“Charming 13th Century manor house, steeped in tradition, on the edge of the Cotswold escarpment. Graceful rooms exude comfort and a timeless elegance. Dress for dinner in the award-winning, seasonally inspired restaurant. Explore the beautiful grounds and countryside.”

Hotel review

You half expect to see Miss Marple taking tea in mellow old Buckland Manor, sitting sedately in its combe next to a little church. Inside, you’ll find gracious, comfortable sitting rooms, a dining room where gentlemen are required to wear jacket and tie, a superb wine cellar, and 13 gorgeous bedrooms with latches but no room keys. The man responsible for the hotel’s down-to-earth friendliness and continuity is manager Nigel Power, who has been at the helm for 21 years.
