"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"

The Telegraph8.0
"A stylishly decorated boutique hotel in an 18th-century house opposite the Oxford Union buildings with smart, well-equipped rooms and friendly staff." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "It's all about location here which is a central as it gets in Oxford, but the best thing is the that despite that the hotel is surprisingly quiet." Full review
Independent "The style is a deliciously modern update of “traditional”, with wood-panelled walls painted in shades of cream and dove...location-wise, you couldn’t get more central."
