Situation
Standing on rising ground in the centre of this classic Cotswold village, built around Cowley Manor, which is now run as an exclusive country house hotel. The village nestles in an incredibly quiet valley roughly equidistant between Cirencester and Cheltenham. The latter offers a wide range of shops, restaurants, wine bars and a good variety of internationally recognised schools, also within a short drive of Rendcomb College.
