Manor Hotel, Datchet

The Manor Hotel sits in the Berkshire village of Datchet in the Slough constituency. It was contracted to Clearsprings Ready Homes under the South East Asylum Accommodation and Support Services (AASC) contract for short Home Office dispersal periods in 2022 and again from 2024^[1]Press.

The hotel was first used briefly as Clearsprings asylum accommodation in September 2022 during the Manston processing backlog. After residents were moved on, the property returned to commercial bookings until the Home Office reopened the contract in October 2024 for a second longer period^[1]Press.

In May 2025 Windsor MP Jack Rankin confirmed that the Home Office had agreed to end the asylum use of the Manor Hotel, with residents moved on by the end of the month and the property returning to commercial hospitality^[2]Press^[3]Press.

At the £170 per person per night Migration Observatory benchmark^[4], the second longer asylum use period (October 2024 to end May 2025) at around 80 residents implies headline taxpayer exposure of about £13,600 per night and roughly £4.1 million across the eight months of run rate. The May 2025 NAO contract review put the average per hotel run rate across the wider portfolio at about £5.84 million per year^[5]NAO.
