History
Whatley Manor began as Twatley Farm, an 18th-century farmstead first recorded on the 1840 tithe map near Malmesbury in Wiltshire. In the 1920s Herbert Cox commissioned architect Septimus Warwick to rebuild it in Tudor Revival style (around 1925-27), and the house was renamed Whatley Manor by about 1961 before opening as a hotel in 1987.
Swiss owners Marco and Alix Landolt acquired the property in 2000 and restored it into a 23-bedroom luxury country-house hotel with a 12,000-square-foot spa. Its restaurant, The Dining Room, won a Michelin star in 2005 and two stars in 2010.
