Lords of the Manor in Cotswold

Practically perfect in every way. My girlfriend (who became my fiancé during our stay) stayed at Lords of the Manor in December 2024. I had a number of special requests which the team were only too happy to accommodate. We stayed during Storm Darragh which unfortunately led to a 24h powercut during our stay. The staff were wonderful, and did everything they could to ensure we were safe and comfortable despite the lack of power. Leona and I look forward to visiting again!

Outstanding hotel! Friendly and professional staff, excellent food. This is a five star property in our view. We had a wonderful time thank you.

Stopped here for simple scones and tea near the end of a long walk in the Cotswolds countryside. Sitting in the serenity of the garden in front of the hotel savoring the delicious scones and tea was a nice break. The staff was friendly and helpful although a bit formal. Will definitely stay here for a stay in the hotel and dinner the next time we are in the Cotswolds.

Lovely place for afternoon tea. You can stroll the extensive grounds that are beautifully kept.

Beautiful place, just had a drink & a snack, lovely seating outside. staff very friendly would recommend.

Lovely gardens and decor. We came for Sunday lunch and had three courses. All of them were excellent. Service was friendly and well timed. Cod was excellent as was the beef. Cauliflower cheese on the side was perfect too. The tomato and pineapple gazpacho starter was well balanced and delicious. The desserts were beautifully presented and also matched that in flavour and textures.

Outstanding restaurant with unique recipes and amazing staff, well trained and always paying attention to our needs. The hotel was spotless and beautiful, with a fantastic garden that blew our minds. We will come back

A first class dining experience in the Atrium, that will never be forgotten. Firstly all the staff at Lords of the Manor are impeccable, their professionalism and knowledge is outstanding. The taster menu is designed with the relevant season at its heart, providing exquisite dishes including quail, halibut, lamb and spring vegetables. Each dish is presented immaculately and is a delight in every mouthful leaving you wanting more, but also excited for the next course. Adding a flight of wine adds another depth to the experience, with wines carefully picked to enhance the ingredients on the plate. Lords of the Manor is a masterclass on how to do things right. No smoke, fire or other gimmicks needed the skill and expertise speaks for itself.

I recently photographed a wedding at Lords of the Manor & was so impressed. The location & venue itself is beautiful - and the guests and couple were all thrilled with it. The team went above & beyond to make sure the day was perfect for the Bride & Groom and made sure I had everything I needed to do my job too! It means so much & is always wonderful to work with such a lovely team! The gardens were immaculate and made for beautiful photographs. Looking forward to being back soon for more celebrations!

It was like traveling through time. It was a dream holiday in a magnificent nature

This is a delightful hotel and restaurant, with an idyllic setting. If you can afford a little luxury stop overnight, but the set lunch menu or cream tea are more modest alternatives to enjoy the wonderful gardens and views.

Visited with my mom for her birthday and had the afternoon tea. My mom had been to the Ritz in London the week previously and was adamant that the afternoon tea at Lords of the Manor was much better. Definitely the best afternoon tea we have experienced, and far cheaper than the Ritz!

From the moment we arrived to the time we had to leave, the staff looked after us with a smile and without fuss. In particular Neil who greeted us in the lounge for a pre-dinner drink and looked after us throughout the 8-course tasting menu in the Atrium. He was very knowledgeable, always checking we had enough wine, or water, or just generally being on top of it all. He was great all evening. So too were the other staff, who brought in the different dishes and explained with full detail the plate of food before us, the inspiration behind it, and the different flavours we should expect. It was just incredible. My favourite was the quail and quail egg and lemon meringue. This was amazing cookery and artistry. Loved every second. We will come back.

Spectacular afternoon tea. We only went to have afternoon tea, with reservation. The place is a spectacle, the environment itself, upper slaughter, is dreamlike, and if you add lower slaughter and burton, it seems like something out of a story. The mansion is very beautiful, the tea menu is great, the attention was special, as if we were family, and the rooms are spectacular. Incredible.

Visited for a meal in the Atrium. Outstanding service and food. Couldn't fault a single element of the dishes. Drink prices very reasonable.

Situated in an adorable village in the Costwolds, our friends from Americans friends had their first ever afternoon here. The service was really good and the staff knowledgeable. Selection of teas was great. Food looks better than it tasted but was still nice. Shame we weren't sitting in the salon it has a bit more character than the restaurant. Still pleasant atmosphere, though.

You can forget about time and relax. The British people are wonderful, both the guests and the customer service.

Beautiful hotel in a beautiful location. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Would highly recommend the tasting menu in Atrium - this was amazing. The dishes were fabulous and our waitress was so helpful and knowledgeable. The staff throughout the hotel were brilliant. We can’t wait to return.

Two restaurants, one serving tasting menu only (Weds to Sun) the other more casual with a good a la carte menu. Extensive, and imaginative wine list . Country house atmosphere in an outstanding location, with extensive grounds. Excellent staff. No lift but many ground floor rooms. Worth getting on their mailing to be notified of events and special offers.

We had a fabulous afternoon tea here for my birthday. The service was really top notch...the staff were so friendly and attentive, and the food was superb. We particularly enjoyed the quiche! They were also able to cater for my gluten intolerance. We were in the back drawing room overlooking the stunning grounds with a log fire burning. It was so cosy and relaxing. Would definitely return!

My friend & I were given a voucher for afternoon tea. It was a lovely day so we sat outside. Superb service. A lovely selection of sandwiches/scones and treats as well as a glass of bubbly. We shared our spread with a few wasps who enjoined our jam. Gardens to the hotel we’re stunning. We enjoyed looking at & smelling the herbs in the herb garden.

An Exceptional Afternoon Tea in a stunning period house. The customer service was impeccable; from the first online booking, subsequent polite reminder phone call to our (reluctant) departure. We were served by Andy who was on hand whenever we needed him. A good choice of teas and plenty of hot water top-ups if required. Food delightful. The TASTIEST fruit scone, it was still warm and beautifully crunchy; I topped it with fresh strawberry jam and clotted cream …. Yum ! Nothing was too much trouble - even boxing up what we couldn’t eat to take home ((thank you)). We brought a dog with us, who was well looked after too. Full afternoon tea £35 per head. An upgrade to include glass of champagne was optional. Stunning setting. A real treat ! Thank you to all staff :)

We stopped for tea and snacks. The server met us at the door and seemed utterly perplexed at our request for tea and perhaps some snacks. He had to go check first with someone, then he stuffed us into a small side room beside the kitchen entrance. We didn’t have a proper table, just a saggy sofa and small sad coffee table. Tea was lukewarm, server vanished, we never did receive everything we ordered. We finally went to hotel reception to pay and couldn’t be bothered to complain, since we’d been almost an hour waiting to leave and wanted to get on with our day. If this is indicative of the hotel quality, I would never stay here.

A very nice property in Upper Slaughter with a well-tended garden in which to sip cocktails while taking in the views across rolling hills prior to supper. The meal itself was excellent, in a pleasant ambience, with good service. There are apparently two restaurants on the premises and a private dining area.

The Slaughters still remain unspoilt in spite of the hordes of tourists who visit nearby Stow on the Wold,Burford and Bourton on Water.Upper Slaughter where Lords of the Manor is located is the less accessible and is picture perfect with buckets of charm in its buildings and gardens and importantly lack of commercial shops and billboards. This is the real appeal of lunch at this very special hotel.It sits majestically with its mellow cotswold stone blending into the surroundings which include well laid .gardens. With this lunch is not allowed to disappoint and it does not.It is a three course set menu with three choices at each level for £29.50.We had the freshest of products cooked sublimely with the most delicate of flavours in the right proportions. The food was exquisite and memorable in every way in an elegant dining room with wonderful art blending in with the subtle warm decor and an ambience to match

This sophisticated dining room made our last night dining in the Cotswolds very special. Everything is top notch! The greeting, the staff, the dinner, the ambience, the food, the wine . . . Well you get the point! The smoked chicken Caesar salad was the best I’ve ever had! My husband and I both enjoyed the cod piccata! The selection of wine was good and we were pleased with our choice. There is also a paired dinner option that looked appetizing, as well! We never felt rushed. The hotel is also very beautiful and made us wish we had stayed the so that withs o many delicious options to choose from we could’ve dined here all four nights!

Delightful Cotswold hotel / restaurant in a lovely setting. Food is superb; good choice of dishes and well presented. The restaurant team are excellent and in particular Daniel who is superb. Lovely gardens within the hotel grounds.

We did not stay at the hotel as guests but we did book an afternoon tea here. The hotel was gorgeous, and the tea was lovely. The service was wonderful and the menu was delicious. It was definitely the full English tea experience. One of my favorite memories of our trip!

We had a celebratory birthday lunch on a Saturday and everything about our experience was just outstanding! From our arrival, when the staff offered to park our car for us, to enjoying the lounge after our meal had finished, I cannot fault a thing. The food was amazing, totally delicious and, although the portions were not large, they were perfectly judged and completely satisfying. There was much to tempt us on the a la carte menu, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their choices. My entire meal (starter: smoked salmon delicately presented, main course: park belly, and dessert of poached pears and panna cotta) was a delight in every bite, as were my companion's meals. Even the little things like the bread and butter, or the mint tea after the meal, were exceptional. The presentation was very beautiful. The service was beautifully, indeed, perfectly, paced. The ambience was elegant and comfortable. They have created a truly memorable 5 star experience!

We are still at the hotel after celebrating my birthday here. 12 of us enjoyed a private dinner last night and it was nothing short of superb. The food, wine and service were all 5 star. What a wonderful place. Would have no hesitation in recommending.

Charming service . Very good food. Delightful surroundings . A place we have returnee to over the years

My husband and I did the Chef's tasting menu. There were only 4 tables with 2 guests each. The service was outstanding, as was the food. The menu changes seasonally and the food was very fresh and inventive. The explanations that went along with each course really enhanced the experience. This was a wonderful culinary delight!

We stayed at the hotel with friends and our dog. It’s a beautiful hotel set in lovely gardens. The staff were really friendly. Excellent food. Couldn’t fault it .

Visited here in June 2022 for my birthday. We decided to have a couple of drinks at the bar to start and were so pleased we did. We were waited on hand and foot and honestly some of the best service I have ever experienced. We had 2 servers, both of whom were very friendly and knowledgeable. The cocktails were fantastic. We had our order taken while drinking our cocktails in the bar beforehand and even asked what course we would like our wine choices to arrive. A very nice touch. We had some squid to start as an appetiser which was lovely. Great sized portion. Only point to note that they were a tad salty but no big issue. I then had the arancini to start and my boyfriend had the salmon. Great sized portions and delicious. I then had the lamb and my boyfriend had the duck. The lamb was incredible, cooked perfectly and tender. My boyfriend said his duck was also delicious. To end we shared a mint chocolate torte which was lovely. As it was my birthday they bought out a little treat at the end which was a lovely touch. From start to finish a wonderful meal and would definitely return.

Lovely setting in the Cotswolds. Had a gorgeous Champagne cream tea to celebrate my nieces 21st birthday. Everything was lovely and our waiter was really sweet . Made a special occasion feel special.

We booked ahead for Afternoon Tea and it exceeded our expectations in every way. The only thing missing was a staff member to wheel us out to the car park because we were too full to walk.The staff were very friendly but unobtrusive and nothing was too much trouble. Our dietary preferences were catered for very well and everything was very tasty. The scones were huge, light, fluffy and possibly the best egg mayo I have tasted. The puddings were pretty, inventive and delicious. We look forward to going back for Festive Tea, once lockdown is over. It is worth every penny. I really cannot recommend Lords of the Manor enough.

The food was soooooo scrumptious! The staff were really friendly too! They made sure to ask about any dietary requirements when we booked too.You can take well behaved dogs in which was great for our rescue, he even got a dog treat from the waiting staff - thank you.The only comment to note is the price of a glass of champagne was more expensive on the afternoon tea menu than the drinks menu, should they not be the same?All in all fantastic!!

Caminamos desde Bourton - On - The - Water hasta Upper Slaughter el domingo y decidimos que nos habíamos ganado una bebida fría bajo el sol.Nos sentamos afuera por un par de horas, el servicio fue excelente y el gerente incluso trajo al perro un cuenco de agua.Los precios eran perfectamente aceptables por la calidad y la ubicación.Recomiendo a fondo

Nos sentamos en el jardín en un cálido día de verano y disfrutamos de un delicioso y abundante almuerzo tipo sándwich. Un entorno muy agradable, pero desafortunadamente nuestra experiencia se vio empañada por la gran cantidad de avispas.

Beautiful hotel and beautiful grounds. Excellent afternoon tea. All in all a superb experience highly recommended.

Llegamos en una hermosa tarde soleada y nos sentamos a tomar una copa afuera y hay que decir que es una ubicación fabulosa. Pedimos dos copas grandes de rosas y nuestro deleite se atenuó cuando la factura fue de 40. Con precios tan altos, creo que deberían habernos ofrecido la lista de vinos del bar primero.

Visitamos como parte de un viaje a los Cotswolds como nuestra primera incursión después del encierro. El hotel es un lugar encantador, un entorno hermoso y el comedor es una muy buena alternativa al Atrio para aquellos con menos apetito por el menú de degustación completo. La comida ofrecía mucha variedad y todos quedamos contentos con nuestra experiencia. El servicio fue sorprendentemente excelente. El restaurante era tranquilo, muy adecuado para ese tipo de salidas nocturnas (quizás más de lo habitual, debido a las restricciones de capacidad de COVID).

Después de meses de encierro decidimos hacer una escapada gastronómica a los Cotswolds. Durante 4 días tuvimos 6 comidas en varios restaurantes de 2 a 3 AA rosette y el almuerzo y la cena que tuvimos aquí fueron perfectos. Habíamos reservado la cena con anticipación, pero terminamos cayendo para almorzar en un largo paseo desde Stow on the Wold. Los jardines son simplemente impresionantes, el hotel rezuma lujo y la comida es sencilla pero perfecta. Las combinaciones de sabores son deliciosas y definitivamente obtienen algunos de los mejores productos que el dinero puede comprar. Estábamos tan contentos de haber reservado la cena cuando babeamos por nuestro almuerzo. El salmón ahumado que comimos en el almuerzo era tan bueno que lo obtuvimos nuevamente para la cena. No te pierdas las croquetas de patata con trufas, estaban alucinantes y aún puedo degustarlas una semana después.Definitivamente estaremos reservando una de sus estancias gastronómicas que incluyen una cena en el comedor a la carta y The Atrium para el menú degustación que estaba completo para nuestra estadía.

Three of us has the fab (although pricey) full afternoon tea, which includes fresh scones, nice sandwiches and amazing cakes in a beautiful garden setting. The service was on the relaxed side, but we were in no hurry. Well worth the investment.

La comida que me prepararon fue absolutamente perfecta. La calidad fue notable. Me senté por un miembro muy agradable del personal que detalló algunos elementos del menú. Tomé 3 platos y me quedé con una experiencia increíble de delicia culinaria. Cada artículo se cocinó perfectamente, se preparó bien y también en un tiempo razonable.

Stayed to celebrate our joint 60th birthdays all staff were polite and personable the taster menu and afternoon tea both excellent. Certainly on our list for a 2nd visit top spot for a Cotswold break Thankyou.

Very good restaurant. We stayed overnight in the hotel. Dietary requirements easily managed. Service good. Not complete "wow" like some Michelin starred places, but genuinely good food, presentation and all round experience. Happily recommend.

Tuvimos un hermoso descanso en Lords of the Manor. Seleccionamos el menú de degustación de 8 platos con vino maridado que recomendamos encarecidamente. Desde el primer bocado de los canap s supimos que iba a ser especial. Cada bocado estaba lleno de una variedad de sabores complementarios. Maravilloso conocer al talentoso Chef al final también. Nuestra habitación era clásica y elegante aprovechando al máximo la maravillosa arquitectura. El personal fue increíblemente amable y servicial.

We had the taster menu the first night of our stay - it was fantastic. An interesting and delicious array of flavours and combinations. The service was exceptional and it was a bonus to meet the talented young chef. The following nights our meals were equally excellent and, again, the service faultless, the staff friendly and attentive. Would highly recommend this restaurant.

A perfect taster menu with matching wines. The appetisers started the meal off so well and packed in so many exquisite flavours, the petit fours ended so well (and an excellent piece of theatre). We will certainly return.

Three of us had the taster menu. The food was excellent, one of the best we have had, and the service fine.

Enjoyed a lovely birthday lunch at Lords of the Manor. Generous portion. Cookies came with the coffee and latte :) Wasn’t overly busy at lunch but overheard they were booked for the weekend. Wish we could go again. Beautiful old hotel.

As a treat for my family, I had booked afternoon tea here, over the years we had been to many places and had yet to find one that deserved the inflated price, sadly we are still looking!The scones were dry, there was insufficient clotted cream and jam, and when the extra cream was supplied, it was still frozen! The tea was ok but Luke warm, and because one of our party is disabled we choose a lounge on the ground level only to have new guests walking through with luggage, management walking around with working discussing the toilet refurbishment and guests walking their dogs through!Needless to say we didn’t pay the service charge, and we will continue our search for an establishment that can offer afternoon tea without issues at a cost which is sensible

We had champagne afternoon Tea here 37.50 so expectations were high but totally misplaced.A glass of champagne did arrive followed sometime later by the tea.. Four finger sandwiches a couple of cakes, a small Posett we thought lemon meringue and four scones with jam and cream.The scones were raw in the middle, and sent back. Some 20 mins later replacements arrived.Paying this much for afternoon tea I expect to be wowed. Instead we get an experience that would have been better in Marks and Spencer.If you are charging top dollar you have to get it right. This wasn’t. I always thought this place was meant to be good, well it isn’t. I won’t come again and wouldn’t recommend it. I think the management should be ashamed.

We stopped off here for a drink after a walk from Bourton. Waited at the bar for 10 mins for someone to come and serve (went and asked at reception twice to see if anyone could come and serve us and was just told to wait). The waitor was very nice when did come though. Randomly didn't serve cordial when we finally were able to order! Generally made to feel unwanted while they looked after the elderly, upper class folk.

Very disappointed as the scones were rock hard and extremely dry. When we showed the waiter how hard they were by tapping them he said that’s how the chef likes them. They were totally inedible.However the sandwiches were delicious and the bread lovely and fresh.

We were visiting Bourton on the Water and came here for the afternoon tea after Google reviews told us this was the place for great afternoon teas.

We have been visiting Lords of the Manor since the 80s

We stayed here on our way back from Birmingham . We wanted to stay in a picture perfect Cotswold village and hotel . Lords of the Manor and Upper Slaughter will not disappoint .

We had dinner at the Atrium (part of the Lords of the Manor) and it was stunning. The tasting menu was amazing with perfectly cooked dishes. The young chef is extremely friendly. He definitely deserves a Michelin star and has a great future. The only downside is the service which is not precise enough. Still highly recommended and we will return

A weekend break in this beautiful part of the country. Hotel was everything you would expect, and more. The quirky passageways made it a delightful experience and the restaurant is a must. The tasting menu was to die for - strongly recommend a visit

Visitamos la casa de Slaughter para una comida de cumpleaños. No me puedo quejar del servicio, el ambiente y la comida.

Anteriormente hemos estado en The Lords of the Manor y tuvimos una experiencia maravillosa, sin embargo, en esta ocasión visitamos con la familia para tomar el té de la tarde, que resultó ser muy decepcionante. El personal no era particularmente amable o atento. El té de la tarde y los tés en crema no tenían una buena relación calidad-precio, tanto por la calidad de la comida como por lo que recibían. El hotel y los jardines son increíbles.

Tuvimos la comida más maravillosa y experimentamos una hospitalidad tan encantadora en lo que tiene que ser uno de los mejores hoteles que formamos desde el momento en que entras por la puerta que hemos visitado. Servicio de aparcacoches y atención al detalle. Todo el mundo fue bien y muy educado y servicial. Era un aniversario personal que estábamos celebrando y la comida era sublime, al igual que el restaurante en sí. Las habitaciones eran de 5 estrellas, baños espectaculares y un entorno encantador. Muchísimas gracias a todo el personal y la recepción: ¡ustedes son verdaderos profesionales!

Reservado en el comedor para mi cumpleaños. Encantador bar, lástima que el barman no supiera cómo hacer un Vodka martini PLY PLY que usara aceitunas condimentadas. La sopa de guisantes fue la ESTRELLA de la comida, posiblemente la mejor sopa que he probado. Además, nuestro servidor (no recuerdo su nombre) también era una superestrella. Los platos principales (bacalao y cordero) estaban bien, pero por el precio y la exageración esperaba WOW.

Spent a very enjoyable afternoon in front of a log fire at this very comfortable country hote Service excellent food ok but nothing to write open about

I went with my family to this Hotel the Sunday lunch was the best Sunday roast I have had for along time. The service was excellent. It was old school silver service. Pity the waiters did not smile more. The grounds were wonderful it must be fabulous in the summer. Well worth a visit

I’d booked this through secret escapes as something different to do in January.

We went here for a champagne afternoon tea for our 30th wedding anniversary. We had a table on the lawn overlooking the garden and countryside beyond. Our waiter was very attentive. The tea was amazing. They had catered for my nut allergy with no fuss at all. It was a real treat.

3 of us visited the restaurant last night & chose the a la carte menu (instead of the tasting menu), and starting with the positives, the food was absolutely incredible. I had the risotto, steak & chocolate. The steak was by far the highlight - was typical Michelin star level in terms of mouthwatering flavours and presentation. The staff were friendly, helpful and had in depth knowledge on the dishes, they made the experience go from good to great. It was recently my fathers birthday and they brought him out a little extra treat which was cute.

Arrived to be told that we had booked for 2, not the 4 that we were. Incorrect. The food was first class and delicious, but the wines were overpriced. The dining area had the aura of slightly faded grandeur. Nevertheless, I would not hesitate to recommend it.

Tried the 5 course menu and the food was divine, it was so well presented and tasted fantastic. Staff were very attentive.

As part of my wife's birthday weekend, we spent 2 nights at the Lords of The Manor and chose to savour the Tasting Menu on our second night. What an amazing treat this was! The 7 courses of food were an absolute treat for all the five senses. The matching flight of wines was a perfect accompaniment. To top it all, the Service was very personal, caring and attentive. The Restaurant also served a personalised Birthday Dessert plate specially for my wife. All in all, a great fine dining experience fit for the Lords and no doubt we will come back for more of the food and exemplary service in the future. A big Thank You to the LOTM team!

I have reviewed this restaurant under the hotel. Suffice to say it is amazing and is most certainly on a par with a 2 Michelin star restaurant I recently visited. The tasting menu is sublime and each dish was so delicious and presented perfectly. From the amuse bouche to the gateau opera - chicken, fish, venison...The staff are extremely attentive and I really cannot fault this place at all. It is of a standard not often found and if I could manage to eat a tasting menu every day, I would be there, of that there is no doubt. The dishes are creative but not overly so and the flavours are quite amazing, Wonderful. So good, it has to find a place in my Top 5 restaurants.

Food was superb! Sunday lunch menu was exquisite, each and every course! The only area for improvement was the selection of wines served by the glass and the prices charged which are a little steep for the average quality.

The five course fine dining menu was an experience that we thoroughly enjoyed. Each course was prepared and presented with perfection.

Found this place purely by accident and was dissapointed. The food is small portions but beautiful! The staff are extremely polite. This place also has beautiful grounds with a lake.

La alta cocina vista por la perspectiva fresca e innovadora de un brillante chef de 28 años y el excelente equipo que lo respalda. Nada pesado en el menú fijo. . . Simplemente se deleita riffing suavemente sobre la técnica clásica. Cenar en Lords of the Manor en estos días es experimentar creaciones y sabores etéreos que van desde lo sutil a lo exuberante. Dado el impresionante entorno y el servicio de primera categoría (el tipo que te hace sentir como un rey y bienvenido a la familia a la vez), el restaurante se merece estrellas Michelin que el chef puede ver muy pronto. Independientemente, la experiencia es especial y memorable incluso para aquellos que no son ajenos a la buena mesa. Indiscutiblemente, entre los mejores de los Cotswolds, si no la joya de la corona.

I had dinner with my wife recently at Lords of the Manor. The food is superb, the ambience is perfect. One of the best memories of our trip. We would love to go back in the future. This is a most!

We dressed for dinner. I wore a suit. My partner (who is British, born in London and of Nigerian heritage) wore a nice dress. We arrived by taxi half-an-hour early, as suggested by the restaurant, in order to have an aperitif in the bar. We were politely shown to the bar and told that someone would look after us. We took a seat at a table in the bar. From this point we were completely ignored.

Went to celebrate an important birthday and could not have chosen a better venue. It oozes class and the food is sensational in every aspect - freshness, innovation, ingredients, taste, while its presentation is a work of art. The service was attentive, but unobtrusive and respectful.

We took a walk up from lower slaughter and popped in for a cup of coffee and some tea cakes. The were very expensive! On the other hand, this is a great place place. We really enjoyed sitting out in the garden and having our coffee and cakes. The staff was very friendly even though we wandered in off the trail and only ordered a little. If money was no object this would be a great place to stay. They treated us very well!

Visited the first time for dinner. We had the 7 course tasting menu which was excellent throughout. The produce, cooking, timings, service (warm and efficient): all were first rate. The decor could perhaps use a bit more attention, but it seems that the team is on it. We had a chance to meet the chef Charles Smith who is clearly on a mission. He has a strong background and on this showing a great future. Very highly recommended.

What a delight it is to dine at Lords of the Manor. Each course is exquisite and yet designed flow on to the next in a happy progression. My dinners were quite wonderful, well-timed and aimed to both please and tease the palate. I loved the little taste bud teasers and palate cleansers to serve as pleasing intermezzos between courses. The veal carpaccio brought tears to my eyes with its delicacy and the opera cake was memorable as one of the best desserts of my life.

As a dedicated London foodie, it's always a joy to find a rural restaurant that shows city eateries how to serve a really top quality meal. The style is country house, with lovely surprises throughout the meal. The various courses were interspersed with all sorts of canapes and amuse bouches delicacies. Every course was a triumph, but the stand out was a superb Raviolo of Norfolk quail breast & foie gras with thyme-infused consommé. The quality of the food was matched by wonderful service. Eat here if you ever get the chance, you won't regret it. It's not cheap, but it's worth every penny. A magnificent experience.

Me and my partner visited whilst on holiday in the Cotswolds. Prior to our visit, I requested 2 vegan menus. They came with 2 choices for each course - although disappointed the only options for dessert were a fruit salad and sorbet (no imagination). I have attached the photos of what we had.

Picture-perfect grounds and manor house. A wonderful lunch of pea soup and ale (what's a better lunch, I ask you?!). Take time to wander through the gardens in the back - they're well worth it! Wonderful hospitality - the Chief of Maintenance gave us an insight into the upkeep of such a grand manor. Our server acted as a guide - advising us on how to continue our walk. All in all, a wonderful stop along our way.

We were walking around in Upper Slaughter and came upon Lords of the Manor. The garden where we had tea is huge, surrounded by trees, flowers and plants. We had the most amazing quiet time there. If we are ever back in Upper Slaughter, we will definitely have dinner there.

お昼にはアフタヌーンティーをいただき、夕食もこちらでいただきました。

Very friendly and attentive staff who can't do enough.Beautiful gardens and dog friendly. Called in for coffee and biscuits, which were home made but have booked an event there. Priced in the high side but for a special event, it is lovely

Had dinner here recently. It had been a while since we had last dined here during UK travels. Our last visit left us a tad disappointed but we’d had the chance to discuss things with management and had high confidence our last visit was a fluke. We are so glad we returned.

The local ingredients were so fresh and so the Chef kept the dishes simple - the lamb was truly outstanding.

We were treated to Sunday Lunch at Lords of the Manor and arrived with great anticipation. Unfortunately it was not quite warm enough to have a drink outside so we adjourned to the bar which was as quiet as a reading room at University, just a couple on their computers having coffee to keep us company. We were ushered into the Dining Room which was empty apart from one other couple. No atmosphere, no buzz, no

The dining room is simple and possibly slightly on the small side but service was exemplary and the food was pretty impressive.

The service is excellent, the building and grounds are great even if the restaurant decor is a bit dated and confused. The food is well presented, but I don’t think they will win a Michelin star currently. The depth of flavours simply isn’t there in sauces and accompaniments, some items were left unseasoned and a piece of Brill I had was slightly over-cooked. There is perhaps also a certain lack of originality in the cuisine. It could become again a place with a star but the consistency and inventiveness simply is not there (yet).

A great experience. The building and the estate are stunning - when the weather is good it is a must to wander in the estate and back gardens. The décor of the restaurant itself is refined, if a bit understated - at least there is no faux-pas there.

Having a drive across the Cotswolds is a very lovely experience with those lovely villages built on light stone and this restaurant is in Upper Slaughter one of the prettiest villages in the area. The restaurant is based in a very picturesque hotel traditional from the Cotswolds in stone and it is a fine dinning restaurant with good service and a decent value for money lunch menu. It was not exceptional but overall it was very good, a bit expensive when you add all, but certainly a very pleasant culinary experience

We returned on a complimentary visit after my disastrous birthday in November where the water was freezing cold during my stay making bathing/showering very uncomfortable. This time we were given room 16 which was spacious with a lovely view of the gardens and very pleasant. Again breakfast was very pleasant. The staff were very courteous and helpful. We did not dine this time as we were not given any discount. A little short slighted of the management as for a small discount they would have had our dinner, wine and drinks income.

Had thetasting menu it was inventive and tastefull. The wine flight was also excellent. The staff were friendly and professional.

We arrived just after the recent bad snowy weather had started to thaw. The hotel had received many cancellations because the snowdrifts made it difficult to reach the hotel by car. We were the only people who made it for lunch . In spite of the lack of guests at the hotel we would that the service could have been better, especially in the finer details. For example, the entrance to the hotel from the car park was still icy and my wife as well as another person in our party of four almost slipped on the thawing ice. Nothing serious happened but I did find it strange that the hotel had not put more salt on the ice. When we got to the bar and ordered our drinks I was surprised that no nibbles, free or otherwise, were offered or even suggested by the barman. We had the whole restaurant to ourselves. The hors d'oeuvres were fine and the first course and the pudding were very good. However, we were disappointed with the traditional roast beef, which frankly is not too difficult to make. We were not asked how we wanted the beef cooked, so all three people received the same rare beef. Again, this is a small complaint but one person in our party does not like eating rare beef and frankly it is almost normal now in any half decent restaurant to be asked how people want their beef cooked. The Yorkshire pudding was an embarrassment as it was overcooked, so it tasted of card-board. The roast potatoes seemed to have been deep fried a number of times as the skin was covered in some sort of batter which made it difficult to cut. Two people in our party did not touch the Yorkshire pudding and the roast potatoes. Yet, the cauliflower and carrots were done to perfection. The bread was also good and the two types of butter served with it were delicious. Bizarrely, there was no salt or pepper mill on the table. With an almost empty hotel, when it came to having coffee at the end of the meal our waiter did not suggest that we take in the lounge, which again I thought was a bit strange.
