Availability & Prices
  • Buckland Manor is an elegant, very historical boutique hotel in the Cotswolds. It lies on 10 acres of landscaped grounds in the village of Buckland and is in the heart of some of the Gloucestershire/Worcestershire Cotswolds loveliest countryside.

    It is also within easy reach of many of its most charming villages: Broadway, Stanton and Snowshill for example are all just a few minutes’s drive away.

    The manor house hotel has just 15 guest rooms and so is very much a boutique affair, with an intimate, though quite formal, Olde England atmosphere.

    The service is top class, as is the food at their highly praised restaurant. Other facilities include tennis courts and a croquet lawn.

    THE ACCOMMODATION:

    It has just 15 individually designed and styled rooms in various sizes, with the oak paneled superior four poster room being our particular favorite.

    They are all though extremely elegant, and comfortable, and offer plenty of luxury hotel niceties – Nespresso coffee machines, homemade biscuits, Vispring beds and expensive soft fabrics etc., as well as L’Occitane skin care and bath lotions in their opulent, underfloor heated, bathrooms. Some bathrooms also come with a bath, and some rooms have electric fireplaces.

    PRICES:

    Check out all the details – prices, reviews and more photos – on the booking page here.

    FACILITIES & THINGS TO DO:

    One of the highlights of this lovely hotel is their award-winning restaurant serving modern British cuisine under head chef Will Guthrie.

    Ingredients are fresh and local with some herbs and vegetables coming direct from the manor’s own kitchen garden. The historic dining room is a wonderful setting and the atmosphere is stylish, sophisticated, old-school formal.

    Note: The dress code for dinner and Sunday lunch is smart casual and men must wear jacket in the dining room.

    As well as lunch, dinner and snacks you can enjoy classic, three tiered afternoon teas, with a glass or two of champagne added if you wish, and their breakfasts are generous and full of variety.

    The Manor, though not particularly large, has some lovely common spaces to relax in, all of which are beautifully decorated with antique furniture and old oil paintings.

    The aforementioned 10 acre grounds are also lovely to wander around, and have tennis courts and a croquet lawn, and you can also go on some nice countryside walks in the surrounding area – the staff at Buckland will be happy to advise on this and all there is to see and do in the area.

    THE LOCATION:

    Buckland Manor is tucked away in the sleepy, classic Cotswolds village that bears its name on the Gloucestershire/Worcestershire borders.

    The immediate surrounding countryside is truly gorgeous and as well as Buckland itself you are within easy reach of some other classically beautiful villages – Broadway, Stanton and Snowshill to name just a few.

    The nearest train station is at Moreton-in-Marsh, a 20-minute drive/taxi ride to the east. Birmingham is less than an hour to the north with Stratford upon Avon being around a half an hour. Gloucester is around 40 minutes’ away with Cheltenham being about 25.

    A LITTLE HISTORY:

    Buckland is one of the most historical properties in the Cotswolds, being first mentioned in 600 AD as under the ownership of Gloucester Abbey.

    It also has an entry in the Doomsday Book and the village which bears its name – Buckland – has what is believed to be the oldest rectory in England. This is the impressive, now 15th century era, timbered structure that sits beside the Manor today.

    Records show that in 1518 the Buckland Estate was given by Gloucestershire Abbey to James Appery on a 31-year lease but was relinquished, in 1540, to King Henry VIII following the Dissolution of the Monasteries which followed his schism with the Church of Rome.

    It was granted to the newly titled (Church of England) Bishop of Gloucester and then six years later the Church exchanged it with Sir Richard Gresham for some of his lands in Yorkshire.

    Just three years later, in 1549, he died, with the manor along with his many other estates passing to his eldest son, Sir Thomas Gresham.

    Sir Thomas was one of he most successful businessmen of his time and, among his many achievements, was the founder of the Royal Exchange and of Gresham College in London.

    He died in 1579, childless (his only son having already died), and the manor of Buckland passed to his nephew, John, eldest son of his also by then deceased sister, Christian, wife of Sir John Thynne.

    Sir John Thynne junior died in 1604 passing his estate to his son and the manor would remain with the Thynnes right up to their acquisition of the title of Marquesses of Bath and their building of Longleat House, during which time most of the present structure of Buckland Manor was also built.

    REVIEWS:

    “Exceptional: A beautiful building in a lovely setting. Comfortable sofas in front of roaring fires. Staff for whom nothing was too much trouble. Excellent food (traditional breakfast and adventurous tasting menu)…..”

    “A beautiful old Cotswold manor house set in lovely grounds; felt like visiting Middle Earth! Excellent food, lovely traditional decor, welcoming and thoroughly professional staff…..”

    Most Famous Guests: King Henry VIII & Anne Boleyn.

    United Kingdom
    Most Famous Guests: Meghan Markle, Mahatma Gandhi, John Profumo, Christine Keeler. Meghan Markle left Cliveden House, near Windsor, on the morning of Saturday 19th May, for her wedding to Prince Harry having spend her last night as a single woman there (previous divorce aside!). We can’t be sure how much time she spent considering her accommodation options in the area but whichever way the highly glamorous Cliveden House was an excellent choice. From April to October on Thursdays and Sundays the doors of, at least part of, the magnificent property, are open to the admiring gaze of the public while all year round its beautifully manicured grounds are on display until evening. It’s a National Trust property, and one which attracts visitors from all around England and indeed the world but, unlike most other National Trust properties, Cliveden House is of course also a top of the range, 5 star luxury castle hotel, conveniently near London. The hotel possesses the sort of dubious glamour that is irresistible to many visitors, for you cannot mention Clivedon House without making reference to one of the most famous ever scandals in British Political history, the so called Profumo affair of the 1960s, an affair which READ MORE

Perhaps Windsor’s most famous hotel, the luxury Oakley Court is a fabulous Neo-Gothic castle hotel on the banks of the River Thames.

The setting by the Thames, in lovely Windsor, near London, can not be beaten and it has 33 acres of landscaped gardens and woodland to explore, as well as a nine hole golf course, tennis courts, fitness centre, indoor swimming pool, sauna and steam rooms, and a very fine restaurant.

They are all spacious and beautifully appointed with most of them being in the relatively modern annex adjacent to the castle.

    Lanesborough House, Hyde Park Corner

    132.29 km
    Category: 5 Star Castle Hotels, B&B Castle Hotels, Castle Spa Hotels, Family Friendly Castle Stays, Michelin Star Restaurants, and Dog/Pet Friendly Castle Stays
    Address: Hyde Park Corner, St. James's
    Westminister
    Greater London
    SW1X 7TA
    United Kingdom
    The Lanesborough, on Hyde Park Corner, has perhaps London’s most prestigious address and consistently appears near the top of any sensible list of that city’s finest luxury hotels, with its double Michelin Starred Céleste Restaurant being an added bonus. A Grade II listed, Neoclassical building, it was built in 1827 during the reign of George IV to replace the previous mansion built by the 2nd Viscount Lanesborough in 1719, when the first King George; George I, was on the throne. The present day hotel is a stunning place, lavishly furnished in late Georgian/Regency style, it offers a level of luxury and class that few hotels in London, or anywhere else in the world for that matter, can match. For all its opulence though what also makes the Lanesborough stand out is its surprisingly down to earth, friendly ambience. THE ACCOMMODATION: The Lanesborough has 93 rooms and 43 suites to choose from, with la crème de la crème being the incredibly opulent, 363 m² – 3900 square feet, Lanesborough Suite. All the rooms and suites are doubles though an extra bed can also be provided if needed. The interior design at the Lanesborough, both in the accommodation and throughout the hotel READ MORE
