Situated on 12 acres of gardens, Whatley Manor lies in Malmesbury, located an hour and a half west of Oxford. This 5-star property offers only 23 unique guestrooms for an intimate stay. Suites boast separate sitting and study areas, a bathroom with heated floors and Molton Brown amenities, super king-sized beds handmade in Yorkshire by Harrison Sparks, and in-room treats like homemade biscuits.
Also on the grounds of Whatley Manor is the Michelin-starred The Dining Room, led by Executive Chef Ricki Weston. Whatley Manor is also home to Grey’s, a relaxed restaurant offering seasonal British dishes. Highlights often featured in The Dining Room include scallops with crème fraiche and trout roe, or wagyu with cucumber and consommé, while Grey’s serves up dishes like roast Cornish Ling and crispy Middlewhite pork belly.

Guests of Whatley can enjoy access to Aquarias Spa, a luxurious wellbeing haven partnered with Sothys Paris and Gaia to offer a wide range of treatments. The spa also features a flotation hydrotherapy pod, salt scrub showers and a thermal suite.
The property attained this recent achievement and milestone thanks to its partnership with It Must be NOW, a facilitator working within the tourism sector to drive companies and properties toward a climate-positive future. Whatley Manor commits to urgent climate action and environmental stewardship by removing more carbon than it emits.

Whatley Manor also achieved a Silver accreditation by EarthCheck, the leading certifier for sustainable travel destinations. The Dining Room boasts a Green Michelin Star, too, furthering the property’s contribution to a greener future.

Apr 17, 2024Amansara Review
It was more than a car journey; it was a transition between worlds. At our first hotel in Siem Reap, huge coaches constantly pulled up outside the lobby to deposit or receive international tour groups; we departed in very different style, in a 1965 black Mercedes limousine once owned by King Sihanouk. The mundanities of mass tourism were left behind. We progressed through the chaotic Cambodian streets in regal comfort and soon arrived at a solid gate.
