We realise that often a website or hotel brochure does not do justice to a venue, therefore we actively organise a number of educational evenings and lunches at the hotels within our collection. These events allow you to sample the hotel for yourself and experience the luxury, ambiance and hospitality first hand. A sample of upcoming events is available below, however should you wish to visit any of the hotels individually please do contact us directly.   Visit the newly refurbished Cowley Manor in Gloucestershire 29 October 2008 Click to Show /Hide         Cowley Manor has recently (this week!) undergone a full soft refurbishment of all public areas and bedrooms resulting in a fresh new look to this 30 bedroom, contemporary country hotel.
