If a staycation is on the cards for your summer break then a visit to Cowley Manor in Gloucestershire is a must. This summer Cowley are running an array of family friendly offers to tempt you away from the city. 

The contemporary-chic 19th-century manor house is popular with trendy families with an emphasis on comfort all with a laid-back atmosphere and this summer there is plenty taking place to tempt us to pay a visit.

Firstly throughout July and August, children (under the age of 10 years) sharing a bedroom with an adult stay free, including a free bed, full breakfast and dinner from the Cowley Kids menu. It doesn’t get much more family friendly than that.

You will never be short of an activity or two at Cowley but we say no family summer is complete without a picnic. So book your luxury basket brimming with locally sourced and homemade ingredients and head off for a walk in the stunning grounds. However, with the hotel boasting an amazing 55 acres of parkland, woods and meadows it might be hard to choose just one spot in which to enjoy it.

The C-Side Spa has two (one indoor and one outdoor) Miami-style pools where you can splash away and with relaxation a priority- the spa itself offers some amazing treatments. There is also Pool-Side, designed to feel like you are in Ibiza with sun loungers, chilled music and a bar serving cocktails.

Finally at the end of July the Dickens’ classic tale of poverty and pick-pocketing-Oliver Twist- will be performed by a small cast under the stars. Perfect family entertainment in the heart of the Cotswolds.
