WE LOVE

THE SLAUGHTERS MANOR HOUSE

Deep in the Cotswolds, this stylish hotel oers a contemporary interpretation of country life

T
ake respite from the
madding crowd in the
luxurious Slaughters
Manor House, set in the idyllic
Gloucestershire landscape. The
recently refurbished interiors by
Simon Morray-Jones Architects,
whose projects include Babington
House in Somerset, allure with
opulent textures of cut glass,
brass and leather furnishings.
Soft, chalky wall colours unite
the schemes, providing the
backdrop for velvet upholstery
in rich raspberry and zesty
lime that sets the tone for an
elegant cocktail in the lounge,
or alternatively for the more
restful palette of the snug (right).

NEED TO KNOW There are 19 rooms, including nine suites, with doubles from 176 a night,
including breakfast. The restaurant has three AA rosettes; dinner menus start at 55 for two courses.
There is a new billiards room, plus a tennis court and croquet lawn in the grounds. The Slaughters
