Whatley Manor Cotswolds

Best for…bucolic five-star luxury

At this 18th-century manor house, you feel more like a guest at a friend’s country pile than a hotel patron. That warmth extends to your dog, too, thanks to the welcome packs and walking routes (it’s set in 12 acres of countryside). However, the indisputable highlight is the 10-course tasting menu dinner in the twoMichelin-starred dining room.
