There is a wonderfully laid-back vibe to the hotel with a real focus on comfort and, surrounded by over 50 acres of rolling parkland, it's a place to really get away from it all. Rooms are very spacious and stylishly designed, featuring bespoke furniture and fabrics from top British designers.
The award-winning on-site C-Side spa is a sight to behold with both indoor and outdoor pools and some fantastic treatments on offer - perfect if you're looking to pamper yourself. And the Malt restaurant and bar are incredibly inviting places to retreat to at the end of a hard day's relaxing.
Cowley Manor is very child-friendly with the Exceptional Rooms offering plenty of space for extra beds. There are also lots of games to keep little hands busy and dedicated children's swimming slots at the C-Side pool.
There are also a couple of pet-friendly rooms available and the property is available to hire for weddings.
Host story
Design, location and brand are important but it’s all about service. Luxury is about the servicebeing right, that you don't want for anything - you've got everything you need at your fingertips. You decide you want something, you call and the team here will arrange it for you. It's about the experience that you have that makes you come back and feel that you really understand a place better. That's the trick of travel, the trick of life philosophically – it’s about filling yourself with experiences.

We stayed a year ago to celebrate our wedding anniversary on a spa & stay package that included our room, dinner and a massage/use of the spa; this was to be a treat to my husband.The venue and grounds were beautiful and we received a really warm welcome at reception. We had lunch and drinks when we arrived which was all lovely. Our room was a generous size - the bathroom, in particular, was gorgeous. Sadly, we werent impressed with dinner at all - the meal was pretty bland as was the service although the setting was nice enough.We did enjoy a lovely breakfast in bed and were excited to finish off our stay at the spa but unfortunately we both found our massages were pretty mediocre; the masseuse seemed quite inexperienced.We felt Cowley Manor had alot going for it: the house, its grounds and the rooms in particular. As our first visit, the spa & stay package didnt meet our expectations and sadly promised more than it actually delivered - I hope if we were to return again, wed find an improvement.

The spa is excellent. Good gym, big pool. Rooms are nice. Get a private garden. Food was not great but staff are all lovely and attentive. Would go back.

I booked a table in the restaurant to celebrate the start of our Christmas break, we did the same last year. This year it just wasn't as good, the food or the ambience. The waiting staff were attentive, but I was very disappointed that not one of them was wearing a mask in the midst of the Omicron outbreak. I did not feel comfortable about being approached by any of the waiting staff. The food was nice enough, but not exceptional given the price tag. 15 scallops starter for just two scallops seems very expensive. The main courses were fine, but the desserts were a big let down, and honestly pretty tasteless. We had the artic roll and chocolate and orange posset. The restaurant itself was freezing! Everyone was cold, a table of a family of five in the middle of the dining room were all wearing their coats. No-one had tended to the fire, which had almost fizzled out, so the gentleman sat at the table next to it managed to re-start it and added an extra log. Cowley Manor always make a big effort with their Christmas decorations which were as pretty as ever but the food quality for the price point and the cold dining room would put us off coming back. The restaurant manager did kindly find us a heater I should add.

Short visit for the new couples wedding vows to be said and celebrated at this great venue. A very grand building with lovely stairs by the entry and very photographic views all round. Also the spa sometimes allows photos on these very special occasions. Quite stunning.
