Washbourne Court
The village of Lower Slaughter is regarded by many as the prettiest village in England and one of the most beautiful and unspoiled villages in the Cotswolds making Washbourne Court the most idyllic destination.
During the summer, guests really appreciate lunch or drinks on our Riverside Terrace, a truly charming riverside setting, with wild birds strutting across the lawns, giving every impression of being so appreciative of their beautiful natural habitat. In the winter months, guests enjoy relaxing in front of the real log fires.

Get my Free Venue ShortlistWashbourne Court is the only riverside hotel high in the Cotswolds.
The new Washbourne Court offers a unique refreshing twist on luxury country house hotel ethos, situated right in the heart of the beautiful Cotswolds with an enviable reputation for exceptionally fine food.
A truly splendid 17th century hotel, once an Eton cramming school, standing in four acres of beautiful grounds alongside the River Eye in the centre of Lower Slaughter, is an inspired mix of exciting contemporary design and handsome historic features. Traditional beamed ceilings, stone mullioned windows and the most magnificent fireplace in the bar, all harmonise with a restaurant style that is both bold and contemporary whilst being wonderfully comfortable.
In the unique ‘uber’ cool of the luxuriously relaxing Scholars Lounge, guests love to graze the delicious bar menu or lounge over a latte, a pot of tea or something a little stronger.
