We rang Le Manoir for late availability back in May and they did have a room for the following night, and could do it for us at a mere £925

le manoir rooms all booked. which I kind of sighed with relief at. they're just a little on the pricey side...

overall I'm not panicking now. have managed to book lunch there on said day so the worst that can happen is I don;t drink and have to drive us back. would be really nice to find a pub in teh same village

Stay in the rooms at Le Manoir. For the price of a leg, you can sleep in absolute luxury and comfort after stuffing yourself silly. The rooms are loverly
