Set in eight acres of stunning countryside grounds, this 16th-century Elizabethan manor house hotel is the perfect UK staycation with its beautiful grounds to explore, an indulgent spa and an award-winning restaurant serving delicious, seasonal cuisine. Having recently unveiled a fresh new look following the completion of a major £1.2million transformation, The Eden Hotel Collection has stylishly refurbished all 21 bedrooms at The Greenway Hotel and Spa with each now boasting its own unique colour palette, personality and wonderful characteristics. The extensive renovation project combines the hotel’s natural rural setting on the edge of the Cotswolds with its rich history and enchanting period features such as original stone windows and roaring fireplaces. Room layouts within the hotel have also been altered to create larger, more elevated spaces and expansive marble bathrooms, boasting opulent features such as classic roll-top baths and elegant brassware; whilst others have drawn on existing features to build a sumptuous design unique to each room. The Elan Spa at The Greenway Hotel and Spa has also recently partnered with luxury British skincare brand TempleSpa to offer guests a myriad of indulgent treatments. From facials and massages to various body treatments as well as bespoke TempleSpa treatments, there’s something for everyone looking to relax, revive and rejuvenate themselves this year.
