Cowley Manor

Venue Review of Cowley Manor

The country house goes all contemporary chic at 30- bedroom Cowley Manor, where a stately exterior conceals cool, modern furnishings and a relaxed vibe. Set in 55 acres of Cotswold parkland, the estate is dotted with meadows, woods and lakes. The 16-seater Private Dining Room and 50-capacity Garden Room both open out onto an expansive terrace that runs the length of the hotel, while the Private Sitting Room, with LCD screen, offers an informal breakout space for up to six delegates. Head chef Matthew Cuthbert (formerly of Hinds Head) has recently introduced an all-day dining menu in the 80-cover hotel restaurant, with a strong focus on seasonal, local produce. There is also a bar and billiards room, a high-end spa with a gym, four treatment rooms and indoor and outdoor pools. The property is available for exclusive hire all year round, with discounted rates available in the winter (October to March).
