A delightful 17th century rectory in honey-colored stone in one of the Cotswolds’ prettiest villages, Lords of the Manor Hotel is set in eight acres of gardens and parkland, providing tranquility, a genuine taste of refined English country living and superb dining in the Michelin-starred restaurant.

Time stands still here, with the stresses of 21st century life feeling far away. There are quiet nooks inside and outside in which to relax and unwind, a suntrap terrace, cosy writing rooms, soft armchairs by blazing log fires and your individually-styled bedroom, beautifully furnished with antiques and lavish fabrics.

Put on your boots and explore the rolling hills, or tour the gardens and the rambling wine cellars where tasting sessions are a regular feature. Dinner is an event in itself. Choose the chef’s tasting-menu for the pinnacle of French-inspired, award-winning British cuisine.
