With double Michelin starred dining, a sparkling spa, sumptuous accommodation and gorgeous gardens, I believe Whatley Manor is home to some of the finest food in Britain.

The grounds are almost as noteworthy as the food, and are split into numerous distinct and separate outdoor spaces. 

The highlight for me is the Aquarias Spa, while the property’s other impressive facilities include a cinema. Service is impeccable, and each of the 23 rooms is as individual as the guests who stay here.

Even the smallest have space for armchairs and a desk, and all come with Dualit espresso machines, Molton Brown toiletries, pale wood flooring and plush fabrics.

The Dining Room boasts two Michelin stars, while Grey’s Brasserie offers grazing and sharing options as well as a full a la carte menu.

Sampling the Gastronomic menu at the former is a must. If you want 5 star luxury hotels in the Cotswolds offering the culinary journey of a lifetime, I’d really recommend booking into Whatley Manor and reserving your table without delay.
