What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
A beautiful part-17C manor house built from Cotswold stone and surrounded by delightful grounds, elegant bedrooms are split between the house and stables.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
The front gates open onto Lower Slaughter, where footpaths follow the River Eye past traditional stone cottages.
The rooms
Bedrooms are split between the main house and converted stables, with freestanding roll-top baths in select suites.
The Restaurant
The dining room sits partly in the historic chapel, serving modern British dishes made with seasonal Cotswold produce.
At the table
Pink velvet stools surround the curved cocktail bar, where bartenders shake drinks using small-batch spirits.
How it began
The Whitmore family held the estate for over three centuries, from 1611 until it first welcomed hotel guests in 1964.
