For thirty years Nicholas and Karin Mander have managed the romantic holiday cottages at Owlpen. Owlpen offers the privacy and space of your own Cotswold cottage, backed up by every attention to detail in comfort, design and servicing -- all in the picturesque setting of a Cotswold estate that is 'legendary' (Country Life). Owlpen's hallmark is perfect peace and seclusion. Today the cluster of Cotswold cottages at Owlpen features nine dreamy hideaways; they include 'listed' historic buildings, and all offer something unique. Sleeping from 2 to 9, they range from snug medieval barns and byres to sizeable farmhouses. Marlings End and Woodwells are traditional weaver's and keeper's cottages sleeping five or six. Grist Mill is a watermill of 1728 with a cupola which sleeps eight. The Court House is a gabled banqueting house of 1620, sleeping up to five. Manor Farm sleeps four and Over Court sleeps five, while Peter's Nest, Summerfieldand Tithe Barn are romantic retreats for two. |

HEATING - Cottages are popular in all Cotswold seasons and are centrally heated throughout to keep them snug and warm to the requirements of a clientele from Tasmania to Alaska. Many cottages have an open fireplace or wood-burning stove as well, for those who enjoy the pleasure of kindling or contemplating a log fire. DEPARTURE - There is no cleaning to be done. You are here to rest from household chores! Just leave the cottage tidy and hand in the keys at the Estate Office on departure. We hope you will soon return, joining those who develop a deep and lasting affection for Owlpen. |
