Few other Cotswold luxury hotels can claim to be as part of the countryside as Lords of the Manor; the Cotswold landscape offers beauty and tranquillity, and we are lucky that our 8 acres of perfectly manicured land blends into the nearby ‘wolds’ (or hills, for a more familiar term).

From the sweeping front lawn to the lake beyond the hotel, our garden is designed to be enjoyed. Encouraging and repaying exploration, you will discover features such as our weathered walled garden with original box hedge borders, perennial planting and fruit trees, a bog garden and a meadow where you can while away the hours.

Find a suitable bench or chair from where you can take tea, relax and recharge. You’re welcome to enjoy our garden as though it was your own, but venture a little further beyond the gate and you will find yourself in the quaint village square of Upper Slaughter. Offering a 20-minute circular walk past the church of St Peter, you can head down to a ford before bearing right back to the hotel. Along the way you will see 16^th and 17^th century houses, and perhaps be informed of the rare ‘doubly thankful village’ status of Upper Slaughter; a small few villages were able to welcome back all their men in WW1 and WW2, only 13 others have this distinction.
