For forty years, Nicholas and Karin Mander have managed the cluster of romantic Cotswold holiday cottages at Owlpen in the great tradition of English country house hospitality. Today Owlpen offers the privacy and space of your own Cotswold cottage, backed up by every attention to detail in comfort, design and servicing. All this in the setting of a picturesque Cotswold estate that is 'legendary' (Country Life). Owlpen's hallmark is quality, with peace and seclusion such as you will find nowhere else in southern England. The romantic hamlet of Cotswold holiday cottages at Owlpen features nine dreamy hideaways. They include 'listed' historic buildings, each one of them offering something unique. Sleeping from 2 to 9, they range from snug medieval barns and byres to quite sizeable farmhouses. Marlings End and Woodwells are traditional weaver's and keeper's cottages, sleeping five or six. The Grist Mill is a watermill of 1728 with a cupola, a landmark building 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, Summerfield and Tithe Barn are romantic retreats for two. Open all the year round.

PETS - HEATING - Cottages are popular in all Cotswold seasons and are centrally heated throughout. They are kept snug and warm to the requirements of a clientele from Tasmania to Alaska. Many holiday 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 and this corner of the Cotswolds. |
