Created by celebrated chef Raymond Blanc OBE, Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons is one of the country's most cherished manor house hotels. They have received two Michelin stars in 1984, the first year of their opening, and, remarkably, have held them ever since.

Surrounded by lawns, flower borders and orchards, the setting is postcard-perfect. 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. They guarantee the restaurant remains at the cutting edge of culinary excellence.

From the mushroom valley and orchards to the serene English water garden, a stroll through the verdant grounds is sure to be one of many highlights of this retreat.  

You can arrive at Manoir aux Quat'Saisons by mini cab or uber from Haddenham & Thame Parkway station. Approx 13 min.
