This archetypal Cotswolds manor house, just outside Bourton on the Water, occupies a seventeenth century property that’s nowadays part of Andrew Brownsword’s hotel group. The cuisine – under chef Nik Chappell – wins a consistent thumbs-up (“we do enjoy going here... results can be a bit hit and miss, but are mostly good! while service is very good and the dining room attractive”). As well as a fairly pricey à la carte (three courses for £80) there’s a relatively affordable all-day menu served in the bar and lounges (with dishes such as omelette Arnold Bennett, steak, posh sarnies, and so on).

“A beautiful venue” – this stunningly located manor house hotel (operated by the Brownsword group) boasts a “light and airy” dining room, which – on limited feedback – continues to produce “excellent results” from chef Nik Chappell, who presides over a three-course menu of admirably straightforward intent (no endless tasting menus here). Not in the mood for haute cuisine? Hop across the idyllic stream near the property to visit their “family-friendly Inn with a waterside setting and large outside dining terrace, offering standard pub fare done well”.

For 33 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).
