Taking centre-stage of Euridge Manor is the utterly delightful Orangery, which when combined with the Cloisters' rooms, creates Belvedere. Filled with sunlight from the multiple windows and French doors, which lead to an immaculate parterre terrace, the impressive Orangery features time-worn stone floors, warm terracotta walls and a vaulted glass ceiling. Glistening chandeliers cast a gentle glow across an expansive dining table, which can seat twelve guests with ease and speaks of vibrant and vivacious meals that linger long after the sun has set. The compact but well-equipped kitchen has everything practical needed and is ideally located should you prefer to allow a private chef to create culinary delights for you. Two opulent four-poster bedrooms, with expansive ensuite bathrooms, add to the sense that you are staying somewhere rather special. From the Orangery a hidden staircase and walkway leads to the Cloisters' rooms, different but equally charming. A cosy living space with an open fireplace and kitchen creates a private space, where you can retreat and relax, whilst two further bedrooms offer serene places to sleep. The master suite boasts a divine standalone bath for long, bubble-filled soaks. Staying at Belvedere gives access to an enchanting garden utopia filled with meadows, lawns, delicate rose gardens, a tennis court, and glassy green pools, all yours to enjoy. Wrapping around the Orangery a glorious terrace with parterres, water features and views across the estate, while a stone staircase leads to the lawn below. After a day discovering the charms of Euridge and the surrounding Cotswolds the ultimate in relaxation awaits, a private wood-fired sauna, where you can allow the gentle scent of pine and eucalyptus to lull you into a state of total bliss. Guests are also welcome to book
The Christie’s Cabin, a secret hideaway for two on the estate if they need a little extra space.
