The Slaughters Manor House

Firstly, we marked it is honeymoon stay but there is no gesture of welcoming you for a honeymoon stay at all. We booked £310 for Deluxe Room per night in a rural area. They allowed us early check in but they don’t even write us a card for honeymoon stay or anything. We booked the restaurant at £80 per head but the menu is totally different from what shown online. It is not professional at all. They front office is also unfriendly to Chinese and the staff has a sense of hierarchy. I felt disgusting for it. The only good thing is the breakfast. Thank you.

Have just returned from a delicious afternoon tea in front of a roaring log fire. The food and service was excellent and we were given a choice of places to sit, either at a table or in comfy chairs/sofa. Would definitely recommend it to others.

Overpriced for what it is... No air conditioning No wi-fi in our room and it only works in one ground floor room. Oddly they were aware of this and yet still do nothing about it(?) My partner was drinking Laurent Perrier Champagne at £28 a glass, yet after our stay we moved on to the Lygon in Broadway and it was £16 a glass, and the Lygon is a very up market similarly priced hotel Service charges: We paid for bed and breakfast up front (we didn't have a choice whether we wanted breakfast or not). £5 service charges were added each day for breakfast... Even tho we didn't have it...!!! And I have a glass of lager pushed across the bar and there's 30p service charge... My girlfriend has a Laurent Perrier at the same time and that's a £2.80 service charge!!! We won't be back

I thought the hotel itself was lovely, it’s in a quaint village, one I’ve passed through many times before, and I’d always loved this manor house, so I was genuinely very excited to finally stay here. However, the service and the room were unfortunately not up to standard. We arrived on a Saturday around 14:00. Although check-in wasn’t until 15:00, we were able to check in early and were shown to our room promptly. At first glance, everything was beautiful, until it wasn’t. When using the bathroom for the first time upon entering the room, it was clear that it had not been properly cleaned. There was residue and tissue left in the toilet, no toilet roll, and used hygiene products still left in the bin, which was very unpleasant. As we headed out to Bourton for a late lunch and I informed the receptionist about the issue and asked if the bathroom could be cleaned and the towels and robes replaced, as we no longer felt confident they were fresh. When we returned, nothing had been done. I ended up having to sort some of it out myself and went back to reception to request toilet roll. Later, when getting ready for dinner, I tried to close the curtains for privacy, only to find that they wouldn’t shut properly. After a lovely dinner, we asked if someone could help us with the curtains, as we did not want to break anything and as the lights outside the manor were shining directly into the room. Someone came up, but instead of using the mechanism, they simply yanked them closed. This didn’t solve the problem, and a beam of light still shone across the bed throughout the entire night. This however did distract us from the very bright green light from the Fire Exit Door in our room also. We were then woken early by the sunrise and struggled to fall back asleep. Before breakfast we decided to have a coffee to wake us up, we went to use the Nespresso machine in the room just to find that there were decaf pods only, this made it feel quite pointless. On a positive note, breakfast was absolutely lovely. Upon check-out, I reminded the staff of these issues, but my concerns were swept under the carpet with little acknowledgment. Overall, I left feeling disappointed. For an anniversary weekend away, this stay was short of our expectations.

We were looking forward to a Champagne Afternoon Tea for my wife and I. A Fathers Day present from my daughter and Son in law. I’ll be fair, but overall you could do much better. The sandwiches were very average, M&S sandwiches are so much better. The scones were delicious but two silly little pots of clotted cream and jam were not even enough to two scones so we had to ask for more. You charge a premium price so this fell short of a premium service.
