This year has quietly marked a turning point for Cotswold Grange. Our honey-stone Regency townhouse, nestled on a peaceful tree-lined avenue, has begun to be rediscovered — not just as a place to stay, but as a story unfolding.
From an ethereal editorial in English Wedding to a glowing review in A Luxury Travel Blog, each feature has captured a different facet of who we are: a retreat of intimacy and calm, where history meets gentle luxury, and where character and soul linger in every corner.
A Year of Recognition
There’s something almost timeless about Cotswold Grange — the warm glow of the Cotswold stone as golden light filters through tall sash windows, the hush of spacious rooms, the subtle creak of floorboards that remember another era. This past year, these whispered qualities began to draw attention beyond our doors.
In the A Luxury Travel Blog review — which called Cotswold Grange a “quintessential Cheltenham” destination and praised our period architecture, spacious rooms, and serene atmosphere — the hotel was described as a must-visit when in Cheltenham.
That recognition feels like validation: an affirmation that what we’ve long felt — calm, comfort, character — is something others sense too.
What This Says About Us
Reading these features together, one thing becomes clear: people respond first to atmosphere. They fall in love with the space before even unpacking bags. The carved cornices, the golden stone façade, the mix of Victorian bones with conscious, contemporary interiors, the quiet calm after a day spent in town or out in the hills.
What our guests, writers, and photographers have picked up on is exactly what we hoped Cotswold Grange could become: a hideaway that feels genuine — not flashy, but thoughtful; not brash, but quietly elegant; not generic boutique, but intimately personal.
A Quiet Transformation — and Invitation to Watch Along
We’re in the midst of a transformation. Behind the scenes, we are rethinking interiors, exploring design possibilities, refining our vision. The rooms you can book now are open and welcoming — but the full picture of what Cotswold Grange can be is still unfolding.
What we are preparing — with care and intention — are new experiences:
• Boutique stays in rooms that blend character with elevated comfort
• Intimate “Just Us” weddings, micro-weddings, and vow-renewals (while we finalise licensing for larger ceremonies)
• Exclusive-use hires for creative shoots, editorial projects, PR and brand events
• Private dining nights, creative workshops, and intimate retreats
We’re not rushing. We’re letting the house breathe, evolve, and find its shape. And we’d love for you — guests, couples, creatives, curious travellers — to come along for the journey.
Looking Ahead — The Next Chapter of Cotswold Grange
Imagine waking one morning to the soft light bathing carved cornices and golden stone walls, the scent of fresh linens or seasonal flowers drifting through corridors, quiet commotion downstairs in the breakfast room as rustic wooden floors echo faint footsteps, or a hush before a small creative gathering or liaison.
Soon, we hope those imagined moments will be real ones — slow, soulful, intimate, and full of warmth. We are transforming, yes — but with heart, intention, and love for what this place can become.
So whether you’re planning a quiet stay, dreaming of a personalised elopement, scouting a venue for a photo shoot, or simply longing for peace in historic walls — consider this an invitation. Cotswold Grange is evolving, and we can’t wait to share the next chapter with you.
We’re shaping Cotswold Grange into a house where beauty, story and connection intertwine.
Soon, guests will rest in rooms that feel quietly luxurious; couples will celebrate their “Just Us” moments in warm, intimate spaces; and creatives will find inspiration in the play of light, history and design. This is a transformation rooted in intention — honouring what the house already is while guiding it into somewhere guests feel at home. For travel enthusiasts, lovers, artists and storytellers: the next chapter of Cotswold Grange is on its way, and we can’t wait to share it with you!
