The Greenway Hotel & Spa

The Greenway Hotel & Spa – The Greenway Hotel & Spa

Overview

Set just beyond the regency bustle of Cheltenham, The Greenway Hotel & Spa sits in eight acres of landscaped grounds at the gateway to the Cotswolds. This 16th-century Elizabethan manor offers a quietly indulgent base for a one- or two-night break, combining country house charm with contemporary comforts. Its tranquil setting appeals to food lovers, spa-goers and anyone seeking a refined escape near Cheltenham and the rolling Cotswolds countryside.

Eat

Dining at The Greenway is a highlight, with the elegant restaurant making the most of seasonality and local produce. Under Head Chef Abhijit Dasalkar, the kitchen takes inspiration from British and European classics, leveraging Gloucestershire’s larder for both à la carte and set menus. Expect thoughtful presentation and vibrant flavours: starters might include delicately cured trout or artfully plated heritage beetroot, with mains such as herb-crusted lamb or pan-roast fish complemented by foraged herbs and robust sauces. Sunday lunches and afternoon teas offer something more relaxed but never less attentive, and the wine list is curated for both adventurous pairings and reliable favourites. Service remains unobtrusive, enhancing the sense of occasion, whether celebrating or simply indulging in a languid Cotswolds evening.

Sleep

Bedrooms at The Greenway are individually designed, blending period features—think exposed beams, leaded windows, and subtle wallpapers—with plush fabrics and modern comforts. Room categories include Classic, Deluxe, Feature, and Master, many offering wide views to gardens or fields. Large beds, deep baths, and thoughtful touches create a restful environment for couples, friends on a country escape, or anyone seeking a gentle buffer between spa treatments and dinner. Recently refreshed spaces ensure an inviting setting, whether you’re here for a whirlwind gourmet night or a restorative longer stay in Gloucestershire.

Retreat

A visit here is as much about meandering as it is fine dining. The Elan Spa is a destination in itself, with hydrotherapy pool, a range of treatments, sauna, steam room and relaxing spaces that make unwinding effortless. The gardens invite an early morning stroll or a post-lunch wander, depending on the season. Cheltenham’s independent shops and festivals are a ten-minute drive, while hikes in the Cotswold countryside are easily accessible—a treat for walkers and cyclists alike. London is under two hours by train, with the M5 and Cheltenham station both close by, making The Greenway an easy yet spoiling choice for a Cotswold gourmet break.
