UK: Cotswolds manor house hotel Stonehouse Court had acquired the keys to the original coach house and stables on its six-acre grounds.
Located in Stroud Valley in Gloucestershire, Stonehouse Court Hotel has acquired Little Court – an eight-bedroom, Grade ll-listed coach house and stables next to its property.
The hotel has partnered with interior designer Squid.inc and landscape designer Thomas Hoblyn to transform the coach house into retreat-style accommodation. Plans include linking both sites via the hotel’s front gardens.
Maz Jurko, general manager at Stonehouse Court, said: “We’re thrilled to finally reunite the original 17th century coach house and stables to our manor house, in an exciting project that will transform it into a stunning example of high-end, Cotswolds accommodation.
“At Stonehouse Court, we have always embraced the rich history and heritage of the region, and with this new venture, we aim to elevate that experience further for our guests. By partnering with local designers and landscape experts, we are not only ensuring that Little Court retains its historic charm but also infusing it with contemporary elements and sustainable practices that reflect our own commitment to preserving the beauty of the Stroud Valley for future generations.
“While this is an ambitious undertaking, we hope to have everything in place ready for a spring 2025 opening – providing the perfect opportunity to explore and discover this breathtaking region,” he added.
