Cotswolds Retreats

The Court House ETC 4 Star, is a charming Grade I listed Stuart garden building from circa 1620. It has been imaginatively converted to provide a chic little cottage for two to four adults in the heart of the beautiful Gloucestershire Cotswolds. Originally, it was a banqueting house or gazebo, but more recently it has become known as the Manor's 'Court House', because here the successive Lords of the Manor of Owlpen would have held their Court Leet or 'Hamilton' - the "trying of their servants and tenants for petty offences"! 

ACCOMMODATION:
Downstairs is the Kitchen and Bathroom, with a little loggia restored as an attractive Dining Room. The glass doors, divided by a simple Tuscan column, frame a view of the East Wing of Owlpen's Manor House.

First Floor 
Reached via a narrow spiral staircase, leading to a Sitting Room in the old Justice Room. 
Main Bedroom with double bed (and a basin) beyond.

Second floor, via narrow staircase. 
Two cosy bedrooms. 
Bedroom Two with twin children's beds under the eaves, leading through the trusses to:
Bedroom Three, the larger one, which is curtained off, and with a double bed. The oval birds eye windows enjoy delightful views to Uley, whose church spire can just be seen among the trees below the summit of Uley Bury.

Central heating and electricity included all year around. Ample parking at cottage.

No pets. Babysitting by arrangement. Friday or Monday changeover preferably

The property is screened to the east by some beautiful yew trees, known affectionately and locally as 'the ballroom'. The Court House enjoys its own sun terrace and garden to the west - complete with its unique baroque sundial on the wall. Locally within Uley, there are a Post Office/village shop, two pubs, a brewery and an arts centre; all about half a mile away.
