The setting
"Lords of the Manor" is in the countryside near Stow-on-the-Wold, about 4 km from the town centre.The surrounding roads are quiet, lined with dry stone walls and vast sheep pastures, and a short drive will take you to the Cotswolds villages built of honey-coloured stone. The atmosphere here is more peaceful and rural than bustling. The neighbouring village is within walking distance of the hotel, but a car is more convenient for exploring more distant locations.
What to expect
This is a 4-star country hotel with a bar, restaurant, massage rooms, and a children’s playroom.

Your 3 days, loosely planned
Suggestions, not orders. Tour ideas to mix and match for your trip.
Arrival, gardens and a slow dinner
If you arrive by car during the day, park in the free parking lot and make yourself comfortable in your room while the water boils in the kettle. Relax after your journey by taking a stroll around the hotel grounds or along the small paths near the Old Mill. If you’d like to book a massage before dinner, please make an appointment at the massage parlor. After enjoying a cocktail at the bar, you can savor dinner in the restaurant’s relaxed atmosphere. After dinner, you won’t have to go anywhere else.
Stow-on-the-Wold and Cotswold villages
Then head on to Bourton-on-the-Water to admire the river and bridges, or take a leisurely stroll among the honestone cottages near “Slaughters.” After lunch at one of the village pubs, head home via a short detour along the country lanes.
Old Mill walk and unhurried checkout
On your last morning, why not take a stroll to the nearby Old Mill? Capture the stone bridge and the stream on camera. When you return to the hotel, order a coffee in the lounge and take your time packing your bags. If you’re travelling with children, let them play to their hearts’ content in the playroom before you leave. Before you check out, take some time to stroll through the garden one last time.
