Cotswolds Honey-Stone Manor
48 Hours of Quiet English Aristocracy, Walled Herbal Gardens, and Fireside Literature.
The Sanctuary Overview
Tucked within an unspoiled fold of the northern Cotswold hills, the Honey-Stone Manor represents the quintessential English weekend. Constructed in 1742 from locally quarried oolitic limestone that warms to a golden amber in the afternoon light, this ten-suite private estate pairs classic country gentility with contemporary botanical wellness.
