This quintessential English country Estate near Stow-on-the-Wold is the perfect setting for large family gatherings and celebrations in a idyllic countryside. The estate has been lovingly resorted and offers all the services of a boutique hotel.
Cotswold Manor Estate stretches over 14.5 acres and can sleep up to a maximum of thirty-two guests across its fifteen beautifully-appointed bedrooms. The Estate consists of four individual properties including The Manor House, Barn, Granary, Cow Byre and Peacock Shed. All of which are surrounded by the exquisite award-winning gardens.
The 5-bedroom Manor house has been privately owned since the 15th century and is steeped in English history. It has been beautifully refurbished and is now available as an exclusive home to rent for those seeking a discrete retreat away from the hassle of city living. For relaxation in an atmosphere of tranquillity and charm in a classic Cotswold village, this estate is a wonderful place to stay, be it to spend time with friends and family, entertain clients, or arrange team building for corporate groups.
The luxuriously converted Cotswold Barn contains five themed suites, from the elegant gold room, to the exotic African room. The cookery lessons also take place in the barn, where clients can enjoy a selection of set seasonal courses. The Granary can comfortably accommodate six guests across its three en-suite bedrooms. The remaining four guests can make use of the Cow Byre and Peacock Shed, both having just one bedroom they make romantic boltholes for any couples in search of a little extra privacy from the rest of the group.
The outside space is equally impressive, Cotswold Manor and Barn both boast their own hot tubs, while the Manor benefits from its very own astro tennis court, the ideal spot for some healthy competition! Cotswold Barn benefits from a swimming pool, brand new for 2020! There is plenty of opportunity for al fresco dining with multiple terraces and Weber barbecues.
What you should know…
- The accommodation is spread across four individual properties which may not suit all group types
- One of the bedrooms in the Manor is better suited to be used as a family suite for those travelling with smaller children due to the layout

Fantastic!
I organised a party there for about 18 people, it was superb. Loved every minute of it as did all the guests. It snowed about 10 inches while we were there but it didn't effect us. If anything it made it all better.
Very accomodating and I'll definentely be back. I highly reccommend it.
Don't miss out! Reserve now and get a full refund if you change your mind within 48hrs.
