Cowley Manor Hotel is a luxurious country house hotel set in the beautiful rolling green scenery of Gloucestershire, but while many hotels of its type remain faithful to their historic background with original fixtures and fittings and authentic décor that is in keeping with the characterful old buildings, Cowley Manor Hotel has a bold and innovative outlook, attiring the grand old manor house with a funky and contemporary appearance and exuding a youthful and vibrant feel. Cowley Manor Hotel is a hotel with a real difference – a slice of panache amid the sleepy Cotswolds.
The Cotswolds area is characterised by green rolling hills and chocolate box villages. This charming part of England has become iconic in many ways and is enormously popular with tourists, due in no small part to its gentle way of life and its quintessential Englishness. Cowley Manor Hotel makes no attempt to conform to the formulaic country house hotel layout; its bold vivid colours and contemporary minimalism is much more in keeping with the bohemian Montpelier quarter of Cheltenham (just up the road from Cowley), the Jericho part of Oxford (just 35 miles away), or the West End of London (just 90 minutes away). If you are looking for a relaxing break in the Cotswolds without the tweeness and stuffiness sometimes associated with the area, then Cowley Manor is an ideal choice, and is easy to get to with excellent access via Cheltenham, Oxford and London.
Set in 55 acres of beautiful grounds with lakes and landscaped gardens, Cowley Manor appears conventional from the outside, an Italianate manor house in a typically Cotswolds style, but venture inside and you will discover a dramatic collection of rooms with cutting-edge design making use of leather, dark woods, glass and unconventional fabrics. Form may hold the upper hand, but the hotel is also pleasingly functional, and surprisingly comfortable considering its modernist appearance. There is a relaxed, informal restaurant and a laid-back bar, and for those seeking a break from the stresses of modern life, Cowley Manor’s C-Side Spa and Beauty Therapy facilities will fit the bill perfectly. |
