How would you like to be Lord or Lady of the Manor for a week? This incredible 17th century property is rich in history, rich in architectural design and rich in comfort and amenities. If its gorgeous, mellow Cotswold stone walls could talk, you would hear stories of love, human connection, family and pets. For years an eccentric bon vivant and business owner, Michael Naylor, lived in this vast manor house with his twenty cats. During his time in the house, he commissioned many quirky features including carvings of his two favourite cats in the dining room’s inglenook fireplace. It was then bought by Farida King, the much loved Indonesian matriarch whose family lovingly refurbished most of this magnificent property, blending its ancient charm with fabulous modern touches. They have transformed the once derilict top floor into a fantastic play area for children, built a self-contained flat above the original garage, revamped the kitchen into a chef’s dream and revitalised the swimming pool hidden deep in the exquisite two acres of gardens.

Seasonal delights including rhubarb, pears, apples, plums and delicious smelling herbs can be foraged for supper.
