The estate itself boasts 400 acres of stunning Cotswolds countryside, perfect for keeping your pup entertained for hours.

While the manor, grounds and the rooms are exquisitely regal, you won’t find stuffy dress codes or unpronounceable dishes here. The atmosphere at Foxhill Manor is fun, relaxed and down-to-earth. A trip to Foxhill Manor is, as they say, “like staying with very tasteful, very accommodating friends, who have no house rules.”

Foxhill Manor guests also have access to Dormy House’s spa and facilities.
