The Slaughters Manor House

Firstly, we marked it is honeymoon stay but there is no gesture of welcoming you for a honeymoon stay at all. We booked £310 for Deluxe Room per night in a rural area. They allowed us early check in but they don’t even write us a card for honeymoon stay or anything. We booked the restaurant at £80 per head but the menu is totally different from what shown online. It is not professional at all. They front office is also unfriendly to Chinese and the staff has a sense of hierarchy. I felt disgusting for it. The only good thing is the breakfast. Thank you.

Such a lovely, transporting stay at this beautiful country manor. The public areas are especially chic. The Nina room had an outstanding view and was huge; however, the plumbing was wonky with difficulty getting cold water and a shower that wasn’t scalding. One must run the water for a long time to calibrate it — contravening efforts to conserve. Also, the staff had difficulty checking guests out with any level of efficiency, so allow extra time for check-out.

We booked our dinner reservation for 7.30 and arrived just after 7.00 to enjoy a drink beforehand. We waited 20 minutes for someone to take our drinks order. We then waited a further 45 minutes for our meal order to be taken and having been shown to our table we eventually received our starters at 9.00pm! Whilst we were not in a hurry, diners should not have to wait 90 minutes from their booked table time to sample their first course. When it did eventually arrive, the food was excellent but dining at The Manor is not inexpensive and management do need to address these issues.

Just had a very disappointing stay at this hotel. Our delux room was up in the eves of this large property up many stairs and corridors. Two small windows with very limited view of, anything. Furniture shabby and chipped. TV not tuned correctly so no channels displayed.. Bathroom good size, decent shower but cheap toilet paper. Strangely the cold tap also ran hot!! While there our room wasn't serviced iether. Now the food. Small intense portions, jumbo fish the size of two postage stamps. Enjoyed the fresh homemade bread at the evening meal though. No buffet starters for breakfast, everything had to be ordered, so waiting long periods for each item to arrive again smoked haddock 2 postage stamps. Surely a hotel of this size could run to a small buffet for cereals and juice etc. The toast was thin, cheap and underdone. As a bonus I found the snooker room, lovely table, spoiled by having only 2 cheap pool cues to play with. Be aware, most items ordered in the bar carry a £5 service charge which we only discovered on checkout final bill. The one redeeming feature of this hotel was the staff, friendly, accommodating, hard working and professional. So an expensive, disappointing, irritating few days, we will not be returning.

Firstly the staff was amazing, they went above and beyond to help in anyway they could my disabled in-laws who said they felt so special, so a deep thanks from us. Side note: we had an electric car and would be helpful for an on-site charger (the goverment has a £5k grant available, just thought I would mention it) clearly didn’t impact our stay just worth a mention.

We were booked for afternoon tea at3.00 .The service was poor tea arrived at 4.45 after chasing the staff three times. The food was mediocre to say the least and was very expensive for what was received. Also certain members of staff were rather rude

A lovely location and a lovely hotel. Staff are all excellent with service as needed without being over attentive. Just perfect. Can't wait to visit again.

Our previous visit to Lower Slaughter led us to choose The Slaughters Manor House due to its prime location. While the hotel and the village of Lower Slaughter are undoubtedly beautiful, our recent stay left us feeling quite disappointed. On arrival we were thinking of potentially booking the hotel for Christmas and how lovely this might be, we are not now. Our room, Stowe in the coach house, was pretty and spacious, the bathroom could not be faulted, however the mattress was extremely uncomfortable. It sloped towards the headboard, making it necessary to pile on numerous pillows to try to achieve a horizontal sleeping position. Over our two-night stay, our room was not tended to at all. The bed was left unmade, and the water and tea supplies were not replenished. Although someone did enter the room to place two new cookies, no other housekeeping was carried out. The young lady serving at the bar was friendly and helpful, but the bar was not consistently manned, requiring us to call for service. While the sandwiches we ordered from the bar were tasty, the filling was disappointingly minimal, mostly consisting of bread. Given the price, we expected a more satisfying ratio of filling to bread. The breakfast service was particularly poor, with only two individuals attending to the guests. We waited an exceptionally long time for our tea and toast, and our breakfast was served a lengthy 40 minutes later, (the table next to us had since departed after having enough of waiting) this was despite the restaurant not being very busy. The quality and presentation of the breakfast did not meet our expectations either. To add to the disappointment, a couple were being shown around the hotel and proceeded to stand next to our table, discussing wedding venue details with a member of the hotel staff while we were trying to eat. It was disheartening to have such a disappointing experience, especially in a hotel as beautiful as this. Our mini-break at The Slaughters Manor House sadly did not live up to our expectations.
