The Ivy House

A 17th-century Cotswold manor restored as a boutique hotel and spa. Ten rooms, one walled garden, a kitchen that grows its own food — and the kind of quiet that city life forgets exists.

What Our Guests Say

Based on 4 reviews
“The Ivy House is everything we hoped a Cotswolds escape would be. The Hayloft Suite was magical — the vaulted ceiling, the stone shower, the silence. Breakfast was the best we have had anywhere in England. We will absolutely return.”
