What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Country house hotels don’t get much more classic than Weston Manor Hotel, a beautifully preserved 15th-century house in the Oxfordshire village of Weston-on-the-Green, a reasonably athletic stone’s throw from both Oxford and the Cotswolds.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The village of Weston-on-the-Green sits just outside the gates, and Oxford is eight miles south.
The rooms
Rooms across the manor and former stables keep their historic window shutters and open stone fireplaces.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
An outdoor swimming pool sits within the grounds, flanked by sun loungers and tall ivy hedges.
At the table
Dinner and drinks spill onto the gravel terrace, where tables sit beneath broad parasols and tall patio heaters.
How it began
The manor housed BBC staff during the Second World War before opening as a country hotel in 1946.

The eight vibes

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
