I stayed at Cowley Manor with my husband and 2 small children. Beautiful setting in breathtaking Cotswalds. Relatively easy to reach from London. Relaxing atmosphere in beautiful mansion. Nice spacious bedroom and very large bathroom, ideal for a family of 4 with small children. However, I would expected a couple of the cliches you usually find in any hotel, especially... more

We booked 2 nights at Cowley Manor for a relaxing weekend away. We hoped for some good food, a nice room, spa treatments and a general relaxing 48 hours. Having stayed at a number of the UK 5 star Spa hotels; Babbingdon House, Barnsley House, The Grove, Seaham Hall, Four Seasons Hampshire, Whatley Manor I would say Cowley Manor overall... more

Having stayed at Cowley Manor many times in the past I feel we are well positioned to make a judgement on the current quality we recently experienced. It seems like either the manager has changed or the place has changed owners. On our stay in September, we experienced some disappointing issues. The food did not seem as good as it... more

The drive up to the hotel is nice but to arrive at the back door is dissappointing. Once inside it feels very basic and boring. Looks shabby as if it needs a complete make-over. The staff were very pleasant. The room was poor. No tea/coffee facilities in the room - even a travelodge has this! Was very expensive and very... more

Have just stayed here for 2 nights and would go along with most of the comments on here. Stayed in "Good" room which an excellent size as was the bathroom. Pretty much all you need although I would have preferred the room to have tea and coffee making facilities - perhaps this is seen as a bit "naff." Hotel itself... more

We stayed here for a couple of nights in mid week with our three year old son. The house and the grounds are great....we really enjoyed walking around the lakes and generally hanging out by the pool. I would say the pictures on the website do not do it justice. The inside of the house is very trendy, but in... more

Just returned from a 2 night mid-week stay with our 2 year old daughter. This is an immaculate country house in a beautiful setting. We had a Great room in the main-house and it really was great – good facilities (iPod docking station, DVD & CD players, flat-screen TV), enormous bathroom, great bed, fantastic views. I’m puzzled by the negative... more

Just come back from a couple of nights at Cowley Manor - We found the house and gardens very relaxing and the staff very friendly and happy to help. We went with our dog and rented one of the rooms in the old stables, this worked out well - plently of good footpaths and walks near the hotel. Food was... more

This was our third and last visit to Cowley. The place must have been sold. Not at all what it use to be. What was once a real chill out place were one could relax and wind down, has turned out to be some were you get wound up. Ok the spa is still the same, the rooms still great... more
