We Love
- The setting — a 16th-century Elizabethan manor in eight acres of gardens and Cotswold countryside, a few minutes from Regency Cheltenham yet thoroughly in the country.
- The Garden Room — the hotel's AA Rosette restaurant, serving modern British cooking from local produce under head chef Abhijit Dasalkar, with garden views.
- The Elan Spa — a proper destination spa with a hydrotherapy pool, thermal suite, sauna, steam, sanarium, outdoor hot tub and a gym, for a full spa day.
- The Lodge — a restored gatehouse a short walk down the drive, a quieter, more private base for a couple or a family wanting space of their own.
- The grounds — lawns, a sunken garden and the secluded Hide for outdoor afternoon tea, with the gardens and countryside the backdrop to the whole stay.

Origins
The Greenway began life as an Elizabethan manor house, built in the sixteenth century at Shurdington, just south of what would later become the Regency spa town of Cheltenham. For centuries it was a private country house, set in its own grounds beneath the Cotswold escarpment; in the twentieth century it became a hotel, and today it stands in eight acres of gardens and parkland as one of the better-known country-house hotels in this corner of Gloucestershire.
The appeal is the classic English country-house combination, done properly. The manor itself holds 21 individually designed bedrooms, each with its own colour and character, with a restored gatehouse lodge a short walk down the drive for those who want more privacy. Downstairs, the panelled lounges and the Garden Room restaurant look out over the gardens; the cooking is modern British, built on local Gloucestershire produce, and has earned the restaurant its AA Rosette standing under head chef Abhijit Dasalkar.
What lifts it beyond a pretty manor is the spa. The Elan Spa is a genuine destination in its own right, with a hydrotherapy pool, a thermal suite of sauna, steam and sanarium, an outdoor hot tub and a gym, and a full menu of treatments — the kind of facility that makes the hotel as much a place to come for a restorative weekend as a base for sightseeing. Add the gardens, the secluded Hide for outdoor afternoon tea, and a serious commitment to sustainability, and The Greenway makes a strong case as a Cotswold all-rounder: history, food, spa and countryside in one place, minutes from Cheltenham.
Top Secret
The gatehouse lodge is the quiet move. Set about 500 yards from the manor at the end of the drive, the restored lodge gives a couple or a family their own front door and a measure of privacy you do not get in the main house, while still having the restaurant, spa and grounds on the doorstep. For a special occasion — or simply a quieter stay — ask about the lodge well ahead, as it is a single building and books up fast around weekends and the Cheltenham racing and festival dates.
The Review
The Greenway is the kind of English country-house hotel the Cotswolds do so well, and a strong all-rounder among them. A 16th-century Elizabethan manor in eight acres of gardens, a few minutes south of Cheltenham, it pairs a genuinely historic house with two things that lift it above the average: a serious kitchen and a serious spa. The 21 bedrooms are individually designed and comfortable, the panelled public rooms warm and traditional, and the whole place is run with the easy, attentive style the Cotswolds expect.
The Garden Room is the heart of it for many guests — modern British cooking on local produce, looking out over the gardens — backed by a relaxed afternoon tea and a generous Sunday lunch. The Elan Spa is the other draw, and a real one: a hydrotherapy pool, thermal suite, outdoor hot tub and a full treatment list make it a destination for a spa day or a restorative weekend rather than an afterthought. Outside, eight acres of gardens, a sunken garden and the secluded Hide give the place room to breathe.
It suits couples after a food-and-spa weekend, families wanting a country base with a pool, and anyone using Cheltenham and the Cotswolds as a touring base — with the gatehouse lodge an appealing option for a little more privacy. For a Cotswold country-house stay that takes its food and its spa as seriously as its setting, The Greenway is among the most rounded choices near Cheltenham.
