Description

Wide-open Cotswolds countryside as far as the eye can see — on a clear day, all the way to the Black Mountains of Wales. The kind of view that makes you feel happily lost in a far-flung corner of England, when really you're only a few miles from Stroud, Cheltenham and Gloucester, with easy rail links to London.

We do one wedding at a time, always on an exclusive-use basis. Our team will look after you from arrival to the last track. Guests feel at home and rarely want to leave — we hear that a lot.

We tend to say yes. Want a full-blown festival of entertainment, your own booze, candles and fires, late-into-the-night dancing, the whole place for the weekend? Go for it. We won't tie you to a list of suppliers or insist you use our kitchens.

That said, you'll probably choose to eat with us anyway. Our in-house chefs are five-star rated, and the menu — wild, sustainable, homegrown where we can, locally sourced where we can't — is worth making the centrepiece of your day.

The only thing we ask in return is that you treat this place the way we do. We care deeply about the land, and the planet more broadly.

A house, not a hotel.

Come as you are.
