What a wonderful manor house in a beautiful Cotswold village. Amazing location and extraordinary cuisine. Highly recommend to anyone looking for the perfect Cotswold getaway.
The ideal Cotswold country house hotel. Good service and a reasonably sized room. The food is very expensive for what is presented, sadly very limited dairy free options.
The bedroom decor was exceptional and the bathroom spacious.
We sat at the breakfast table for 40 minutes before we had anything to eat the 2 hot dishes arrived at once. Service seemed haphazard. Reception kindly reduced the bill when we checked out.
Manor house was conveniently located to visiting various areas of the Cotswolds. The grounds were immaculate. Room was comfortable and clean. The service was great, professional and they were pleasant to interact with. Food and drinks were very good too.

Beautiful location! Gorgeous property. The only issue that I had I was slow wifi and water temp and pressure wasn't the best. But, overall good stay- perfect location in Cotswolds!
This place was something out of the country life magazine, it was breath taking and my partner loved it. Very quiet and easy to just relax and stop for a while.
Good location quality. Service was lacking in breakfast room. Not great value for the price - at this price level you would expect better staff service (staff lacking at breakfast, reception staff are not very welcoming) and you would expect more than one small bottle of water in the room, better range of teas in the room. We had requested earlier check in but there was no flexibility on check in and out times.
The very best hotel that you can stay in. All the staff are superb. Fantastic experience room amazing. The food is out of this world

The building itself is impressive and hotel service is overall friendly. But we booked as one adult one child, however additional charges are added for the child, which is not good. Also we found three spider webs in the room and we got reply “sorry” only…
Superb hotel. Excellent staff, friendly and welcoming. Excellent dinner. Highly recommended for a special occasion.
Bed was comfy. Room was spacious and very well maintained.
This hotel was fantastic. Its a place you want to come and stay for a while. Good for short trips as well but its so peaceful and beautiful. The grounds are well maintained, the staff goes above and beyond. Very friendly people who love the place they work. You feel like you are going back in time but with modern day amenities.
This was our second visit, this time with our dog. The hotel is great to visit with a dog, a nice room available to sit with a drink or coffee in the main house. Our room was large and very well placed to take Ted to the beautiful, safe garden. We had a meal in the restaurant that was beautiful but the wine made it very expensive! Beautiful breakfast. We will return again!
Amazing place! Picturesque and quaint, nestled within scenic countryside. One of the best hotel experiences I’ve ever had. Highly, highly, highly recommend it to anyone. Seems to itself more to couples or families with older teenage kids. It’s not a playful hotel.

The outside was beautiful. The view was stunning. The inside was poorly decorated: outdated and shabby furnishings. Lounges crowded with too much shabby outdated furniture. Staff seemed impatient poorly informed and unhappy. We waited in line to check in, told abruptly to wait away from the front desk. No welcome greeting. We felt our presence was intrusive.
Firstly the staff was amazing, they went above and beyond to help in anyway they could my disabled in-laws who said they felt so special, so a deep thanks from us.
Side note: we had an electric car and would be helpful for an on-site charger (the goverment has a £5k grant available, just thought I would mention it) clearly didn’t impact our stay just worth a mention.
Such a lovely, transporting stay at this beautiful country manor. The public areas are especially chic. The Nina room had an outstanding view and was huge; however, the plumbing was wonky with difficulty getting cold water and a shower that wasn’t scalding. One must run the water for a long time to calibrate it — contravening efforts to conserve. Also, the staff had difficulty checking guests out with any level of efficiency, so allow extra time for check-out.
Having decided to extend our trip in the south west and finding our previous hotel had no availability to stay another night, we plumped for The Slaughters Manor House as we fancied heading back into The Cotswolds, which we love and most importantly they had a couple of rooms (suites) still available which was a result given it was the beginning of the Bank Holiday weekend (May).
As we had previously stayed in Upper Slaughter we thought Lower Slaughter had been somewhat neglected so TSMH was the natural choice for such seasoned travellers as ourselves (seasoned = mature :) We were not disappointed.
The Slaughters Manor House is a gorgeous little country house hotel in the most delightful location with a great name! We stayed in Kate on the first floor of the main house which was a wonderfully spacious and comfortable room complete with fireplace and four poster bed. All the staff were very helpful from Anton who manhandled our bags up the stairs to our suite, Paula who checked us in with great efficiency and Sue who makes the most deliciously sour cosmopolitan.
We will definitely return!
The hotel is a quintessential representation of an English countryside manor. Grounds are gorgeous, we loved our huge room and the pretty, old school bathroom, and the breakfast was high quality and delicious.
