Most Wonderful Experience! Beautifully cared for and renovated manor house. Superb grounds, excellent breakfasts, bar with a nice feel and aesthetic. Our room was incredible. Unbeknownst to us, management upgraded our room to a garden suite, which took our breath away. The suite was huge and gorgeously appointed, as was the bathroom. We had a private patio with a firepit. Gracious staff ensured that we had firewood, tea, snacks…anything we needed. We will definitely be staying here again!

We sat at the breakfast table for 40 minutes before we had anything to eat the 2 hot dishes arrived at once. Service seemed haphazard. Reception kindly reduced the bill when we checked out.

This property is beautiful from the outside however the rooms are tired.
For the cost, the service is well below standard. All of the individual staff are lovely and trying very hard but it feels like there just aren't enough of them.
Our room was very damp and smelt musty on arrival. When we mentioned this to the front desk we were recommended to open some windows. Items that were asked to be laundered were later found balled up in a corner of our room and items leftover from room service forgotten to be cleared away by housekeeping.
Breakfast our first morning took nearly an hour due to understaffing and we watched staff scraping leftovers from other tables while we ate.
If you are a 'light sensitive' sleeper, do not book! There is a bright green emergency exit light (apparently in every room) that will stop you from sleeping. Nothing to be done about this apparently.

Good location quality. Service was lacking in breakfast room. Not great value for the price - at this price level you would expect better staff service (staff lacking at breakfast, reception staff are not very welcoming) and you would expect more than one small bottle of water in the room, better range of teas in the room. We had requested earlier check in but there was no flexibility on check in and out times.

Such a lovely, transporting stay at this beautiful country manor. The public areas are especially chic. The Nina room had an outstanding view and was huge; however, the plumbing was wonky with difficulty getting cold water and a shower that wasn’t scalding. One must run the water for a long time to calibrate it — contravening efforts to conserve. Also, the staff had difficulty checking guests out with any level of efficiency, so allow extra time for check-out.

Gorgeous small country house hotel

Having decided to extend our trip in the south west and finding our previous hotel had no availability to stay another night, we plumped for The Slaughters Manor House as we fancied heading back into The Cotswolds, which we love and most importantly they had a couple of rooms (suites) still available which was a result given it was the beginning of the Bank Holiday weekend (May).

As we had previously stayed in Upper Slaughter we thought Lower Slaughter had been somewhat neglected so TSMH was the natural choice for such seasoned travellers as ourselves (seasoned = mature :) We were not disappointed.

The Slaughters Manor House is a gorgeous little country house hotel in the most delightful location with a great name! We stayed in Kate on the first floor of the main house which was a wonderfully spacious and comfortable room complete with fireplace and four poster bed. All the staff were very helpful from Anton who manhandled our bags up the stairs to our suite, Paula who checked us in with great efficiency and Sue who makes the most deliciously sour cosmopolitan.

We will definitely return!

Tired and in need of some TLC.

The hotel impresses by beautiful buildings & lovely grounds. We also appreciated an upgrade due to our recent wedding celebration. Unfortunately, our potentially beautiful room was dirty - stains on the carpet, curtains, & bed throw… cobwebs in almost every corner…. broken glass on the floor in the bathroom. On the 1st day it took 40 mins from sitting down to breakfast to get a cup of coffee… During our stay, the front of the hotel was decorated with dead flowers from a previous month’s wedding...
They are obviously short-staffed and struggling - as are many hotels in this current climate - but when charging £595 a night, we feel we should expect excellent service, not 2* service in a 5* building.
We generally like to give a business the chance to put things right, so we spoke to the manager on the first day. The result was much better service the next day at breakfast (we worried that may have been at a cost to other guests), and the stains were removed from the curtains and carpet. Cobwebs were still present & our radiator remained adorned with dust. Perhaps because we hadn’t literally pointed it out…
As a token, the manager took the cost of one breakfast and £100 off our bill. On a bill of £1130 for two nights, that didn’t do the job.
The hotel need to do a great deal to their service in order to justify their current pricing and sadly, we won’t be returning.

A mixed review. We paid for a suite at a price of over £450 for one night but the room was not like the pictures. There were stains on the curtains the chairs and cobwebs behind the bed. And the hotel was having intermittent power cuts.

We asked to leave and the hotel agreed to refund us. No complaints about the staff or the refund process. They were really friendly. And the hotel and grounds otherwise look great. Wished we could have stayed as we think we would have enjoyed it. But when your paying the same price for a hotel in the rosewood you expect just a little more than what we received. I think that room just needed a little refresh and it would be top notch.

Great location.

Lovely location and amazing for walks.

We requested a firm mattress (at 11am when we reached the hotel) and we were told it would be arranged. When we returned at 5pm to check in, they didn’t provide that in the room which is very unfortunate when you are paying a premium price.

The lady in the evening was very helpful and provided a thin mattress to put on the floor which was very helpful. That being said it was an uncomfortable night.

I felt that we were misled.

Such a shame

Lovely staff , but very few of them. Two staff in reception, but only one computer, so we had to wait 15 mins to check in. Waited an hour to order breakfast as there was often only one waitress working in the dinning room. Dinner wasn’t great either for the money. My main portion was no bigger than the starter. The Dinning room is soulless , and the modernisation of the interior is crass in places. It was one of dream hotels and when we finally could afford to stay there for one night, it was a dreadful let down. Bedroom was a bit cramped but lovely bathroom and huge bath.

Lovely base for a mini Cotswolds break

Loved everything about our room - big, massive bed, roll top bath, powerful shower. (We stayed in Beech room in the old stable block) The Staff were lovely and super helpful. We enjoyed having breakfast delivered to our room in the morning, again nothing seemed too much trouble for the team there and all felt very Covid safe.
Enjoyed our autumn walk around and between lower and upper slaughter very much too.
Lunch at the sister hotel (the slaughters country inn) opposite was less impressive - good food but unhelpful staff and cold environment (we had to ask 3 times for them to light the fire next to our table so we could take our coats off!)

A nice stay but a little over-priced

We enjoyed our stay at the Slaughter’s Manor House. For the price of the hotel though - there were a few things lacking that stopped us from giving it five stars: 1) no alternative milks 2) only instant decaf coffee 3) on both mornings at breakfast the waiter forgot an item from our order 4) the room size was on the smaller front. But, we did have a nice stay and would return if we were able to get a deal that meant we weren’t paying £250+ and therefore expecting excellent service and amenities.

I understand the current situation but there are a few points I think that do need addressing. We had a dog with us and on arrival no one explained where dogs were allowed until we basically got collared walking back in to the main house by one of the staff.
The main issue I had with our stay is cleanliness. Considering we paid almost £600 for a couple of nights I noticed that the bathroom wasn't that clean with all the grout being horribly discoloured and some of the shower area just looked like it hadn't been wiped over in a while.
There are also no poo bins for dog waste anywhere around the building.
Having said that, the staff were lovely and always polite if a little slow. The quality of food was excellent and reasonably priced. The grounds are stunning and the buildings themselves are incredibly picturesque. All in all we did enjoy it but I can't help but feel the hotel relies a bit on the setting and the building itself to sell rooms.

Too hot,

I was ready to check out as soon as I arrived! The weather was warm and I was booked into an attic suite, which I was not thrilled about despite its size. Walking up two floors, it got hotter and hotter. The room was stifling and someone inexplicably had the radiators on and the towel rail in the bathroom!!! All the windows were only openable about three inches so there was no crosswind to be had. Returning after dinner staff had been in and closed all the Roman blinds so they made the room extremely stuffy and hot with no air. The only convenience we had was a fan. I was barely able to sleep and these days you cannot run a hotel of this supposed caliber without some airconditioning. The bathroom also had an unpleasant drains smell.

Under delivers at this pricepoint - Too expensive

The hotel looks lovely but it miss a lot of amenities at this price point, 375£ that I paid for my 1 night stay. To justify this price point the hotel would need a top notch SPA, potentially include dinner or something in that line. The room itself was OK, but I have stayed at English country hotels with much better rooms at much lower price tag - Just the fact that the bed was a 140 cm and that the shower only allowed for boiling hot water speaks for it self. The restaurant tries very hard with their 80 pound tasting menu didn't reach expectations... During my stay they further had 2 weddings booked, which they hadn't warned us about making the hotel feel more like Disneyland than a relaxing Cotswold's weekend. Lovely Portuguese bartender making up for bits of it.
