About this house rental
This wonderfully restored Georgian country house offers the perfect retreat either for a quiet, luxurious weekend or perfect for family gatherings. Step through the classic entrance doors to Ewelme Manor and discover this beautiful Georgian home.
Designed by Anthony Keck in 1760 and once a 'Coming of Age' present to the late William Purnell, Ewelme Manor is the architect's earliest identifiable Gloucestershire country house, also closely associated with Highgrove, Berkeley Castle and Rodborough Manor to name just a few.
The perfect house for entertaining in style, with a superbly equipped kitchen, the Aga, with companion, warming the heart of the home, numerous impressive reception rooms, all with magnificent period open fireplaces, and a added outdoor pool complex with cinema room, provides a more contemporary 'spa like' feel and an additional entertaining area.
Start your day by taking morning tea under the verandah by the fountain. Enjoy a long, leisurely lunch with family and friends under the pergola on the south facing patio, overlooking the pool. Sip a cocktail before dinner in the study in front of the open fire and then dine with style in the 17th century dining room. Alternatively, you could just cosy up on a feather sofa in the 'snug' with the flickering flames of the wood burner, or settle down in front of a movie in the cinema room - the choice is yours to make.
Take the time to unwind in one of the marble-clad bathrooms in an elegant roll top bath before retiring to your choice of spacious bedrooms, sumptuously furnished. The perfect end to the perfect day!
With a huge variety of local attractions and sporting activities and entertainment, it makes Ewelme Manor the ideal choice for family celebrations, steeped in English History and classic Cotswold charm.

Our extended family comprised of three generations had a lovely stay at this incredibly spacious, beautifully decorated property. Check-in was easy - the owners showed us the ins and outs of the house and were lovely to interact with - even leaving us treats upon arrival. Plenty of spacious rooms and a lovely lounge to spend evenings in. The outdoor/grounds were stunning and our kids really enjoyed the hot tub and pool. We made day trips to Castle Combe, Tetbury and Bibury to experience quintessential Cotswalds beaty. All in all we couldn't ask for a more perfect setting with which to celebrate grandma's 70th birthday.

We could not wish for a better house for the weekend. The property was so impressive and very well equipped. It was spacious and so clean and little touches were amazing.
The best part of the house was the outdoor space and the pool and hot tub which was heated and very clean.
The hosts were amazing and really made the stay so special and were always on hand to answer any questions. I would definitely come back here as it’s perfect for any occasion.

Magical place.

Very large, spacious house and fantastic grounds. Lots of room inside and out for us to spread out.
Facilities excellent. We made good use of hot tube, pool and table tennis tables and the young ones enjoyed the kids play area.
Easy access to Cotswolds Way path.
Although the property is on the edge of Dursley, the grounds are large, giving the impression that you are almost in the countryside.

The most stunning of grand houses in beautifully lanscaped grounds. Hosts Candida and Stephen were nothing short of exceptional in all they did ,both pre and during our stay. The attention to detail throughout the house is extraordinary, Candida we were all blown away by your talent. We had a brilliant few days with our family and their friends ,and got a trip in to Cheltenham races too. I must mention the "old Crown" at Uley - Kate and her team provided us with, in our opinion the best roast we have ever had. Thank you candida and Stephen - much appreciated

Spectacular English manor house and gardens. Gorgeous interior in all respects, with outstanding pool, hot tub and terrace area, and meticulously kept grounds. Perfectly located on the edge of Dursley, conveniently located for day trips to the south (Bath, Stonehenge, etc.), the many nearby idyllic Cotswold villages, and Stratford-upon-Avon and Hidcote Garden to the north. Pub fare in Dursley and several excellent restaurants within a short drive. The owners were extremely helpful and responsive--Candida was outstanding as we worked through several questions when we were considering a stay there. The perfect place to stay as you experience this beautiful part of the world.

Candida and Stephen were wonderful hosts of this great property. The house had so much history and was so beautifully updated. My family could not have wanted anything more and it was the highlight of our entire vacation. We hope to be back and will definitely try to stay again at this property.

We really enjoyed our stay here. There were a total of 22 of us and the house felt very spacious.
Rooms were set up beautifully with towels and robes, which were perfect for using the hot tub, a huge hit with the chilly weather.
Despite it being winter the house felt really warm and cosy and the beds were very comfortable.
There are beautiful walks straight off the doorstep and some nice pubs nearby which made for a perfect Saturday afternoon. We hired a chef on the Saturday night and the kitchen had all the facilities set up for cooking a large dinner and the dining room had a very large table to fit us all.
The location of the property was very convenient as our group were coming from London and Devon so it was the perfect in between location and a really easy drive.
We all had the most memorable weekend together and wish we could have stayed longer. The hosts were very friendly and were on hand if we needed them. Candida was also great at answering all my questions and keeping in touch throughout our booking. We would love to book again in the future!

I hosted my 50th birthday here.
I couldn’t be more happy. We visited in January and enjoyed the beautiful Cotswold hiking through the day, and then had a dinner party on Saturday evening.
The hosts were communicative, responsive and helpful. Candida helped me find local vendors for catering and gave great suggestions for activities for our group.

When I had the idea to get a 20 friends together for a Christmas party I was looking for a property that would be spacious enough for us all, as well as have enough activities that if it did rain the whole weekend in December we would be okay. Fortunately, the weather was bright blue and crisp and the walks from the back of the house are incredibly beautiful. We even woke up to snow on the Sunday which looking out from the beautiful big windows into the garden, and down by the Christmas tree really made it a winter wonderland!
This property absolutely surpassed all my expectations, we had a kitchen disco, played games around the pool table and sang songs around the piano. The flow of the house lends itself to intimate gatherings and special time with those you love.
Candida and her partner Stephen were also so responsive with all of the communications before hand and there to check us in with everything we may need.
Highly recommend for friends and family alike.
Thank you once again, for the most memorable weekend. We can’t wait to come back in the summer months for a warmer dip in the pool!

From beginning to end, our stay as a group of 23 adults was incredible.
The photos of the house are not only accurate but cannot capture how stunning it is in person.
Candida and Stephen have been helpful and responsive from the moment we booked, and went out of their way to gift champagne and strawberries alongside a lovely card for my partner’s birthday.
We had the most wonderful weekend and thank Candida and Stephen for opening up their home to us.

Idyllic English countryside setting
If you’re looking for the quintessential countryside experience with a group, this is the place. We went as an extended family group of 11 and wanted a place some people could explore the area but mostly to have a place to stay where all could enjoy. The kids spent hours in the pool, some enjoyed experiencing waking the Cotswold Way, others walked into town for meals or a drink in the garden of the local pub, others enjoyed shopping in nearby Tetsbury or exploring the farmers market in Stroud, and some just enjoyed knitting in the formal sitting room. The house felt like staying in a castle with incredible antiques and architectural details while still having the comforts of a modern hotel. The owners were responsive and helpful and we were grateful for the special family time the rental allowed us to have. I HIGHLY recommend this unique and comfortable home.

Fabulous place for our family reunion weekend.
The house and gardens are beautiful and everything we wanted was right there on site. It was so easy to entertain the children and the grownups enjoyed the house and gardens equally. We made some special memories. for our first family get-together in four years. Candida and Stephen were brilliant hosts, answered all our questions very quickly and offered helpful advice. Also commend the comprehensive information pack which really helped us plan.

This is the most stunning and spacious house, which has been beautifully decorated and maintained by the owners. If you are looking for the WOW factor, this has it and you will not be disappointed.
The house is complemented by the large swimming pool, hot tub and terrace area.
The owners are a delight to deal with; personable, efficient and provide excellent customer service. We were a group of 14 and we had a fabulous weekend !

This property is a real find. Opulent interiors, a mix of traditional and contemporary features. Each room is a treasure, it’s really grand and very big. (you will get lost at first). It’s perfect for family and friends to gather, sit by the fire and catch up, play pool with the children, chat in the hot tub, wander around outside, walk the dog, swim in the pool. We hired a chef to cater for us one night, brilliant idea and very decadent. Can’t wait to go back next year, all 22 of us agree

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your beautiful home, no complaints at all. Everything was perfect and the booking process was smooth & easy. Stunning grounds perfect for friends and families.

Fabulous stay in an absolutely gorgeous house!
Stayed here with 15 other girlfriends for my sisters hen party.
The house is great gorgeous and everyone was so stunned at how gorgeous it was. It's perfect for big groups as there are plenty of bedrooms and big enough entertainment spaces.
Host's communication was also great and they were very flexible with a few requests we made.
Would absolutely stay here again! Thank you!

Celebration of my 70th Birthday with my family & 2 best friends
We had the most amazing long weekend stay from 4-7 March 2022. The Manor House is so beautiful & has everything you need & is equipped for all ages. The owners of the property were so informative, friendly & helpful. I will always have a beautiful memory.

We came to the manor for my 40th birthday celebrations and were blown away by how beautiful and comfortable it was. The location is perfect: close to a small shop for extra breakfast bits, direct access to the Cotswolds way and far enough away from neighbours to have privacy, although we were very conscious to follow the rules about outside noise. The manor itself is somehow even better than the photos! Every bedroom is massive and the decor is a perfect mix of classic contemporary and historic style. It easily accommodated the 15 of us and two dogs, we felt very spoiled. As added, unexpected extras, the housekeeper had very kindly put away all our food and drink delivery for us before we arrived, and had put out Prosecco, chocolates, a balloon and a card for me which was so thoughtful. We really had the best time: sunny walks, too much food, hot tub fun, and playing pool - perfect weekend away!

fabulous 50th
We spent the weekend here for my husbands 50th. Perfect location, easy to get to for all. Stunning property and facilities. The hosts were really helpful with recommendations, information beforehand, check in etc. We used the little pickle caterers who served up a fantastic meal in the wonderful dining room. The location was great and perfect for lovely walks direct from the garden. Every room was comfortable and the decor stunning ! We couldn't decide on our favourite room!! would definitely recommend.

Great family holiday property for all the family, ranging from babies to great grand parents. The house had everything we could need and the grounds and outdoor facilities were amazing. The grounds were stunning and great for strolls and dog walking. We had really good weather for September and used all the outdoor seating areas, play areas, heated pool and hot tub to the full. There was something for everyone.

A fabulous time with the family
We booked this property for a delayed 80th for my mum, so the party ranged from 7 - 86!
The house is enormous, much bigger than I had imagined. There were plenty of places to hide away around the house and garden if you wanted to, but lots of space to gather too.
We had a fabulous time, the pool was an absolute hit with the kids being heated, so even though the weather wasn't as kind as we would have wanted you could still swim.
I would stay again.

The accommodation was simply stunning. All of the facilities were fantastic. The hosts were so helpful and trusting with handing over this incredible property to us for a long weekend. The grounds to the property were so well maintained with stunning views across the area. The outside facilities such as the heated swimming pool, seating area and hottub were a real treat. The house was grand and full of character charm which gave a 5 star feel to the stay. This place is a credit to the hosts and their attention to detail and luxury. I can honestly say this is one of the best places I have experienced for a very very long time. Long term memories have been made as a result of our stay.
