Lower Slaughter Manor
Style Refined country seat
Setting Gloucestershire’s prettiest village
Luxe drapery in opulent fabrics – yup. Sexy aubergine and taupe colour scheme – check. Enormous, Princess-and-the-Pea-dimensioned bed – can’t miss it. Lower Slaughter Manor knocks the traditional formula for rural retreats on its head, with all the boutique-hotel trimmings you'd expect of a designer pad in town. Only, instead of busy streets and high-rises, at this stately country manor in the Cotswolds you're surrounded by beautiful landscaped gardens, a tiny village and, beyond that, rolling fields. Perfection.

Our favourite rooms
For an extravagant weekend of romance, book one of the ground-floor Garden rooms in the Coach House: Valentine Strong is a decadent suite with a bathroom featuring twin roll-top baths that gives onto a private garden with a hot tub; Magnolia is a huge double with a freestanding bath and private garden. Deluxe and Master rooms on the second floor of the main house have wonderful views of the village; Mrs Smiths will love Longborough – it has a freestanding roll-top bath and a separate dressing room.
Packing tips
Slippers, robes and luxury toiletries are all provided. Bring your bathers if you fancy a dip in the hot tub, and activity-proof clothes if you want to try quad-biking, rock-climbing or any of the other more mud-prone outdoors options.
