Lords Of The Manor in Upper Slaughter, Cotswolds

The hotel holds four AA Rosettes for its food and operates two distinct restaurants. Atrium at Lords of the Manor offers a signature tasting menu at £130 per person, available Wednesday to Sunday with one sitting at 6.45pm. The Dining Room provides an à la carte menu in a less formal setting, open daily from 6pm to 9pm.

Each of the 25 bedrooms is individually designed with traditional features and garden views. Room types include Manor Rooms and Country Basic rooms, some with views of the parkland, pond, or walled gardens. The hotel offers dog-friendly Manor Rooms on the ground floor with direct garden access and a welcome package that includes a dog bed, bowls, and treats.

The hotel is set in 8 acres of secluded gardens and parkland, originally a 17th-century rectory. The landscaped grounds include a cottage garden, bog garden, and rose garden, with benches placed throughout for rest. Guests can walk from the gardens directly onto public footpaths connecting Upper Slaughter to Lower Slaughter.

Lords of the Manor provides dog-friendly accommodations with special amenities: a pet basket, pet bowls, and a bed for dogs. Pets are welcomed by name from arrival to departure, and staff offer treats like a sausage at breakfast. The hotel's grounds and surrounding countryside walks are accessible without a car journey.

Upper Slaughter is a quiet Cotswold village with no other commercial establishments, but Lower Slaughter is a 20-minute walk via a public footpath. The historic Longborough Opera House is a 15-minute drive away, and Oxford can be reached in an hour by car. Cotswold Farm Park and multiple walking trails are within easy reach, and local traditional pubs are found in nearby villages.
