Accommodation

A Cotswolds Manor House

For this special tour, we’ll be staying in a beautiful manor house nestled in the heart of the Cotswolds. Our home for the week will reflect the spirit of the countryside: elegant, peaceful, and full of character. Think ivy-covered walls, crackling fireplaces, and garden views, the perfect setting to unwind, explore, and enjoy everything the Cotswolds has to offer.
