The story
Three hundred years, reimagined by the Experimental Group
Cowley Manor has stood in this fold of the Cotswolds for three hundred years, and the house makes no attempt to hide it — the stone is original, the ornamental lake still sits at the bottom of the gardens, and the Victorian cascades that feed it remain one of the more theatrical backdrops available for an outdoor ceremony. What has changed is the sensibility in the rooms: the Experimental Group, known for its hotels in Paris, New York and Verbier, took on Cowley in 2025 and applied its characteristic mix of design confidence and editorial restraint. The result is 36 bedrooms that feel genuinely individual, a bar and lounge with the atmosphere of a well-curated private members' club, and a dining room where Jackson Boxer runs a kitchen built around seasonal British ingredients handled with French technique.
The wedding offer is built around scale and flexibility. Ceremonies can be held in three different outdoor locations — the Top Lawn, the lakeside, or beside the Victorian cascades — or moved indoors to the restaurant or the more intimate Garden Room. For larger receptions the whole estate is available on an exclusive-use basis, with a marquee extending capacity to 150 guests. The C-Side Spa, with its indoor and outdoor pools, is included for all staying guests as part of every overnight package, removing one of the more familiar negotiating points in wedding planning and replacing it with something rather better.
