Belmond Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons is a traditional English country Manor House located about 8 miles from Oxford. Celebrated Chef Raymond Blanc opened the hotel in 1994 wanting to establish the perfect harmony between a restaurant and a luxury hotel, offering one of the U.K's best gastronomic experiences alongside exceptional service and comfort. Within its gardens there are some 90 varieties of vegetables and 70 different herbs, all of which are used in Blanc's 2-Michelin Starred restaurant - very much reinforcing Blanc's garden-to-table philosophy. One of the best experiences is to walk through the walled gardens in the late afternoon, which contain Japanese Tea Gardens, orchards and ponds (dug by monks in the 16th century) - past rows of sweetly smelling lavender bushes and along a croquet lawn back to the house. We can even arrange for you to attend the Raymond Blanc Gardening School where your interactive tuition will take you through the 11 delightful gardens and orchards ending with a sumptious working lunch.
Raymond Blanc's colourful character has been expressed throughout the hotel's 32 individually-named guest rooms and suites, which contain memoirs from his travels and French Heritage. Belmond Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons feels inviting and homely - and with only 32 rooms it remains small enough to look after all guests perfectly.
It goes without saying that the restaurant is the main draw of Belmond Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons, and we can't quite put into words how truly amazing it is - each time you go, you are amazed that food can simply be this good. Added to that, think of cream teas, champagne before dinner and post dinner drinks in the drawing room by a roaring fire - it simply pulls on all your gastronomic heart strings time and time again.
Belmond Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons is positioned perfectly for a few days of exploring (when you aren't eating) - you are 8 miles from Oxford, with ample opportunity for a day walking around this historic academic city. Alternatively you can visit Bicester Village, famous for its 130 designer outlets and the largest of its kind in the UK. For those who want to express their inner-Raymond Blanc, Belmond Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons offer cookery courses where you can hone your culinary skills and learn the art of Raymond's gastronomic wizardry.
