Cotswold Escarpment Manor

Cotswold Escarpment Manor is a detached house in Stroud designed for large groups and family gatherings. It sleeps 16 across six bedrooms and five bathrooms, with the whole place to yourselves. The master suite includes a roll-top bath; four further bedrooms have kingsize beds, and a sixth offers another kingsize. Three of the bedrooms also have single beds. One dog can stay free.

The ground floor centres on a kitchen with integrated SONOS speakers wired throughout, so music follows you from breakfast into the dining room and beyond. A wood-burning stove heats the main living space, which has a Smart TV with Netflix and Amazon Firestick. There is a separate games room for children, a conservatory, utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer, and a bedroom with en-suite on this level. The first floor holds the remaining five bedrooms and a family bathroom with walk-in shower. Heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi are included; the first load of wood for the burner comes with the booking.

Outside, an enclosed garden has a private hot tub seating eight, a gas barbecue, seating areas and parking for six cars. No smoking inside. There are two steps in the garden. Pets are welcome, and a travel cot and highchair are available.
