Lords of the Manor

The Cotswolds


Although from the outside this 17th-century mansion appears to embody traditional rural splendour, its spacious, supremely tasteful rooms are surprisingly up to date. Expect fresh white styling, floral-print spreads and exposed beams, along with gorgeous countryside panoramas, superb service and a fantastic Michelin-starred restaurant.
