Buckland Manor

An absolute fairytale of a place to stay! We felt like royalty here - the staff were lovely, the rooms were large and the property was stunning. I highly recommend staying here as a treat on your vacation!

Beautiful grounds and lovely building

Nothing

Todo. En medio del campo, alejado de los pueblos

Pocas atracciones de juegos

From the minute we walked in through the door you were made very welcome. Brought up to the room by the receptionist she down with us and went through every thing. Room was lovely very antique look and bed was so comfortable. Fresh apples left in room and lovely shortbread if you wanted to make a cuppa. Breakfast was lovely too. Had dinner one night it was really lovely. Staff were all fantastic and helpful. Definitely will return.

Nothing

Maniero medievale ben conservato immerso nella natura e in buona posizione per visitare i Cotswolds. Ideale per relax e passeggiate.

I pasti non sono all’altezza della struttura e il servizio a tavola estremamente lento.

Everything !

Nothing at all

Beautiful English estate and garden , great service , tasty dinner, great British atmosphere

There isn’t air conditioning, no lift and without minibar in the room

Beautiful location and grounds. Staff friendly, helpful and attentive. Room large. The bathroom was spectacular. Lovely antique furniture. Bed comfortable. The food in the restaurant tasty, well presented.

I was surprised there was no charging point in the room.

Buckland! Been going there since 1977

Couldn’t stay longer

Beautiful mansion, good kitchen, great choice of wine Nice staff

It was a bit hot in the room but it’s understandable given the temperature outside

Adore Buckland Manor - feels like someone’s personal home. Grounds are lovely and staff friendly and helpful. Food delicious at breakfast and dinner - adored the shortbread cookies in our room every evening!

Enjoyed a drink each night but the bar stacks were disappointing.

A lovely hotel nestled in the Cotswolds just off the Cotswold Way, so very much worth a visit. We have returned to this hotel for lunch but not actually stayed and had dinner and it was lovely and completely met our expectations! The staff were really friendly and helpful! At the time of our visit there were a lot of people from the USA which is great to see that they have picked this hotel for their stay in the Cotswolds and some will be coming back! The hotel is very comfortable, lovely bedrooms, comfortable beds and a lovely bathroom. The food in the restaurant was excellent with great service!

Nothing everything was perfect

Vieux manoir charmant, jardin mangnigique

Le standing n’est pas à la hauteur du prix. Petit déjeuner moyen, personnel peu souriant

Location, quality of food, lovely garden setting. Friendly staff.

Internet was useless, either no signal or intermittent. Shower was not up to standards. Quant is fine but it still must meet standards.

We brought this two night stay for our parents & they were made to feel as special as they are, they said the hotel & grounds were wonderful & the service perfect. The staff themselves were amazing & couldn’t do enough for them, they were so friendly as well as super efficient. Thank you from us all for making their stay so memorable.

The architecture is sth I always like. The grounds are very well kept , there is a constant care going on. The breakfast / dining room is perfect having a view over the grounds through beautiful windows

Mmmm, nothing

Bellissima struttura e bel giardino. Personale gentile. Le camere sono belle e pulite.

L’arredo delle zone comuni andrebbe rinnovato (pur mantenendo il sapore antico).

L’atmosfera, la cura dei dettagli. Tutto talmente bello che le minime mancanze passano in secondo piano

We had a great birthday weekend. We had a lovely welcome by Sam, and the restaurant staff were hard-working, courteous, attentive and professional - very well led by Tegan. The menu was as good as we had expected. Your Hungarian colleague graciously advised us on things to do in Broadway. We enjoyed the walk over the hill. The Manor itself is a wonderful, very comfortable place, nestled away in a quiet and stunningly attractive surround brightened, on our visit, by all the daffodils and other spring bulbs.

It was our first visit to Buckland Manor and we could not have been more pleased that we chose them to stay at Broadway for a couple of days. The staff -all of them- could not have been more welcoming and attentive. And they were all very cheerful and friendly and it makes a huge difference when you are staying somewhere for the first time. If we travel to that area again, we know where to stay.

Travelled an hour in the expectation of a Cotswold Sunday Lunch experience. What a let down. Positives: lovely Hungarian waiter, charming to a fault. Nice selection of wines. Negatives: blunt cutlery, tough pigeon, scarcely tepid cauliflower cheese & roast potatoes. You got the impression the chef didn’t much care. Conclusion: won’t be returning in a hurry, if at all.

A beautiful property in a lovely Cotswold Village. The staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming. The meal at the hotel was delicious.

We enjoyed a very special tea by the fireside. The staff were friendly and attentive. A lovely experience on a winter's afternoon.

We have been visiting Buckland Manor for over thirty years. The hotel is lovely and comfortable. We were very well looked after by the staff especially Sue, Sam, Anna and Sarah. It is lovely to get to know the staff and reminisce about the great times we had when Nigel and Simon the previous managers were there. We still love visiting as it is like coming home! The breakfasts were lovely and the chef was very accommodating changing sauces as my husband has a garlic allergy. Thank you and we hope to see you again next year.

Breakfast food and staff were excellent. Staff were very friendly and engaging.

Evening meal food was not hot enough, our starters were given to the wrong table and despite going back to kitchen they were not hot enough when returned.

What an incredible joy to stay there. You step back in time, lovely building full of history. It’s so quite , we lived it. They have a great staff who makes you feel at home and makes you laugh. For sure we will come back in spring.

Absolutely nothing to dislike

Buckland Manor was just as magical on our second visit as it was on our first (back in 2017). Exceptional staff- all of them, outstanding service, and a truly beautiful setting made for another memorable stay. At Christmas, the decor is simply stunning! You genuinely feel as though you’ve stepped into a living Christmas card. We loved spending time in the lounge with the fires roaring; it’s the perfect backdrop for a glass of wine and a relaxed evening meal. Breakfast was delicious, and even the sandwiches and chips from the bar menu exceeded expectations. There’s a timeless elegance about Buckland Manor that makes you want to return again and again.

Too many things did bot work or work well enough, on example is there were no C or USB connectors and extra plug locations very weak. Nicer to have earlier breakfast, saun 7:00 am.

A wonderful old manor on the edge of the Cotswold Hills. Its peaceful atmosphere is augmented by professional and friendly staff, excellent food, and all the comforts of an English country house. My husband and I have returned many times and are never disappointed.

Amazing and authentic experience, wonderful staff and premises.

We spent six nights at Buckland Manor, a beautifully preserved country house nestled just minutes from Broadway. Its location is ideal for exploring the most picturesque villages in the Cotswolds, and Broadway itself—full of charming houses, excellent restaurants, and boutique shops—is a delight to visit. At Buckland, we stayed in one of their two Master Rooms. Spacious and elegantly appointed, it featured a comfortable king-size bed and a luxurious bathroom with heated floors, a deep soaking tub, and a separate shower. The manor’s lounge areas were equally inviting, offering several cozy spots to relax, have a tea or coffee or simply unwind with a drink before dinner. The on-site restaurant is very good, though the menu is fixed and doesn’t change throughout the week—a limitation if you’re staying for several days. Fortunately, Broadway’s many dining options are close by. On our final evening, the kitchen kindly prepared a special meal just for us, which was both thoughtful and delicious. Breakfasts were à la carte and served at the table—consistently excellent. The manor itself is steeped in character, with antique furnishings and classic décor that evoke the timeless charm of the Cotswolds. The gardens are lovely and must be especially enjoyable for outdoor drinks or meals in warmer weather. One seasonal quirk: during our stay, we noticed quite a few flies dying on the room floor—likely a result of the changing weather. It didn’t detract from the overall experience, but worth noting. The staff were unfailingly kind and attentive, always ready to help with a smile. All in all, it was a wonderful week. We wholeheartedly recommend Buckland Manor and would gladly return.

What a delightful hotel the staff go above and beyond to make you feel welcome and they do . The rooms are lovely and spacious and very very clean a credit to them. The gardens delightful a joy to walk around . Now for dinner well a fabulous chef interesting and delicious meal very well executed and breakfast a joy.

Beautiful location. Excellent breakfast. Lovely views. Can strongly recommend a visit.

Nothing.

Beautiful surroundings but not much to do on site. Very quiet and secluded. Standard of food and service very good Rooms however look and feel dated and require a refresh or at least better maintenance

Location and the area

Lack of variety in the menu.

Great staff and a good location. Lovely grounds.

Evening meal while delicious was expensive.

My wife and I stayed here for 2 nights and greatly enjoyed our stay. The staff were tremendous and very helpful. We had a classic room which was very comfortable. Our evening meal was lovely but don’t think it justified the £62 tag for 2 courses plus service. Nearby Broadway offered some good alternatives.

My fourth stay at Buckland Manor did not disappoint. Lovely accommodation with excellent shower. Service and public areas are great with excellent food and wine.

Great property..great fooo

Staff rushing you for dinner orders and dinner. Wine list not substantial

Overall our stay was enjoyable and the staff were very courteous at all times. Our room was comfortable and clean but there were areas, particularly in the bar area which were very dusty, in particularly under the table where the menus sat and the adjacent chair. There is not really a true bar area where we might have congregated with other guests and during the time we did sit there the “barman” only appeared briefly once! Breakfast was great but didn’t experience an evening meal as the menu had no appeal

lovely old house in stunning location etc BUT this hotel is completely let down by the food (and to a certain extent by indifferent service). Dinner at £85 for 3 small courses, with vegetables and potatoes charged extra!! No. The second night we ate in Broadway, excellent all round. Breakfast OK except for the very small offerings of yogurt, cereal and my "fruit salad" was beyond a joke, just chopped up apple, one grape in orange juice. Truly dreadful and the waiter said nothing when I remarked on it. This was not good value, drinks too are way overpriced, spirits and wine alike. I cannot recommend much about this place.

My husband and I were greeted by a lovely staff when we arrived and took care of our every need.The room was very English and soft comfortable beds with a view of the back garden.The evening meal and breakfast in their dining room did not disappoint!-Sam was exceptionally kind and enthusiastic. She helped us with the out of the way address we were visiting the next day and we would not have made the luncheon without her assistance with the AA route.I would recommend this hotel for the future!-Peaceful and a Country House Hotel experience!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a truly delightful visit to Buckland Manor. The staff were warm, attentive, and welcoming, which made us feel immediately at ease. The service was excellent throughout, and the food was absolutely outstanding — beautifully prepared and full of flavor. A wonderful experience all around!

Hotel is beautiful and food is excellent

There is a limited choice of four unchanging main courses on the set menu, though there was a "special" available one evening. No a la carte menu was offered. No chance of a Michelin Star as things stand. The standard of housekeeping was somewhat patchy, with used towels left in the bath one day.

Excellent English Aristocracy experience

Everything was good

Buckland manor is the quintessential English country house hotel. Not especially smart and some of the furnishings do not bear too close an inspection, but incredibly welcoming and comfortable. The sort of place one could easily settle down in for the winter. And the food is of a very high standard indeed - not ultra fancy just excellent ingredients very well cooked and presented. Also a well curated, sensibly priced wine list. I would very happily return.

Our third visit here in just under three years. First time was great, second was so-so. We gave them a chance for a third visit and oh my, shame on us. Figured the beautiful setting would be enough if we just ate at the restaurant once or twice for dinner instead of every night. Didn’t even get that far. Unpacked our bags and went to outdoor bar area for a drink as it was getting to late afternoon. Server ignored us for first 10 minutes despite walking right by us several times to tend to a small spattering of guests. Finally asked whether we wanted something and told him a bar menu. Went and got it for us five minutes later and then took our order another five minutes after that. All told, about 25 minutes to get a couple of lukewarm glasses of champagne. And with zero greeting, smiles, or anything to make us feel welcome at the hotel. Just a sour demeanor all around despite the hotel not having many guests. Had our own bottle of champagne so decided to chill it and then take it out to enjoy in a back bench area of their expansive property where other guests could not see us as the rooms have no outdoor space of air conditioning. Was told we could not do that without paying a 45-pound corkage fee. Decided to go for a walk. Toured the property, which had deteriorated visibly since our prior stay, with the grass, plants and even some trees appearing dead or dying. After returning, I went to our room to ready for dinner. My wife went to complain to active duty manager about the corkage fee, given the high price we were already paying for our room. Turns out he was the food and beverage manager. Suffice to say, he sat there grinning at her the entire time, citing hotel “policy” and not bothering to even get up from behind the chair he was leaning back on. We promptly cancelled our dinner reservations, figuring our intro to restaurant staff was hardly a positive indicator of what a meal would be like. Had a great meal in town and decided we value our money too much to burn it on mediocrity. This hotel just feels off and unwelcoming and needs to spend a little money upgrading its grounds and interior rather than trying to squeeze every last drop out of guests. Informed the hotel the following morning we were leaving one night into our four-night stay. Went to Foxhill Manor nearby instead and had a true first class, five star experience. It was like comparing an F-16 to a paper hand glider. Leaving Buckland early cost us more than we would have paid had we just kept our reservation. But life is too short to waste valuable vacation days on a place that is not invested in itself, let alone guests. Advice to all. This place is tired. The staff appear tired. This is a misrepresented luxury hotel and not at all representative of the Relais & Chateau brand, which we patronize several times per year in various countries. Cut the room rate in half and maybe you can tough it out. But for nearly 800 pounds per night? Please. We will always fondly remember our first trip here. Our last will always serve as a cautionary tale to go with our instincts.

Buckland Manor was spectacular. The staff was amazingly helpful. They even helped us deal with a parking ticket we got in Oxford and arranged an spur of the moment tour of the gardens with the gardener Thomas which was informative and fun. The food was spectacular! Our room was lovely and included a huge bathroom. There are activities that you can choose in all seasons. Our son and friends stayed at Buckland over Thanksgiving and recommended it to us. They loved it and so did we. Dont miss this place!

We had a wonderful stay, lovely hotel and grounds and the staff were very welcoming and considerate.

Expensive hotel not justified by dinner at a basic price of £85.Handicap rooms have open shower.Staff excellent and helpful.

A beautiful hotel in an historic English manor. Luxury and tranquility combined with a 5 star restaurant make this a special experience.

Casa o antigua bien inglesa . El restaurant muy bueno

Beautiful setting, attentive, friendly staff literally going out of their way to be helpful.

すばらしい環境と広い部屋、美味しい食事にフレンドリーなスタッフ

We visited Buckland Manor for one night. The grounds did not disappoint. Picturesque English countryside at its best. We were greeted by Sam, the friendly front desk person who also helped us book our room from Canada. It isn’t easy in England to find a room for two adults and a tall teenager! We were allocated a room with a king bed (actually two twins pushed together) and a small adjoining room with the same bed configuration which was perfect for our 6’5” son. Given the rating and price of this hotel, I expected a high level of attention to detail, and that’s where the hotel fell short. The first thing I noticed when I walked into our room was the heat (it was 30 degrees outside and 29 degrees in our room) and the stains on the carpet. But it’s an old building, so I let it go. I couldn’t wait to see the modern bathroom described on the website but turning on the lights in the bathroom revealed a very dirty floor (no excuses here - it just hadn’t been washed!). We mentioned it to the front desk. They said they would have it cleaned when the cleaning staff came in later. After they cleaned it, it was a slight improvement, but still very dirty. It required more than a quick mop! Then, when I went to have a shower, the water pressure was good but the drain in the shower didn’t work and I nearly flooded the whole floor so I had to cut my shower short. Back to the front desk I went! They said they would send the cleaning staff to fix it. Had the staff taken the time to wash the bathroom/shower prior to our arrival, they would have noticed that the drain wasn’t working. Sam was apologetic, but apart from offering to remediate, nothing was done or offered for the inconvenience (this is not Canadian customer service!). We had made reservations for dinner, but a quick look at the menu told us that it wasn’t the best option for our teenager, so we chose to go in the nearby village of Broadway for dinner which turned out to be a very good decision. We loved it. When we got back to our hotel, around 10 pm, the heat in the room was oppressive. We were provided with fans, but they really didn’t help and it was a very uncomfortable night. When it was time to get ready for bed, upon drawing the curtains i was met with ripped and frayed curtains. It felt like we had been given a room that had been neglected and perhaps not used in a while. In the morning, we had the included hotel breakfast which had a good selection and was tasty. We had lattes, fresh juice, pain au chocolat, fruit salad, yoghurt, avocado toast with poached egg, full English breakfast and toast. The breakfast linen serviettes were frayed and tatty (again, no attention to detail) and the chairs were dirty. Apart from Sam who was lovely and apologetic for our bad luck, we found the staff to be mostly unfriendly. I understand that sometimes things go astray in the service industry, but I felt like this was above and beyond what is acceptable and I was very disappointed that we were not offered more to make up for the huge blunder. Sometimes “sorry” isn’t enough. We paid for level of accommodation and service that simply wasn’t there.

Location and staff

Nothing

My second time at Buckland Manor and I'm already planning a return trip. This wonderful property sits just steps from the Cotswolds Way and a short distance from other interesting villages and attractions. The service from arrival to departure is great, the food is just wonderful and the general environment is so lovely and peaceful. The rooms are well designed, incredibly clean and have wonderful views of the gardens and church next door. I can't say enough good things about this Relais & Chateaux property; it's one of my favorites in the collection.

Buckland is always a gem. Definitely recommend the dinner there. Will come back again for sure.

FABULOUS PLACE! A bit of old England!!!

Charming hotel, loved it.

An old fashioned country house hotel with surprisingly good food. Decent size room. We were there just after new year. Plastic tree in our room. No turn down service. Small bottles of complimentary water. Plastic Christmas trees in the common areas and a rather off putting noisy air vented fireplace. Staff trying their best but a bit over stretched and some slightly heavy handed service - others charming. Pleasant dining room and surprisingly good food. While this hotel in the chain never seems to have had Michelin aspirations it’s really rather good. A surprisingly good gin martini No sommelier and a smaller wine list Practicalities Good parking No turn down service Small bottled waters Not enough hot water for two baths!!

Very weak to non existent wifi Same breakfast money every day Ingredients ran out for breakfast so they had to reduce quantities No AC in scorching summer heat Overpriced for what it is

Our stay was wonderful! Too short! Next time we'll stay longer.

Beautiful setting, historic and timeless. Lovely staff. Could not have been more kind or accommodating. Great location as a Gateway to explore the Cotswolds.

Nice overall ambience

Small room and tight for space. Restaurant and breakfast service very slow. No hairdryer in the room and telephone not working. No plug in the bath.

My husband and I spent two nights at Buckland Manor. The grounds are beautiful and the building has charm, but the furnishings seemed worn and the staff were not particularly friendly. Our meals at the restaurant were fine. Importantly, there is no air conditioning and it was very hot in our guest room. I would avoid staying here in the summer months.

I was on a solo walking trip through the Cotswolds and stayed at the Buckland Manor. The Manor is lovely with comfortable sitting rooms, beautiful grounds , and available outdoor eating , good bathroom amenities. A newspaper is delivered in the morning along with milk for tea or coffee. The staff is great..

We enjoyed our stay at Buckland Manor very much. The house, gardens and setting are beautiful and the hotel is conveniently located close to many charming villages in the Cotswolds. We were warmly welcomed upon our arrival by Hasini, and throughout our stay all of the hotel staff were friendly, helpful and attentive. We especially enjoyed our comfortable room and view of the gardens, walking the paths from the hotel to nearby villages, and the warm greeting each morning from Michael in the dining room and the delicious breakfasts. Our stay was truly special and we highly recommend Buckland Manor.
