Stayed here for one night with my partner for our anniversary. We had an exceptional room which was rather fabulous, we didn't really like the mattress but I guess that is a personal taste. Views looked out onto the gorgeous lake and greenery, such a shame the weather let us down as it would have been super to sit on... More

I got married at Cowley Manor almost 2 years ago and am completely smug that my husband and I found such a perfect place that we can now go back to for every wedding anniversary. We married in the small Norman church within the grounds of Cowley Manor. Prior to the wedding, the parish vicar asked us to attend church... More

The Cowley Spa is consistently good. The 2 swimming pools the centre piece, and a sensitive policy on child use, so you can swim quietly without children from 5pm. But in fact the pools are usually pretty quiet.

My other half bought me to Cowley for my birthday. We arrived in perfect bank holiday weather to this stunning location and enjoyed a Pims and a sharing platter on the terrace overlooking the gorgeous grounds. We had a stunning room in the stable block on three floors the middle of which was dominated by the most fantastic bathtub. We... More

We have been to Cowley several times now and I felt it was time I left a review. Our stay was as always lovely: incredibly relaxing and a real break away from our busy lives. The rooms are all amazing, with everything you could think of and more (especially now they have tea & coffee facilities in the room with... More

We stayed at Cowley for three days and never left the grounds. The rooms are heavenly, particularly the bathrooms, complete with CD players and CDs. The food in the restaurant is Michelin level and the dining room is beautiful. The spa is a little haven tucked away from any wind or chills. The slate pool is stunning, as is the... More

We were given dinner and a night in an exceptional room, by our children, as a Ruby anniversary present. On arrival we were upgraded to the best room in the house with a bottle of 'bubbles on ice' in the room. We loved the whole experience, just look at the pictures of the "best room". The balcony was huge and... More

My basic problem with this place is that it seemed a little cheap and shabby. On the plus side, the staff were exceptionally nice, if rather inexperienced in many cases. And the house was very impressive, externally at least. However, once inside, you realise the place has been remodelled and interior designed by someone whose considers "modern/contemporary" to be more... More

We stayed at Cowley for five nights last week from Sunday to Friday and we enjoyed every minute! We booked as a special treat to celebrate my 30th birthday so we had high hopes for a great week as I had spent a long time choosing where to stay for the occasion. I chose Cowley as I liked the look... More
