Gorgeous stay. Beautiful spa (but make sure you book any treatments in advance as it’s busy) and a good gym. Breakfast is honestly the best I’ve ever had, so much choice and high quality ingredients. The staff are all wonderful.

A beautiful and historic property surrounded deep in nature, Cowley Manor gives me a luxurious and comfortable stay. The room is spacious with many thoughtful touches. I love the view from my room facing the pond and the greens. Staff is courteous, and dinner is delicious. This hotel is on the pricier side, but it’s worth the experience.
