By journeying through the rolling hills and rural beauty of the Cotswolds, you reach one of the most acclaimed Cotswold luxury hotels. Lords of the Manor is the perfect destination for guests looking for a truly enchanting getaway. Our 17th-century hotel is in the unspoiled Cotswold village of Upper Slaughter, between Bourton-on-the-Water and Stow-on-the-Wold.
The walk between Upper and Lower Slaughter is often called the best short walk in the Cotswolds - it showcases all that is loved most about the area.

Lords of the Manor is a hotel in Gloucestershire not far from Bourton on the Water in the North Cotswolds. As a typical Cotswolds country house hotel, we occupy a dominant position in the small (but perfectly formed) village of Upper Slaughter. Leave the M5 at either junction 10 or 11 signposted for Cheltenham.
A country house experience will always surpass all other Cotswolds accommodation. Allowing guests to enjoy a true home away from home during their getaway, the authenticity of taking up residence in a country house, no matter how long for, is what makes a Cotswold stay unforgettable. Privately owned for 17 years, Lords of the Manor has always put guests at the forefront of all that we do.
When conceptualising the rooms at Lords of the Manor, we felt it appropriate to showcase the history and character that has developed in the property over the years.

The Atrium restaurant fine dining experience is amazing. The main restaurant is ok, but nothing special, particularly when the only main courses which don't attract a supplement are cod and 2 vegetarian dishes! Staff are delightful and the rooms are fine, but cooked breakfast was rather disappointing. All in all, the hotel did not live up to our memories of it in years past, when it held a Michelin star and all meals were memorable.

A very comfortable hotel, set in magnificent grounds and staffed by friendly, willing and attentive staff. We visited at the beginning of August and had no concerns from a COVID-19 perspective. Food was of a very high standard: full of gentle flavours. There was a good range of options on the menu but it could become a bit limited for anyone staying for more than two or three nights.

If you can - stay here. Very accommodating and very nice people. Didnt thing the food was bad at all. Room was delightful.
Take the afternoon and follow the paths through the sheep pastures over to the other little towns - be careful where you step. We walked all over the place and met great people on the same quest as us. One of the best places we stayed in the west of London

This rating is more for the hotel and service more than the food. This manor house is nothing less than splendid. Let me start from the outside garden and yard. The front lawn is so nice with benches overlooking the pond and small hiking trails going off in various directions. The backyard garden is so wonderful with all the flowers and the layout is similar to that of noble gardens of the past, but on a much smaller scale. Other than the dead mouse outside the back door that was there for two days, it really was relaxing.
The inside consists of so many halls, doors, and rooms that my wife went

This is a lovely hotel, and it's in a beautiful spot. We had high tea on a lovely day in April, sitting outside on the gorgeous lawn overlooking the pretty streams and pond at the bottom of the valley.
It loses two stars because we had the (pricey) high tea and the bread for the sandwiches was stale - not just turning stale, starting to get hard to chew stale. A shame because the cakes and tea were great, but a place that can serve sandwiches with stale bread isn't getting the basics right.
