Inside Manor Wychwood Highgrove Tetbury

Step through the main entrance hall and you immediately sense the weight of history in the flagstone floors, generous proportions, and tall sash windows that flood the ground floor with natural light. The heart of daily life revolves around a large country kitchen complete with a kitchen dining area, where a long farmhouse table comfortably seats the whole party for relaxed breakfasts and informal suppers. Adjacent to this is a formal dining room, its walls rich with period detail, ideal for candlelit dinners or celebratory feasts. A grand drawing room provides an elegant space for pre-dinner drinks, while the sitting room, warmed by an open fireplace, invites quieter moments with a book or board game. Music lovers will appreciate the dedicated music room, a distinctive feature rarely found in rental properties, perfect for impromptu performances or simply listening to records on a lazy afternoon. A ground-floor bedroom and WC add flexibility for guests with limited mobility, and a utility room keeps the practical side of a large-group stay effortlessly managed.

Upstairs, the first floor houses the master bedroom suite alongside additional bedrooms, each decorated in a style that balances country-house charm with contemporary ease. Expect quality linens, plump mattresses, and carefully chosen furnishings throughout. With five bathrooms distributed across the property, morning routines flow smoothly even when the house is at full capacity. Every corridor, landing, and room retains original architectural details, from carved cornicing to deep-set window seats, creating a sense of place that no new-build could replicate. The spa and sauna facilities within the property elevate Manor Wychwood Highgrove Tetbury into the realm of a luxury country estate rental in the Cotswolds that genuinely competes with boutique hotels, while offering the privacy and freedom of a private home.

A private BBQ area makes al fresco dining a pleasure on warm summer evenings, while private parking ensures seamless arrivals for multiple vehicles. Children have ample room to run, play, and explore, and the surrounding countryside delivers postcard-perfect views of rolling Cotswold hills in every direction. Whether you choose to wander through wildflower meadows, settle into a garden chair with a glass of local wine, or simply watch the sunset paint the honey-stone walls gold, the outdoor experience at Manor Wychwood Highgrove Tetbury is one of deep, restorative calm.
