"In the Cotswold countryside, you’ll find Cowley Manor, a palatial 17th-century stone house and estate that once belonged to the king of England. Rumor has it that Lewis Carroll was a regular visitor and Cowley was the inspiration for Alice in Wonderland. You’ll see nods to the timeless storybook throughout rooms, where you’ll find bold colors and checkerboard accents. The regal rural property includes the C-Side Spa, a wellness space that seems to blend with the natural surroundings. Built with Cotswold stone and with floor-to-ceiling windows, guests feel connected with the woodlands while taking a dip in the slate-lined indoor pool or enjoying a facial treatment using products from the local vegan brand, Monu Skin. On the grounds, you’ll also find Italianate gardens dating back to the 19th century. One could easily get lost down the rabbit hole on a quiet afternoon stroll." - Caitlin Gunther
