Is Whatley Manor a Michelin star?
The Dining Room at Whatley Manor Retains Its Michelin Star 🌟 We are delighted to share that The Dining Room at Whatley Manor has once again retained its Michelin Star in the 2025 Michelin Guide Great Britain & Ireland. This achievement is a testament to the passion, dedication, and creativity of our incredible team. Three is the highest number of Michelin stars any restaurant can receive. You might wonder if that cap is fixed. After all, some hotels are described as seven-star stays, even though most rating systems stop at five. But with the Michelin Guide, three stars remain the top recognition a restaurant can receive.Perhaps disappointingly, the answer is no – three is still the maximum number of Michelin stars that can be awarded to any one restaurant.Michelin Star Dining Offer This one night stay includes dinner in The Dining Room, enjoy the full creative one star Michelin menu and an exceptional dining experience.
