Grand, spacious and surrounded by glorious Cotswold scenery, Spring House is a country manor with an edge of distinctive styling. Elegant dining spaces and living rooms with crackling fires set the scene for extravagant family dinners and you can spend time playing tennis and making this most of this unique setting. Around each corner is eye-catching art and the parkland views will stop you in your tracks each time. Spend days in regency Cheltenham Spa browsing the boutique shops or heading to the world-renowned races, visit the Cotswold Farm Park and the ancient Roman market town of Cirencester, or just enjoy a wander across the fields to the nearest country pub for a hearty meal and a couple of pints.

Sitting amongst charming Cotswold villages, Spring House is at the centre of a picturesque landscape. From here you can enjoy the best of both worlds with local highlights easily reached from your doorstep and a fabulously curated home to call your own.

Sunlit rooms with garden views, displays of original artwork and bold fabric choices make this a getaway you’ll remember. Each space has something special from the open fire and oriental touches in the drawing room to floral influences found throughout the bedrooms. The spacious kitchen is perfect for home-cooked meals or treating yourselves by hiring a private chef and you have a choice of dining spaces. One is flooded with light with a garden view backdrop while the formal dining room creates a royal elegance with rich blue tones and highlights of gold. After dinner the sitting room awaits with its gallery walls and woodburning stove. The bedrooms spread across the first floor and one downstairs, each has delicate artwork and splashes of personality.

Your time here will be split between the house, tennis court, and irresistible south-facing garden with a dining terrace and expansive lawns. In spring you’ll spot prancing lambs and blossoming bulbs, but it is no less beautiful in winter as you watch the skies change through the trees. Head out early to Elkstone Studios to bring back pastries and coffee for your group before pulling your walking boots on and getting immersed in the countryside.

Sunlight streams into the drawing room awakening the quiet elegance of this reception room. Luxurious seating rests alongside antique furniture while the open fire adds a comforting warmth and crackle to the conversation.

Outside

Surrounded by lush lawns and mature trees, Spring House is immersed in the Cotswold countryside. Spot lambs in the distance as you wander the south-facing grounds between the majestic trees as flowers bloom and birds flit overhead. There is oodles of space for garden games, a round of tennis, and short walks with the dogs to let off steam and children will have a fantastic time having picnics and acting out their stories. Serve meals on the terrace, have a family BBQ, or sit here in the fresh mornings with a cup of coffee to start your day. Walks can start from your doorstep to explore your surroundings, heading to one of the nearby pubs or perhaps to join the Cotswold Way.

Where to start. Our group of friends has an annual gathering across the Cotswolds every year and this was everyone's favourite so far. The home perfectly caters 11 people with plenty of space and areas for groups to be together spaciously. Everything was perfect, comfortable, beautifully decorated and well kitted out. The dining room was the perfect location to host our murder mystery dinner too. We loved it from start to finish.

A wonderful stay at Spring House. We were not disappointed on arrival. Comfortable bedrooms and sitting rooms. Super large kitchen with ample seating for 12 people. We were hoping for some warmer weather so as to make use of the garden area with some beautiful views and to possibly use the barbecue on one of the days. The property is just a short drive to most of the beautiful villages, Stow on the Wold and Bourton on the Water being just two. It's an extremely peaceful location so a restful night is assured. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property for large groups or families. If looking for another property in the future I would definitely use Bolthole again.

From the moment we set foot in Spring House, we knew we had discovered something special. It's an elegant yet comforting Cotswold farmhouse. Every corner of Spring House felt carefully considered & the décor manages to be stylish without feeling overdone, making it warm & inviting.It is quite remote as it's in the countryside near Cowley, but the surroundings are breathtaking. This place truly shines when it comes to space. With so many cosy communal areas, we drifted between lounges, the garden, and dining spaces. Check-in was seamless, the home spotless, and the team behind Bolthole Retreats responsive and thoughtful throughout our stay. If you're looking for a beautiful, spacious, and peaceful home-away-from-home in the Cotswolds, Spring House is it. With its thoughtful design, idyllic setting, and superior comfort, this retreat earns nothing less than a glowing recommendation and we’re already looking forward to a return visit!

We had a wonderful stay at Spring House! What a beautiful large old farmhouse, ideally suited to a large family gathering, providing plenty of indoor and outdoor space, and we all appreciated the really comfortable beds and bedding. The house was in a tranquil setting with lovely views across the fields, and the agent was very responsive. Set in a great spot with east access to some of the nearby towns and villages for walks and sightseeing. We are already planning or next stay with Bolthole Retreats!

Perfect size property for our group of 8. Central location for visiting many villages & Stonehenge. Highly recommend for spaciousness & privacy.

We spent a wonderful long weekend (3 nights) at Spring House with 7 friends. We were fortunate to have hot sunny weather throughout or stay, which allowed us to spend a lot of time outside eating, drinking and talking. Spring House is a real gem in a very peaceful location, part of a farm redevelopment. There is amble space outside to relax on the grass and the front of the house will be secluded from other properties on the estate when they are completed. The views are far reaching and we saw pheasants wandering by, as well as birds of prey wheeling in the sky. The house itself is spacious, well appointed and very homely, having not been "over-renovated". The beds are very comfortable and it swallowed up our party of 9 with its six bedrooms. There are two large lounges, lots of sofas, a large kitchen/breakfast room as well as a formal dining room. Everything was immaculate. The general consensus of all our friends was that they would highly recommend it for large families or groups of friends. We all thoroughly enjoyed it.

We had a fantastic time at Spring House. There is so much space, both inside and out, with plenty of bathrooms and space for socialising. Every corner of the house is so tastefully decorated and was equipped with everything we needed for our weekend away. Location is so peaceful and only a short drive to Cheltenham so delivered the best of both worlds!
