What they say
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and Wallpaper*.
Cozy and comfy country living is what’s on offer at the Calcot, an old world manor house with a state-of-the-art spa in Tetbury.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Winding bike trails span 220 acres of rewilded meadowland, just three miles down country lanes from Tetbury's antique shops.
The rooms
Stone barn conversions and main house suites pair neutral palettes with bold headboards, while family pads add separate bunk rooms.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
A 16-metre heated indoor pool rests under vaulted ceilings, and an outdoor pool is bordered by stone sun decks.
The spa and gym
Converted stone barns house a 280-square-metre gym and yoga studio. Outside, a hot tub sits beside a roaring log fire.
Restaurant
The Brasserie at Calcot
Under a glass-roofed conservatory, chefs in an open kitchen prepare seasonal Cotswold beef, local game, and British seafood.
At the table
The Hive mixes craft cocktails in a rustic lounge, and The Grain Store Café pours post-workout coffee.
How it began
Dating to a 1311 tithe barn built for Kingswood Abbey, the honey-stone manor farm became a country house retreat in 1984.
