We stayed at Whatley Manor for 2 nights in December 2004, it is an excellent hotel in a period building, which means that it is not possible to install air conditioning. This is the second time that we have stayed there the previous time being about ten years ago at the edge of the season. At that time we found that the heat of the bedroom was unbearable, after complaining they did install a portable unit which was hopelessly inadequate. So this time we chose December as it would be a cold month with the airconditioning not being an issue. How wrong we were, my wife can't sleep if she is sweltering so she got very little sleep, I managed but was not comfortable despite it being cold outside. The staff were excellent no issues with them at all, Greys restaurant was awful I gave it one star on tripadvisor but would have given it a fraction of a star if it had been available. However the michelin restaurant and staff were excellent. The rooms are very comfortable. I would recommend it providing that you go in the winter or are able to sleep in such heat. It has the atmosphere of the F Dorchester or Ritz in London, we have stayed at all the top hotels in London and it compares on a par with those nearly, not quite. I can't imagine the restaurants in either of those hotels or Claridges or the Lanesborough serving up the rubbish that we were served with at the Greys restaurant at Whatley. IF we go again we will just eat at the michelin restaurant, but there are plenty of other better places to stay in the area, Raymond Blanc's Manoir for instance.

Always drive past and the cafe looks lovely so popped in. We ordered a full English breakfast each with coffee, the man behind the counter did not come across welcoming or friendly. They seemed to be short staffed, but the member of staff said it’s always like it. Our breakfasts arrived and were put down on the table without the waiter saying a word and briskly walked off, we had to go and ask for salt and ketchup. The menu stated homemade baked beans, which sounded great but when they arrived they were slightly spicy. I think it would state that on the menu. Dry toast with no butter, we like ‘farmshop’ sausages but we both thought these tasted almost powdery. Scrambled egg was tasteless. None of the staff came to check how our food was, we ate half of our food and left. We eat breakfast out a lot and were very disappointed.

Unexpectedly good ... The Angel looks nice enough on their website. Most places do. But the location, decor, welcome and food in reality were all way above expectation. The courtyard garden doesn't seem to have many photos online - it's the star of the show tucked away from the spacious dining area. It's dog friendly, which was a bonus. Service is fast, but eggs royale, eggs benedict and pulled pork bap better than you'd expect in a very decent London hotel. Spotlessly clean but with Cotswold chic vibes. I'm tired of so many places in the area now charging £22 for a £15 brunch plate. Loads of options here for under a tenner, a bit more if you dive into the delicious Basque cheesecake like I did. It completes every breakfast, really. Top Marks to the Angel, which isn't really a cafe, but I'm not sure what word describes it better.

Sunday lunch was what I booked, not a tasting menu!! Gravadlax starter. Maybe 20 grams of dry salmon. No bulk, no taste. Roast beef for mains. Maybe 60 grams of beef. Too little to taste, literally one mouthful of meat. First and last visit, a shameful presentation of a traditional Sunday lunch. I would be embarrassed to take guests to this. Many restaurants/pubs offer better. For top class Sunday lunch try the Millstream at Marden or the Mayfly at Fullerton. Top quality beef, vegetables and consistent quality. So disappointed with Greys

Finally a real pub! An-all-year-round winner! Not your typical Cotswolds herringbone decor with silly pompous menus that never deliver. This place is unassuming and has hints of quirky at first sight but walk in the doors and It has everything a real pub should have. Regulars, diners, attentive staff, great bar and amazingly well cooked, made-from-scratch food. The vibe is buzzing and lively but doesn’t interfere. The gardens out the back are huge - with chalets and camping as well as a very cool huge barn for parties. I’ve now been there a few times to eat and drink. I must have tasted most of the regular dishes by now and it’s all great. Every part of the Sunday roasts are delicious . I highly recommend this place!

Been here before some while ago so thought I would treat my partner to Sunday lunch big mistake felt invisible to the staff who became even more unprofessional when we asked to move we were sitting in the window which was freezing restaurant wasn’t busy but lady hugged and puffed as though it was all too much trouble. We had to ask to order drinks then over looked when it came to food. Such a disappointment ending a good weekend on a bad note.

My family and I (two adults and a child) recently visited Whatley Manor for afternoon tea 09/10/23. Unfortunately, our experience fell far short of expectations, prompting this review. Despite booking a regular afternoon tea, we were charged £43.50 instead of the confirmed £37.50, citing a festive surcharge. Disappointingly, there were absolutely no noticeable festive elements to justify this added cost. Upon arrival, we were seated at a stark white, unadorned table, devoid of any seasonal decorations or even water glasses. The music being played just after we arrived wasn’t festive either. Our initial drinks and food were served promptly but for £140 (the entire amount of food in the attached photo), the value was awful. It consisted of three stale items, the Battenberg slice if you’re interested, accompanied by minimal service (no follow up on food and additional drinks and we had to go and find staff to ask to pay the bill) and a complete absence of the promised festive ambiance which after all was what the surcharge was for. Overall, this was an expensive and unsatisfactory afternoon tea experience. We have since had the festive surcharge refunded which we appreciate but I wouldn’t go back again or recommend the afternoon tea as an experience I’m afraid.
