"I discovered a hidden gem of a hotel during my trip, and I highly recommend it. The rooms are even more beautiful than the photos on the official website. The food in the hotel restaurant is absolutely delicious. The environment is clean, tidy, and well-equipped. It's about an hour's drive from Bourton-on-the-Water and Bibury. Stepping into the town feels like entering a medieval paradise. It's a pity my itinerary was too tight, otherwise I would have considered staying a few more nights to explore the surrounding area's beautiful scenery and delicious food."

"We drove all the way from London to WHATLEY MANOR, the location is really rural bit quiet. IT IS A VERY BEAUTIFUL MANOR SINCE 1929. We booked a suite room and upgraded to extra single bed for my son and cost 150£, which is considered very expensive. We booked for 2 nights and it cost us 1500£, [ breakfast included ] in my opinion is very pricey for this location. I think their selling points are spa, sauna, thermal room , hydro pool but for Asian , it is too common for us.The beds are very comfortable, room is very spacious and cozy, provide good quality amenities. They have really beautiful garden good for walking and reading books. Beside price, everything is good."

"Having stayed at The Horse and Groom on several occasions, we knew what to expect, although the pub had been taken over by Phil and John only days before we arrived. The pub, as far as location goes, is on it's own, but close to Malmesbury. As long as you have transport, you are fine. When we arrived, the pub was very busy with locals who were there to watch the rugby. Neverless, we were greeted by a really friendly young barman and then by John (the co-owner), who served us. We were then checked in by Phil. The pub itself is still the same as it was when we first started staying here approximately five years ago, and this is part of it's charm. We ate here on our first evening, and the food was really good, in fact, better than the last time we stayed, when we felt that the standard of food had gone down. After speaking with Phil, we shared our thoughts regarding the menu. The menu is limited, but, saying this, what is on there is of really good quality and standard, pub grub, but on another level. I wouldn't change a thing on it! Phil mentioned that they may do a specials board at some point, which seems like a good idea. Breakfast was good, although we weren't given a menu. I'm sure that in time, there will be one. The rooms are adequate, clean and tidy, but have not been refurbished since our first stay, approximately five years ago. The bathroom definitely needs a re-fit, but I'm sure this is something that the new owners, Phil and John will consider as time goes on. We had a good chat with Phil and John, who, as I said, had only taken over the pub a few days before we arrived and had hit the ground running. I think they will do really well. They are two very genuine guys and I'm sure that they will make a real success of the pub. Well done and we wish you all the best for the future. We will return!"

"I stayed in the stable rooms at the back of the hotel. They were clean, warm and the shower was great. The staff were so helpful and kind, and I managed to book very last minute. Fantastic would go back and recommend if in the area again."
