Hotel Review
Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons, Oxfordshire
WHAT WE LOVE...
Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons looks so classically English, with a lavender-lined path leading to a honey-stone Oxfordshire manor. But with both boules and croquet on the lawn, there's a hint of the marriage of French and British culture inside - a fantastical world created by two Michelin-starred chef Raymond Blanc. You know the food is going to be good, then, but there is another wow factor: the chef has let his creative passion in the kitchen spill out into the bedrooms, which are inspired by his travels and his past. Service isn't too snooty, but it still manages to be impeccable - Blanc ensures that everything is as perfect as a hotel can be.

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.

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.
