This was our first visit since the change in ownership. Really enjoyed our stay and had a lovely room and breakfast. Couldn't be tempted by the menu for lunch and dinner though - apart from the scones. Fortunately there were lovely options (The Green Dragon and Knead) nearby which we felt were more us and better value. Please sort out your menu, Cowley Manor!

Absolutely beautiful concept and interior as well as the nature in the area, but away food. My daughter got food poisoning.

Fell way short of expectations
Booked based on photos on website which looked great but reality was far different. Room in stable block dark cold and gloomy - there was no working heating anywhere in block. Spa full of noisy children and pool time cut short as one was sick in pool! Breakfast was poor and lacked care and attention typified by both myself and wife having egg shell in ours eggs benedict. Was a relief to check out so we could enjoy the fabulous area. Wish we had stayed at the close by Green Dragon next time which we found much more hospitable with great food too
