Grove House

About this property

Grove House invites you beyond the ordinary into a Cotswold escape where history and modern living entwine among sweeping parkland. Set within the celebrated Matara Centre near Tetbury, this distinguished Grade II listed country house has evolved over centuries into a capacious family retreat that comfortably sleeps up to 20 guests across ten beautifully styled bedrooms, making it ideal for large gatherings, multi-generation holidays or a momentous celebration with close friends and family.

Stepping inside, you’ll find interiors that balance timeless character with thoughtful contemporary comforts. Generous communal spaces encourage relaxed convivial living; a farmhouse-style kitchen and informal dining area become the heart of the home, while multiple sitting rooms, a library and cosy corners with open fireplaces set the stage for shared laughter and lingering evenings. Outside, the real gem of the property is its stunning Asian-inspired gardens - beautifully designed spaces to explore, wander and enjoy at your own pace. Set within 28 acres of rewilded parkland and woodland paths, the grounds offer countless peaceful spots to pause, unwind and reconnect with nature. A private hot tub adds a touch of indulgence after a day exploring the Cotswold countryside.

With pets welcome and plenty of room to roam, mornings might begin with coffee beneath ancient trees, and afternoons could find you discovering nearby treasures such as Westonbirt Arboretum, the historic market town of Tetbury or the rolling trails of the Cotswold Way.

Imagine evenings gathered under high ceilings, the glow of lamplit rooms and heartfelt conversations flowing with ease. Grove House offers a setting where generations come together, stories are shared and the charm of rural England becomes part of your stay.

Nestled in the peaceful village of Kingscote, this elegant country house is surrounded by rolling Cotswold hills and honey-stone cottages within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The historic Church of St John the Baptist, with Norman origins, anchors the village, lending a timeless sense of heritage to the landscape.

Footpaths lead directly from the village into open countryside, connecting with the Cotswold Way National Trail for panoramic walks across wooded valleys and farmland. Kingscote railway station is part of the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Steam Railway, where heritage locomotives travel through the scenic Cotswold countryside toward Winchcombe and Cheltenham. Just a short drive away, Westonbirt Arboretum is internationally renowned for its remarkable collection of trees and seasonal colour, particularly spectacular in autumn. The nearby market town of Wotton-under-Edge offers independent shops, traditional pubs and a weekly market, while ancient sites such as Nympsfield Long Barrow provide a fascinating glimpse into the area’s prehistoric past.
