We visited for Sunday lunch and were not disappointed. The service we received was outstanding - we were warmly greeted at the front door, shown to a lovely spot in the garden and immediately shown both the drinks and food menus. We were brought some crisps and olives whilst we waited for the complimentary canapés and when it was time for lunch our drinks were carried into the dining room. Service continued to be both attentive and unobtrusive and the tables were well spaced. Lunch was very good and beautifully presented. All in all, a first class experience in this beautiful and immaculate spot of rural Gloucestershire.

I knew Buckland Manor was going to be special, but it even exceeded that. With only something like 15 rooms, each guest is special. It is one of the few manors-made-into-hotels that still retain a lot of the original interiors and even furniture. One armoire in our room dated from 1730-something. The bath was perfect, with a separate tub and shower. What was really special about Buckland was the meal service. The breakfast was even better than we had at the 5* Hotel Stafford in London. Before dinner, you are brought cocktails and hors d'oerves in one of the parlors, then the wine list and menu. You order dinner while you are enjoying your cocktail and go to the dining room whenever you wish. No dinner check to review or sign, no tip to worry over, just go to your suite when you are done. The food was expertly prepared. The gardens are fabulous and the old church immediately next door make a perfect setting. The town of Buckland is totally non-touristy, with only about 100 inhabitants. I've stayed in a number of 4-5* hotels in our wordily travels, and none were as unique as Buckland Manor. Treat yourself.

Room was excellent, restaurant also excellent and the service was first class. For an overnight stay in the Cotswolds it is really good.

Beautiful English Country Hotel with fabulous gardens and super food. This was a birthday treat for me and the staff and the hotel were absolutely fabulous. I cannot fault the location, the quality of the food, wine and the surroundings- it is truly beautiful

If you want a lovely, comfortable and unique Cotswold hotel experience, then Buckland Manor is the place to go. Nothing is too much trouble for the attentive staff. My room was delightful and comfortable. The cuisine is excellent and the restaurant service good. Perhaps a slightly expanded menu would be welcome.
