star restaurant serving excellent food in an unpretentious atmosphere. The food was artfully presented, but it was clear flavors were the priority. The seven course fixed price (£145 pp) dinner did not seem like to much food and was worth the price. It was the best good we had in our fifteen day Cotswolds journey.

The Bybrook Restaurant at the Manor was a must visit while we were holidaying in the area. There is nothing quite like the experience of a Michelin starred restaurant and the creations of the chef behind the menu. The Bybrook restaurant is a lovely setting and the room is light, airy and of course historically of great interest. The taster menu seems to be the order of the day for dinner service so we selected this for both of us. At £280 for two without wine, it was certainly not cheap, but as a Michelin starred meal was it worth it?....read on! The menu was super interesting and in some courses undersold on the paper description. The food was served exquisitely and the waiting staff were both knowledgeable and accommodating when it came to questions about the dish being served. It's always a real plus to have this background knowledge available when you want to enquire about the dish and everything about the service from all concerned was frankly impeccable. The food itself was all beautifully prepared and delivered. I was slightly disappointed with the lamb of the main course, while the meat was beautiful and cooked to perfection, it was the size of two first class stamps once the fat had been trimmed off (I choose not to eat even rendered fat for health reasons) - too small even for a main course of a taster menu. Otherwise the food was a real treat to enjoy and experience the creativity of an excellent chef, beginning to end. So - why not 5 stars? Three simple reasons... 1. The lamb on the main dish was just too small, it left a lot to be desired despite in and of itself being amazing. 2. All the courses were excellent but after seven courses we had to go out later that evening and buy some more food, it simply didn't fill us up. You might say "well it was a taster menu after all!" - we've had other taster menus and while each individual dish is small I've never felt anything other than full after the whole menu. 3. This is the big one for me...I was ill two days before and as this is a set taster menu run every evening we asked about cancelling and re-arranging expecting no issues. We were told that we could cancel but would be subject to the FULL cost of the menu as a cancellation fee - all £280 of it. Given the menu is the same day in, day out, this seemed to be an overly aggressive and inflexible cancellation policy/approach and one I haven't experienced anywhere else with this severity of impact and I am including Michelin starred restaurants here. I do not believe that two people moving their booking over 48 hours before it was scheduled could not be accommodated without impact. If the kitchen is being run on such tight tolerances that this cannot be accommodated for a very real reason for the clients, something is wrong! For that last reason alone, I would not book the Bybrook again. There are many completely valid reasons in this age of living with Covid alone that someone may not be able to attend 72-48 hours beforehand and charging the full amount as a cancellation fee feels frankly like curmudgeonly highway robbery. However good the food and service was, that % risk of losing that sum of money through no fault of your own does not on balance seem worth it and that is a real shame for the talented chef and front of house staff who otherwise delivered an excellent product and service.

We stayed at The Manor House for our wedding anniversary and had the tasting menu at Bybrooks one evening to celebrate. The service was excellent and it was busy so the atmosphere was good. Some of the courses were excellent, especially the crab, shame it was one mouthful! We were ok with the taster size (except the main) but if you have a big appetite it might be an issue! The reason for giving 4 stars not 5 are that a couple of the courses were very disappointing, the brioche was messy to eat and greasy and didn't add anything flavour wise. There were only 2 choices for the "main" lamb or beef and as I'd had a lovely steak at The Castle Inn the night before I didn't want red meat again! They offered me a mushroom risotto instead which was tasty but I could have had that anywhere! The most disappointing though was my husband's lamb dish which was tiny and not very tender or melt in the mouth like we felt it should have been! As it was a special occasion he didn't want to send it back and make a fuss. Overall we enjoyed the experience but left feeling a bit underwhelmed when we should have been saying wow that was amazing for the money we spent!

The tasting menu at Bybrook Restaurant is a carefully curated selection of dishes that showcase the best of the restaurant's cuisine. From delicate and perfectly cooked seafood to hearty and comforting meat dishes, each course is a revelation of flavor and texture. The dishes are beautifully presented and are accompanied by expertly chosen pairings that enhance and complement the flavors of each dish. Marius, the sommelier, has put together a truly exceptional selection of wines and other beverages that perfectly complement each course of the menu. From crisp and refreshing white wines to bold and complex reds, each wine is chosen to highlight and enhance the flavors of the dish it's paired with. The service throughout the meal is impeccable, with attentive and knowledgeable staff who are happy to answer any questions you may have about the dishes and pairings (a big thank you to Raluca as well for explaining in detail each dish). The ambiance of the restaurant is warm and inviting, making it the perfect setting for a special occasion or simply a night out to remember in magic Castle Combe.

This is our first visit since the restaurant has been given its latest facelift and we loved the fresh modern new look! The colour scheme is excellent and the whole atmosphere is much lighter. We were here with friends to celebrate my birthday and the staff were attentive but not overbearing throughout the evening bringing each dish at just the right time we did not feel rushed at all. The food throughout the evening was delicious and very appealing to the eye and I don't have words to describe just how good it was so I will leave that to the attached pictures! Rob Potter is clearly still very much on top of his game and we will definitely be back!

My husband and I decided to spend our U.S. Thanksgiving holiday in Castle Combe. We have fantastic restaurants in our Scottsdale area in the U.S. and are very experienced travelers so we have very high standards particularly with regard to dining. Our evening at Bybrook was outstanding. We can’t recommend it enough…the creative tastings executed to perfection with flawless service in the beautiful historic manor house was an awesome experience. We will return to Bybrook for dinner when we return to the Cotswalds. Recommendation: arrive an hour early and have cocktails in one of the little lounge areas in the hotel — magic….or the beautiful bar.

This is the second year running that we have visited The Manor and The Bybrook restaurant for a pre Christmas treat. We enjoyed our stay but the Bybrook did let itself down on two counts. Firstly, the tasting menu servings were way, way too small - Michelin starred or not. Also, to serve a brioche as a course - yes it was simply a brioche (4 of us checked and double checked) was not in the spirit of a course in any restaurant. We felt a tad disappointed and cheated. A shame as last years meal was 100% better. After a team talk at breakfast (very nice btw), we agreed to give next year a miss try elsewhere.

We were really looking forward to eating at this restaurant only to be told there is only a tasting menu, if i am paying £110 per person i want to choose items of a menu, not happy.

A perfect dinner experience. Every dish was flawless. My husband loved the wine pairing. Service was lovely as well. Overall this was an experience we would love to repeat.

The food was lovely bar one course..luckily my wife hadnt been drinking so she spotted a huge mistake on the bill and I mean huge mistake..lovely food just keep an eye on what your spending and make sure you check the bill.

Fine food, service, and atmosphere for Sunday brunch in a very beautiful hotel in a lovely Castle Combe town. We came in by chance and did not regret. Recommended!

This was the best meal ever. Exquisite flavours and presentation with friendly knowledgeable service.

Absolutely superb. Faultless service and food to die for. And the set price Sunday lunch menu has to be the bargain of the century considering it has a Michelin star.

My wife and I visited recently for a pre-Christmas meal. We’d never been before but had heard great things about the food and weren’t disappointed. We booked online - very easy to do - and although it seemed like most of the guests were actually staying in the hotel (we weren’t) we were still welcomed by the staff. The food was excellent, and explained well by the serving team. The sommelier picked some great wines to compliment the different flavours and coffee was served in front of an open fire in one of the more relaxed areas which a house this old benefits from. We’ll definitely visit again.

-Pleasant tasting menu at Bybrook Restaurant, fresh and mostly locally sourced ingredients -Beef main, salmon starter and pre dessert mango dishes were the highlights -sommelier was very knowledgeable and provided a nice white wine recommendation -friendly service -decoration is classic however could be more interesting

A treat from my lovely wife, Fi, for my 60th birthday! Great welcome. Great ranhe of non-alcoholic spirits, cocktails and beers. Even had a non-alcoholic wine. Food superb (could have done with more of the main course though!). Attentive, friendly staff. A very special evening.

Accommodation and food were lovely. Staff thoroughly professional and 'human'! No complaints at all.

Cena muy agradable y los vinos para acompañar la comida fueron muy bien elegidos. Preciosas vistas desde el comedor. Personal muy atento. El menú de degustación estaba lleno de sabores maravillosos. El desayuno en esta habitación era excelente, con una selección de muchas frutas y yogures. Encantadores salchichas y tocino. El almuerzo del domingo estaba completo, por lo que es necesario hacer una reserva anticipada.

Outstanding service combined with a tremendous menu producing great food. A thoroughly enjoyable lunch; thank you

Afternoon tea in the yard was amazing although it was windy. The food was nice but the service was slow & we did have little problem with the receptionest

We had a 3 course menu for £ 75,00 p.p. The food was delicious, the service was great, wine was very good. We've eaten in various Michelin restaurants, but find this one a bit too standard and nothing exiting...no extra's in between the meal..That was for me the reason to call it expensive and also because of the iny weenie tiny portions..sorry guys..it's 2019. Even the starter was 1 scallop divided in two parts...altough it was very yummie. Maincourse was beef...think it was 50 grams and the bits to it were up to 'hobbit'-size.

Mi otra mitad y yo la comimos como parte de la cena bed and breakfast en Manor House. Nos sentamos a nuestra mesa en un suntuoso comedor que tenía la sensación de un salón de banquetes medieval.

Yes it is expensive staying at the Manor House Hotel and dining in the Bybrook restaurant, but if you get quality food cooked and presented superbly with knowledgeable staff, what more can you want. We chose the tasting menu and it lasted three hours yet it only seemed like one hour, such were the interesting dishes. Will come again, but it has to be a special occasion.

Stayed and eaten here many times. This visit was a uncomfortable experience. Arrived for our 13:15 Sunday lunch 20 mins early for a G&T; in the bar. Barman seemed a little put out to see us in his empty bar and rather disappointed that we had a reservation for lunch and would have to serve us. Had hoped to get our driver a sandwich while we had a drink but barman was obviously very put out at this request and only conceded after a meeting with the chef to see if the could manage a ham sandwich (for something like £11). We had £18 each G&T;’s while we were made to feel quite unwelcome and a nuisance. As we prepared to go into lunch a request to put our bill on our lunch bill was refused (why?) so we settled at bar and were charged an extra 12.5% (optional) tip on the bill. The charge didn’t correspond with the level of service or ambiance we had experienced.

I had my birthday lunch there with the family and everything was great. The building and the grounds are stunning and the food and service superb!

Cocina pobre para el nivel del hotel y para el nivel de la cuenta. Los scallops de entrantes estaban ricos. Los platos principales con raciones ridículamente pequeñas. Postres mas que evitables. Adjunto foto grosor tarta de chocolate, así eran todos los platos

Sometimes a second visit to a hotel and restaurant are a disappointment but not on this occasion. Excellent food, friendly service and helpful staff. What more could you want!

Excellent food with excellent and friendly service by the staff. Not cheap but worth it. Would recommend

Never changes , Sunday roast for the family . Quality food,great staff ,great wine { the gin selection was depleted a bit but I dont drink it much anyway :-) people playing croquet and giant chess on the lawns . Another world ! Oh take a walk around the italian gardens afterwards . welldone guys again .

What a treat! Had the tasting menu and every dish was exquisite. Beautifully presented. Full of flavour and variety and perfectly balanced. Probably the best meal I’ve ever eaten and cannot wait to go back!

three course menu ist £75.- and offers a decent choice per course. Rather small servings. Courteous and unobtrusive service, but not the fastest

I’ve reviewed the hotel separately. We had a dinner bed and breakfast package so eating here was included. This really made our visit special. Overwhelmingly my main comment is about the service. We were looked after really well in the restaurant. From Oli the Sommelier who was so friendly to Katrina and Melissa who always stopped for a short chat even when busy this friendly approach really made a great impression. Good food is important but service is our first requirement and we would always go back for service. The food was excellent- we had the tasting menu, a la carte but more impressively the chef chose our menu on our last night. Thank you. For me the best course was the halibut. It was cooked to perfection- soft and delicate and the sea vegetables were an excellent accompaniment. We enjoyed the slowness of the evening- no rush and it meant we could enjoy our wine. I hate a rushed meal. If you want rapid fire eating this is not the place to come! Again I have only one observation. For a Michelin starred restaurant I thought the wine list was a little short. I love Burgundy but the list is restricting. Notwithstanding that we had a great time. Thank You.

On perusing the menu we possibly should have expected a less impressive experience than the last time we were here, and it did turn out to be more of a safe hotel-style dinner in manner of the cooking and presentation, as well as the speed at which the courses followed one another, and the level of the front of house was not top notch. This is not to say that there weren’t some good elements, but in general we found it not exactly progressive and our overall rating was nothing like as high as before. We enjoyed the canapés, and the first course of wafer-thin and very fresh beetroot with crab and horseradish would have been better without the strange touch of lavender. The classical duck liver parfait in combination with nuts, grapes and walnut bread was pleasing, and this was followed by an uneven dish of good halibut with sea vegetables that were possibly too strong for the fish and some lovely mussels that were under-seasoned for our taste. The lamb main course was the best of the evening, the loin very tender with the proper taste and texture and enhanced with a clever touch of mint gel cubes instead of the standard sauce, the Roscoff onion was perfectly caramelised to take away any aggressiveness, and the interesting belly mince added another element. The appearance of a traditional cheese course with no choice was slightly passé, but at least it was an Alex James blue with good lavoche crackers. Opinions were divided on the passion fruit/mango palate cleanser in which the announced coconut ice had got lost. Our dessert made up for this, though, the Amalfi lemon tart with perfect tartness was as good as any we’ve had and the lovely sweet raspberries added to the enjoyment. Since the by-the-glass choice was limited we went for the wine flight, which was well selected and came at a reasonable price. Altogether a reasonable meal, although not up to the standard we had hoped for.

ネットから予約しましたースリコースデイナーです。。スタッフは親切でした。ゆっくりと食事ができてよかったです。なお、朝食も同じレストランでした。

We were invited to lunch at The Bybrook for lunch so I drove a short distance from Bath. The small roads and lanes scared the hell out of me but we got there in one piece.

We were recommended this hotel by a friend, and so glad we booked. It’s in a little idyllic Cotswold village, has a such a beautiful quaint look and feel to it. As the restaurant is highly rated we decided to book a table for our anniversary meal. We had drinks in the bar beforehand and were then shown to our table. We were first seated as it opened, by the windows of the grand dining room, the table settings were very spacious and well designed. The tables are large which is also nice rather then feeling like there’s not enough space.

Queríamos tener un almuerzo ligero o un café aquí, ya que nos alojamos aquí hace cuarenta años en nuestra noche de bodas. Debido a una reserva previa, ni siquiera se nos permitió ingresar al hotel y echar un vistazo rápido.

We had a lovely meal with close friends here, but the non-food details were problematic, so I cannot give an excellent rating.

Uno de los hoteles más hermosos en los que hemos estado. Llegamos temprano a Castle combe para explorar y pasamos un tiempo explorando el hotel y los alrededores. Hay mucho que ver La próxima vez, tenemos la intención de permanecer aquí.

Ate at the restaurant ten years ago and we recall that we had an excellent meal but age has removed the content of the meal on that occasion but it didn't matter as we had another brilliant meal this time. We have eaten at Michelin restaurants many times but here we were faced with a dilemma, there were so many dishes that whet our appetite and what we had was excellent, not over elaborate as with some restaurants but beautifully cooked and so tasty.

No se preocupe por las porciones pequeñas porque este es un restaurante con estrellas Michelin, créame, no se irá a casa con hambre. La comida aquí es absolutamente increíble con un servicio a la altura. Los alrededores son hermosos, todo es simplemente de punta, es literalmente una de las mejores comidas que he tenido en mi vida.

Cannot praise the chefs at this hotel highly enough. Beautifully presented food, well cooked, delicate flavours and totally mouthwatering.

We went for our anniversary and it was incredible. It's the sort of restaurant you keep for special occasions but for those special meals, it is really special. Would strongly recommend it.

We have been to the Bybrook three times in the last four years and I have to say it’s always a huge treat the building is incredible even the drive up from the entry gate is a pleasure – Ample onsite parking and then a small walk to the main building. We have always had a drink prior to eating in the small cosy bar gin and tonics are always great, your waiter will then come in and tell you your table is ready.

is not something we do very often - our last one was The Ritz in London a couple of years or so ago and before that Simpsons in the Strand, so I suppose we set the bar for a traditional one quite high. I went for the Beef option and my wife the vegetarian (we have a hotel and restaurant and are trying to extend the veggie options). Both choices met the criteria of attractive food, well cooked and tasty as well as reasonable value. Not over-elaborate wine list with enough choice by the glass (I was driving so drank the local water) to satisfy most tastes, although I found the absence of a traditional (unoaked) French Chardonnay puzzling. Never mind, she had two glasses of a Provencal rose instead. We were running late (traffic on and generated by the M4, which we were told is a perennial problem so factor this in perhaps) but had phoned and were told not to worry which was comforting. The service and servers was formal but friendly - we would cheerfully have employed any of the staff ourselves. I remembered the dining room from over 20 years ago when my sister had her wedding and reception there. It did not seem to have changed and is still a slightly austere space but comfortable enough. We enjoyed the meal and would go again, the last being a sentiment that we do not often express....

Great place to eat really good food.

The restaurant resides in a beautiful boutique inn. The service was fantastic and so was the food. It is not a cheap night out but well worth it.

Tenía el menú de degustación como parte de una oferta de descanso del hotel. Cocina absolutamente fantástica y un servicio muy atento para combinar. Aunque las porciones son todas pequeñas en este menú, después de tres horas: bouche y siete platos, los dos estábamos completamente llenos. Muy caro para el menú de degustación en sí mismo, pero, como parte de la oferta del domingo secreto, con una noche de alojamiento y desayuno y una botella de champán, pensamos que esta era una muy buena relación calidad-precio. Después de todo, es un restaurante con estrellas Michelin. El Sommelier estaba muy bien informado y ella nos ayudó a elegir algunos buenos vinos también. Altamente recomendado

The Breakfast choice was incredible and delicious. Poached eggs were perfect; Eggs Royale particularly good

We visited the Bybrook Restaurant last week and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The food was more fabulous than anticipated, the setting a mixture of grandeur with stunning stained glass windows looking out to the lawns and a comfortable atmosphere. We will definately return and would absolutely recommend.

An elegant restaurant located within the Manor House hotel, I would imagine that the majority of diners here are hotel residents, although I’m sure it is also open to non-residents. It’s a nice room with leaded windows at one end overlooking the gardens, although it could definitely have done with being a couple of degrees warmer when we visited, and we noticed that one of the other tables asked to move as they were feeling a bit of a chill so it wasn’t just us.

We stayed overnight in the Hotel and were thrilled by the experience.We had a lovely attic room with a view over the front lawn.The room was immaculate and extremely large with beautiful decoration and a massive double bed which was incredibly comfortable.

I booked the Bybrook for myself and my partner for dinner on Saturday, firstly the building is absolutely breathtaking and the staff were so lovely!

Nos alojamos en el hotel una noche para celebrar mi cumpleaños y estábamos en un paquete que incluía el menú de degustación. Fue excelente, y vale cada centavo. Tenía los vinos acompañantes, que eran perfectos con los platos. El personal era eficiente y amable y hizo que la noche sea aún más agradable.

Pasamos una tarde estupenda bebiendo té y leyendo sus papeles en un salón y luego nos dirigimos al restaurante Bybrook. Como primera mesa para sentarse alrededor de las 6. 30 teníamos el personal fantástico para nosotros, que fue muy agradable al adaptar el menú de degustación para satisfacer los gustos de mi esposa. Fantásticos listos para comenzar, y hermosos salmones servidos con remolacha como entrante. Personalmente, no soy un gran fanático del foie grass, pero el sustituto de huevo de pato de mi esposa se veía genial. Halibut, venado, queso y postres todo espléndido. También tenía el vuelo del vino que era muy bueno. El hotel está a un par de horas en coche hacia el norte para nosotros, pero definitivamente volveremos para la cena. P. s. Había disfrutado el menú degustación en Le Manoir unas semanas antes, pero esto era mucho mejor.

Esto está en el hotel de la casa de campo The Manor House y lo que en el pasado se ha denominado Hall. Como tal, trae consigo un poco de grandeza y espacio. Ninguna de las mesas se siente demasiado cerca de cualquier otra, lo que es realmente bueno. Si estás conduciendo hay un gran aparcamiento también.

Al restaurante le faltaba algo de ambiente, solo 4 mesas ocupadas cuando teníamos nuestro menú degustación. La música transmitida, que afortunadamente ahora es rara en restaurantes de calidad, fue un acompañamiento constante para el fondo. Encontré las pesadas mesas cuadradas de madera en las que nos sentábamos incómodos. Se sientan en un pedestal grande que hace que sea imposible sentarse en la mesa sin descansar los pies del suelo sobre el pedestal. Se sentía como si estuviera sentado en un avión teniendo que guardar su equipaje de mano debajo del asiento frente a usted, haciéndolo incómodo para sus pies.
