We booked a suite at the Manor and were not disappointed. The bedroom, bathroom, and living room were lovely and spacious. We really enjoyed using the swimming pool daily, as the weather was poor and there was nothing else to do. You have to come by car, as we experienced, you are pretty much trapped if you decide to rely on taxis. My first disappoin**ent with the staff came before arriving, when I asked about transportation and mentioned Uber. The rude lady laughed at me loudly, saying this was the Cotswolds. The hotel refuses to help you with transportation, providing you with a list of taxis to phone yourself. The next shock came at dinnertime our first evening. I was hoping to be able to visit the village the next day and have dinner there, which turned out impossible. There are no available taxis in the area unless booked well in advance. This meant we didn't make a reservation for an early dinner the next day, and they could only offer dinner at 7.30. That is too late for someone travelling with a small child. We asked if we could have a room service, and the same rude lady said they do not provide room service. As it happened, we overheard the couple sitting next to us getting roomservice, as the young lady was feeling uncomfortable in crowded surroundings. The only offer we got was to eat cold sandwiches for dinner next evening. I should mention that my luggage was badly damaged after being taken to our room. I phoned the management and left a message with our grievances, at which the manager replied that we should have booked early dinner well in advance, and that he is sorry our luggage was damaged. We are very underwhelmed by the aloofness the staff and management treat their guests. For 280 pounds a night, I expected something more professional and a better care of their guests. I find the Manor grossly overrated and would certainly not come again.
