Mum ended up in A&E due to severe health & safety issues at Cowley Manor - AVOID
Cons:

Avoid - I have been coming here for years - it has never let me down until this weekend, when my mother fell down an unlit staircase with no handrail to hold on to for support. The management staff were inexperienced and not equipped to deal with such a severe incident. They offered us approx £30 in free food- a terrible approach for an apology when my mother had to spend more than half the trip in hospital and now has a month or more of recovery ahead of her. Awful experience, terrible management and not what you’d expect from such a beautiful place on paper.

Pleasant enough but overpriced and below expectations
Pros:

Good food, beautiful grounds, eye catching decor/design, charming location

Cons:

Aspects of the room felt dated, cheap. Didn’t get a feeling of luxury, and given the price point would’ve expected a higher caliber experience. The pool party, while fun, conflicted with overall experience (given it was a lot of young 20 something’s getting drunk) felt more like a night in Ibiza than a countryside retreat.

Ideal uk break in a heatwave felt like we were in the med.
Pros:

We needed a UK break as my husband can’t fly or drive at the moment. The location is stunning, it’s a quirky art deco decorated place we particularly wanted to go somewhere with an outdoor pool in this heatwave.

Cons:

They obviously can’t install air con it being a listed building but we’d have appreciated a portable air con unit which we saw in another room. The fan we had got us through very warm nights though. The bar man for our last two days (South African) spent more time away from his bar than in it and wouldn’t provide the drinks or service his predecessor did the day before which was exceptional. We enjoyed the food for the BBQ evening but would’ve preferred an informal bbq on the lawn than a formal sit down affair. We noted our wedding anniversary on our booking. It was only when I reminded someone we got any fuss at all. Nothing in the room etc..

Pros:

Uređenje okoliša i lokacija

Cons:

Sobe nemaju klimu izrazito je vruće i po danu i po noći, usluga čišćenja je loša više puta morali smo zatfažit čišćenje sobe u popodnevnim satima, plahte i jastučnice nisu nam mjenjani 6 dana.

Gorgeous stay overall but a little overpriced
Pros:

Amazing grounds and stunning estate

Cons:

Things were over priced - charges were what I’d expect from a five star not four.
Being charged for bath salts with a bat tub in your room is one example!!
