Original features abound at this very charming Cotswold manor house, where every corner invites you to relax, laugh, and create shared stories. The layout works wonderfully for families and group accommodation, with its quirky floor plan, open spaces, and plenty of onsite entertainment. In the country-style kitchen, the cooks of your group can chat while preparing hearty meals, the air filled with laughter and the scent of fresh herbs. Or perhaps, you’ll leave the cooking to the local pub a short stroll away before wandering back under starlit skies.

Cotswold Manor is a picture-perfect, honey-coloured country house to rent set within two acres of beautifully kept formal gardens, right next to a centuries-old village church. It’s a place made for big house holidays, relaxed luxury hen party weekends, memorable family gatherings, and corporate retreats that feel far from the everyday.

Elegant Social Spaces

Gather your group in one of the two spacious reception rooms, each designed to encourage togetherness. Sunlight pours in through large windows, offering tranquil glimpses of the gardens while you enjoy a cream tea beside a roaring fire or raise a toast before dinner. Both rooms have ample seating so no one is ever left without a cosy spot — a hallmark of a large holiday home designed for comfort.

Luxury Bedrooms & Suites

Cotswold Manor offers a wonderful variety of bedrooms so everyone in your group can find their perfect retreat. The master suite feels indulgent with its four-poster super king bed and adjoining twin room, sharing a stylish en-suite that’s ideal for parents with children or close friends. A double bedroom with private entrance connects to the same bathroom, giving a sense of both space and privacy.

Other rooms include a king bedroom with its own en-suite, a cosy double with a washbasin, and an inviting king room close to a separate bathroom.

Up on the second floor, two more en-suite bedrooms await — one a peaceful double, the other with four single beds, making it a favourite for younger guests or a family group. There is also a double bedroom with a single day bed, and a twin room complete with sofas and a Smart TV, perfect for late-night chats or movie time. These share the bathroom on the first floor, ensuring comfort across this large group accommodation (click here to see the house floor plan).

Entertainment & Fun

The elegant dining room, with its stone floor and open fire, sets the stage for long, laughter-filled meals seating up to 20 guests. For a more relaxed atmosphere, turn up the music and let the kitchen-diner become the party hub, warmed by its log burner. Between meals, friendly rivalries can play out over table tennis matches, making this a true party house in the Cotswolds.

Fresh Air & Fun

Step outside into two acres of space designed for fun and unwinding. There’s room for lawn games, picnics under the sun, or simply enjoying the tranquillity of the Cotswold air. The large, luxurious hot tub invites long, blissful soaks with friends, perfect after a day of village exploring or country walks. Surrounded by fresh air and wide skies, it becomes a social hub where laughter flows as easily as the bubbles. This luxury house rental blends heritage with modern indulgence.
