Savour a seasonal seven-course menu and relax overnight at Raymond Blanc’s five-star hotel

On the outside, Le Manoir is a quintessentially English estate, with a tree-lined path leading to a honey-stone Oxfordshire manor house - the perfect spot for a cosy getaway.

This hotel is the vision of two Michelin-starred French chef, Raymond Blanc, so inside you'll find French influences, especially in the exquisite food.

Experience this unique establishment in its 40th year, celebrating one of the original garden-to-table experiences in the UK that remains one of our most innovative gastronomic destinations.

As Chef Patron, Raymond has created an exceptional culinary experience at Le Manoir, which celebrates the harvest of each season. Visit in autumn and marvel at the pretty orchards and kitchen gardens as they turn deep hues of gold and red, or enjoy a wintery walk exploring the Oxfordshire countryside. Right through the year, talented chefs create mouthwatering menus showcasing the finest ingredients harvested from within the garden walls.

You'll be welcomed to the estate with a glass of Champagne, and settle into your room. The 32 individually-designed bedrooms here are a marriage of the finest influences from around the world, each one drawing inspiration from Raymond's travels.

You'll get to enjoy the unique Le Manoir culinary experience, with a seven-course dinner in the two Michelin-starred restaurant included with our offer. To make your stay extra-special, you'll also tour the 11 gardens and orchards with a senior gardener, giving you a deep insight into your food and the sustainable growing practices at Le Manoir, which have earned them a Green Michelin Star.

In the morning you'll have breakfast included, which can be delivered to your room, before spending more time exploring the enchanting surroundings and enjoying the warm hospitality. Le Manoir promises a truly unforgettable retreat.

Style & Character

Gastronomes and gardeners, couples and families, or anyone wanting a relaxing hotel break where everything is just so will love it here. It's not cheap, but it's not all Mercs in the car park - Blanc's philosophy is that it should be accessible to everyone for a special occasion.

Service & Facilities

The gardens are offset perfectly by artwork - look out for Max, the image of an ill-behaved toff Blanc kicked out of his restaurant. Dogs are allowed in some bedrooms and public rooms; kennels are provided.

The hotel has three dog-friendly rooms, and provides chewy toys, a dog bed, bowls and sanitary bags.

Rooms

Even the sugar-coated almonds in each room are colour coded - that's the level of detail you can expect here. They are all beautiful, but Botticelli has a spiral staircase leading to a bathroom with two tubs and a gorgeous mural.

Food & Drink

We love that vegans and vegetarians get their own menu, and whichever menu you choose, you can match your dishes with wine flights. Every mouthful is memorable, but the risotto of wild mushrooms with perigord truffle is perfection on a plate.
