The best restaurants serving French food in Sherston Wiltshire South West

We stayed at Whatley Manor for 2 nights in December 2004, it is an excellent hotel in a period building, which means that it is not possible to install air conditioning. This is the second time that we have stayed there the previous time being about ten years ago at the edge of the season. At that time we found that the heat of the bedroom was unbearable, after complaining they did install a portable unit which was hopelessly inadequate. So this time we chose December as it would be a cold month with the airconditioning not being an issue. How wrong we were, my wife can't sleep if she is sweltering so she got very little sleep, I managed but was not comfortable despite it being cold outside. The staff were excellent no issues with them at all, Greys restaurant was awful I gave it one star on tripadvisor but would have given it a fraction of a star if it had been available. However the michelin restaurant and staff were excellent. The rooms are very comfortable. I would recommend it providing that you go in the winter or are able to sleep in such heat. It has the atmosphere of the F Dorchester or Ritz in London, we have stayed at all the top hotels in London and it compares on a par with those nearly, not quite. I can't imagine the restaurants in either of those hotels or Claridges or the Lanesborough serving up the rubbish that we were served with at the Greys restaurant at Whatley. IF we go again we will just eat at the michelin restaurant, but there are plenty of other better places to stay in the area, Raymond Blanc's Manoir for instance.
