Eckington Manor

Review

Eckington Manor, just a short drive from both Gloucester and Worcester, is without doubt one of Britain’s finest hidden gems. This award-winning destination combines luxury accommodation with a state-of-the-art cookery school and a world-class dining experience. At its heart are Masterchef: The Professionals 2015 winner Mark Stinchcombe and his wife Sue, who lead the kitchen with extraordinary passion and skill, creating dishes that draw food lovers from far and wide. The accommodation is flawless, beautifully appointed, stylish, and thoughtfully designed to provide the ultimate in comfort and romance. It’s clear that no expense has been spared by owner Judy Gardner, whose lifelong devotion to quality food and hospitality is felt in every corner of the estate. Eckington Manor isn’t just a romantic retreat, it’s a complete sensory experience, making it a worthy inclusion in my Top 100 Romantic Destinations book. This is a place you’ll want to return to continuously.
