Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons, A Belmond Hotel, Oxfordshire
OXFORD, ENGLAND, UNITED KINGDOM
Our take
Raymond Blanc's obsession made stone: two Michelin stars, a cookery school, and gardens that shame most botanical collections. This is where you come to eat seriously, sleep beautifully, and slow entirely down. The manor rewards those who surrender to the ritual — long lunches, afternoon light through the walled garden, nowhere urgent to be. If you're treating a hotel as a launchpad for sightseeing or need a gym and a rooftop bar, look elsewhere. Two nights minimum. Book the tasting menu before you book the room.
Notable Features
- Michelin-starred restaurant
- Raymond Blanc Cookery School
- Exquisite English gardens
💡 Insider Tip
"Enroll in a cookery class for hands-on experience with produce from the hotel's own gardens."
Overview
Created by celebrated chef Raymond Blanc OBE, Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons, A Belmond Hotel is renowned for offering one of Britain's finest gastronomic experiences.
Situated in the picturesque Oxfordshire village of Great Milton, it is also one of the country's most cherished manor house hotels, with 32 individually designed guest rooms and suites.
The hotel received two Michelin stars in 1984, the first year of its opening, and, remarkably, has held them ever since.
Surrounded by lawns, flower borders and orchards, the luxury hotel enjoys an idyllic, typically English setting. But beyond the eye-catching displays are vegetable and herb gardens that provide the kitchen—and the acclaimed Raymond Blanc Cookery School—with ultra-fresh, organic produce, ensuring the Michelin-star restaurant remains at the cutting edge of culinary excellence. Our gardens also home Averies with our very own Birds of Prey and The Raymond Blanc Gardening School where guests will learn the secrets of our world-class gardens and take home our advice, ideas and inspiration for their own vegetable plot or allotment.
Sustainability Initiatives +
Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons: where gastronomy, gardens and culture come alive, and where we engage guests with more responsible eating, drinking, being, year round. A 15th-century manor turned 32-bedroomed hotel in exceptional rural surroundings, this two-Michelin-starred restaurant, cookery school and gardening school, has been providing heart-felt nature-loving hospitality since 1984, pioneering positive impact without even realising. With over 200 people in our team, Le Manoir is a place of passion, training and mentorship, where great hospitality professions are shaped continually, where our mindset has always modelled sustainability as a complement to culinary excellence. Led by Chef-Patron, Raymond Blanc OBE, Le Manoir has always been grounded in a more eco way of being. Born out of a personal ethos, seasonality, foraging, and avoiding waste have always been part of a greener, more holistic approach.
Le Manoir launched the creative culinary concept of exquisite purity: the complexity of Michelin cuisine made simple. Garden Gastronomy is the name of our signature, seasonal low-food-mile style of cooking. We champion the union of innovation, circularity, culture and seasonality of home-grown ingredients, to showcase cooking that involves plants and proteins in a way that is constantly evolving but always linked to the most local flora. We pride ourselves as being caring custodians of history, our community and the health of our ecosystem.
