Harden's survey result
Summary
Relais & Châteaux’s “really nice country house hotel restaurant”, with a quintessential Cotswolds vibe, where chef Will Guthrie delivers “top-notch cooking” that is English to the core but not without innovation (and features the bounties of the county's market garden, the neighbouring Vale of Evesham).
Summary
“A first class experience from the warm welcome on arrival” – this Relais & Châteaux country house hotel is the epitome of a traditional Cotswolds destination and “very efficiently run, but in a very charming and stylish way”. William Guthrie and his team deliver “wonderful” updated cuisine, be it from the three-course menu for £70, or the hardly more expensive seven-course taster option for £80. This is also a splendid choice for afternoon tea: “a little piece of calm luxury”.

Summary
“Top-end fine dining by long serving chef William Guthrie” helps distinguish the dining room of this “dream of a Cotswold Manor House Hotel in a gloriously isolated setting” (a Relais & Châteaux property). Both lunch and dinner have à la carte and tasting options: “splash out on the accompanying wine flight and you will remember the experience long after you forget the cost!”
For 31 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).

Buckland Manor Restaurant Diner Reviews
"To be frank the place is looking a little tired and could certainly do with a spruce up. Beautiful setting and grounds, the house is lovely but tired. The food was good'ish but certainly could have been better. The service was good but without the food being equal it is hard to give it a good review I am sorry to say"
