"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)"

"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"

"Expect individually designed rooms; some flouncy, some rustic, and some modern or masculine. You’ll also be treated to beautiful, wanderable gardens."
