Kick back as Lord and Lady of the Manor in this elegant period home. Set within acres of beautifully landscaped gardens, this historic property offers a tranquil base to explore the North Cotswolds and within easy reach Shakespeare’s country.
Tucked away in this little explored corner of the Cotswolds and within easy reach of Shakespeare country sits Stourton Manor, a much loved home and a piece of living history. Dating from the early 1600s and painstakingly restored by the present owners, it’s a rare privilege to experience such heritage as a guest. Impressive inglenooks, original flagstone floors, exposed beams and rarely seen authentic elm panelled walls all combine to create a unique backdrop to your time away with family and friends.
The house sleeps up to ten guests in five bedrooms which exude period charm. There’s an elegant sitting room and sophisticated library, each with open fires and the cosy ambiance of the dining hall. The characterful country kitchen has everything you will need to cook up a storm, with a traditional pantry linking the kitchen to the dining hall provides ample storage as well as all manner of kitchen paraphernalia. An adjacent barn houses a yoga studio with some gym equipment and contemporary shower room. The private enclosed grounds extend to two acres and include a tiger turf tennis court and cricket net with bowling machine.
The village of Stourton is located in the north eastern corner of the Cotswolds in the county of Warwickshire within easy reach of the home of the Bard. Dating from the post-medieval period, the house is surrounded by fascinating history, not least of which the dissolution of the monasteries and the English Civil War. Nowadays, the locality is brimming with artisan producers as well as sites of interest: The Cotswold Distillery is literally on the doorstep (Stourton Manor guests qualify for a discount), the Hook Norton Brewery still using traditional methods is within easy reach and Todenham Manor Farm renowned for its top quality outdoor reared pork and beef is nearby. The local market town of Shipston-on-Stour shuns large supermarkets which makes it a delight for traditional fresh produce shopping and independent shops.

An absolutely beautiful and historic house, conveniently placed in the heart of the village and just minutes away from a good pub and a wonderful distillery. It was spacious both inside and out with plenty of crockery, cutlery, glassware and cooking utensils. The grounds were fabulous and we made extensive use of the tennis coirt and cricket nets.

Excellent amenities, fixtures and fittings. Particularly enjoyed the tennis court. Kitchen very well appointed and the whole property was charming and atmospheric. Very good welcome hamper.

For a large group the house is a perfect setting; we loved the outside space and the tennis courts to keep active. Beautiful house with bags of space for everybody to share and have privacy when they wanted. Great spot to relax and drive out to the Cotswolds hotspots, would definitely return.
