"Chef Raymond Blanc’s gourmet retreat in a transformed 15th-century stone manor set amid 27 acres of gardens, 65 minutes northwest of London." Full review
Independent "Yes, it’s 12 miles out of town, but if ever there was a reason to taxi into the city, this is it: a 15th-century Chiltern manor house that’s spent the past 35 years as a two-Michelin-starred temple to food, thanks to owner Raymond Blanc (who runs a cookery school, plus a gardening school, onsite)"
Independent "Everything at Le Manoir smells edible, from the garden trails to the soaps in your room. Rooms and suites each have a striking character...expensive marble bathrooms, tree-shaded private terraces"

Independent "Expect individually designed rooms; some flouncy, some rustic, and some modern or masculine. You’ll also be treated to beautiful, wanderable gardens."
Independent "Offering a flourish of France in Oxfordshire, Le Manoir, helmed by culinary maestro Raymond Blanc, has long been a foodie pilgrimage site"
