Whatley Manor is set in the beautiful Cotswolds - surrounded by absolutely stunning gardens. With 3 restaurants including a 2 Michelin starred restaurant - where they cook a state of the art energy efficient kitchen and have their own beef farm on site where they source their cows - run by the local hobby farmer Tom - all their produce is locally sourced where possible and even their plates and bowls are replaced with sustainable solutions like bowls made from recycled coconuts.
They have clever solutions like using the warm air being pumped out of the extractor fan from the kitchen to blow out on to the planted herb and vegetable nursery they have out the back to stop the plants from freezing in the colder months. You visit their lush green house and see all the vibrant vegetables and herbs they are growing to be used in their restaurant kitchens.
Throughout the evening the amazing sommelier brought us delicious wine pairings = all of which were natural wines many sulphate free and many amazing wines from the UK.
In the bathrooms you'll find delicious Molten Brown products and that single use plastic is a thing of the past! They have special water efficient shower heads fitted in the showers providing you with an amazing shower experience but saving a huge amount of water.
The Spa has divine thermal baths and an amazing pool, again they have made huge efforts to conserve water in their spa and switch to locally made natural products when having a therapy.
The staff are some of the friendliest and most welcoming people I have ever come across at a hotel, this adds a hugely important element to an already wonderful experience - making you feel good inside as well as outside!
If you're committed to sustainability, but looking for luxury, comfort, and a generally uplifting experience, Whatley Manor would be an amazing place to stay.
