Along with my sister I spent months planning a surprise for my parents' 40th wedding anniversary in which we arrived at Cowley Manor by helicopter for Sunday lunch on the terrace. I can't rate the staff highly enough; they were quick to respond to emails, advised on the best way of scheduling everything and arranged lots of little details (such... More

Go to Cowley Manor for long weekend every year. Just a great place to relax with staff there when you need them rather than fawning over you, food is good and honest with a great fry up at breakfast. Great deals outside the fri / sat.

Stayed in stable room which was delightful, spread over three floors. Very well finished and stylish. The spa was lovely and particularly liked the spa music menu for during my massage; made a change from having to listening to pan pipes or bird song! Very pretty little chapel in grounds. Staff attentive and food good? Roads around hotel are very... More

It is genuinely, truly, amazing and we are planning our next trip. Be warned though.... macho types.... This will take a little while to adjust to, to acclimatise to. If you are... More

As soon as I got out of the car a member of staff offered to show me to recepetion, a good frist impression.... More

Went to Cowley Manor as a treat for daughter's 18th birthday as we live fairly close by. £85 each for full use of facilities between 5pm and 9pm plus a three course dinner in the hotel restaurant. Good value! I had a back massage and daughter had a mini facial. We were both impressed by the treatments. Staff were very... More
