Each of the bedrooms have been given a unique theme that compliments the original 17th century architecture whilst offering spacious en-suits, exquisite furnishings. Each room offers a different perspective on the stunning landscape of the Cotswold Hills, including the woods above Slad Valley and the famous church spire of Painswick.
A sought after wedding venue, the manor house can sleep up to 22 guests with access to extensive facilities including a jacuzzi and sauna, whilst catered for by a team of passionate staff. The local area remains tranquil and picturesque, yet offers a wealth of traditional English country past times such as horse riding, shooting and hiking.

Extras

Please note that there will be an additional charge of £250 + VAT per day to hire a chef who can prepare up to two meals within that day. You can choose to simply hire the chef for one day of your stay or choose to have the chef service throughout the stay.
Once you have booked and selected the duration of days you would like to hire the chef for, the local property managers will contact you to enquire about your food and drinks requirements. The chef will then design a menu, tailored to your requirements and issue a per head quote for this. Please note that this charge is specifically for the food ingredients and drinks and so this will need to be paid for ON TOP of the above chef charge (of £250 +VAT per day). The property managers will send you an invoice for the catering which will need to be paid for prior to your arrival.
