The heated outdoor pool is set in a South facing terrace close to the kitchen, next to the Loggia with tables and chairs for al fresco dining.
The house sits in an elevated position in 8 acres of secluded gardens and paddocks, made up of several lawned areas bordered with flowerbeds. The garden stretches to the east along the line of the entrance drive where the sheep graze in the paddocks overlooking Uley Valley. The River Ewelme runs as a boundary line through the woodland that stretches along the bottom of the garden. The house overlooks a spring fed fountain with water from the stream that runs through the centre of the garden and forms small ponds in various places.
Walking around the grounds is like walking around an arboretum. The main focal point is a magnificent Copper Beech thought to be over 250 years old cornering a lowered patio, with steps leading down to an avenue of yews, a specimen acer and an additional avenue of grand lime trees. A large magnolia shelters the stream on the lower lawn. It is a garden worth exploring at any time of year.
The second you step through the front door at Ewelme Manor you will relax and enjoy the splendid mix of Cotswold manor house and luxurious modern amenities.
The entrance hall opens onto a big open plan kitchen, dining room with space for 18 to dine together in comfort, lounge and study/snug. Just outside is the home cinema room, with the option to use part of this as an additional bedroom.
We want you to enjoy every moment of your stay at Ewelme Manor so whatever your desire for food and drink, we can help. If you love cooking then help yourselves to the Aga. Alternatively, if you’d like a little or a lot of help then we offer everything from casseroles dropped off ready for the oven to waitress-served in-house catering. Or sample fine Cotswolds cuisine at a local gastro-pub.
Looking for a special meal without any fuss? Our highly rated chefs will prepare a celebratory meal to order, all cooked and cleared out of the way. Once the plates are cleared, they’ll leave you to enjoy the rest of the evening.
For special occasions, we can arrange all kinds of catering – from a simple buffet, to a summer BBQ or a fully catered holiday. Just let us know what you’re looking for and we’ll sort it out.
