no words to loose over the great hotel and surroundings, enough said; however the dinner was below what someone could expect from a house like this. Despite the high prices we got some unidentifiable starters, some frozen food for the main. We decided to cut things shirt and left for the pub just around the corner, where we - surprise,... more

My wife organised a surprise 70th birthday lunch for me at Cowley Manor. She chose it on the basis of its beautiful setting and expecting service to match its 5* status.

We had a lovely one night break here though I did feel that to make the most of the amenieties it would have been better to have stayed longer.

We had our wedding at Cowley manor and literally couldn't have been happier! Sarah (the wedding coordinator) was excellent and made us feel at ease and relaxed in the build up to the big day.

Had read about the C-Side spa and all it's glories, so chose the hotel because of this amenity and was pleased with the result. Cowley is the perfect retreat from hectic London, just an hour away by car but... more

We have just returned from a 5 day family break at Cowley having previously stayed at the hotel. We can summarise our stay at Cowley in 3 words; Fantastic, Fantastic, Fantastic! We have 2 boys aged 2 and half and 6 months old and we could not have stayed in a more wonderful and chilled out place to escape London... more

My girlfriend and I just returned from a two night stay at Cowley Manor and whilst I wouldn't normally bother writing reviews our stay at the hotel was so pleasurable I felt moved to do so! It really is a great place to get away from everything and relax. The service, from the welcoming front desk and bar staff through... more
