Situated in the becoming Cotswolds location of Lower Slaughter, The Slaughters Manor House occupies a stately country house styled as a deluxe boutique retreat.

I love that all 19 bedrooms are unique in character and decor, and are spread between the main building and the coach house.

Highlights include complimentary sloe gin, retro radios, Nespresso machines and Bramley bath products.

The restaurant offers diners an elegant space in which to savour well-executed dishes created from local ingredients with flair.

With a large, original stone fireplace and lots of windows, it’s a light, bright and stylish space. Upmarket yet laid-back is the vibe here, with crisp linens, buttoned sofas and contemporary hues.

Antique and modern furnishings and features rub along very nicely together, and the grounds are made for relaxed ambling.
