NEW PROPERTY ALERT! Wow – just take a look at the latest addition to our fabulous collection of large group holiday houses! Sleeping 24, with a private indoor pool, sauna, and Gathering Room/yoga studio, Cowslip Manor brings you peace and quiet in beautiful surroundings in the Somerset countryside, and everything you need for an unforgettable large group stay!

New to Group Stays for June 2025 is Cowslip Manor in Somerset; within easy reach of the M5 (J21), only 10 minutes from the sandy beaches at Weston-Super-Mare, and little over half an hour from Bristol. Yet here you are, tucked away in the countryside in a world of your own. Cowslip Manor makes the perfect country escape for holidays with family and friends, for joyful celebrations with the special people in your life, for elegant hen weekends, relaxing wellness retreats, and for corporate stays to impress and inspire. This luxury large group holiday house has so much appeal for all ages and all occasions.

11 bedrooms sleep 24, over the main house and 3 smaller cottages just a few strides away. It’s the kind of set up that gives you the freedom to gather together and to have your own space when you need it, the kind of arrangement that works well for families with younger children, and for multi-generational stays with older folk; great for night owls, great for early birds.

There are so many reasons to stay at Cowslip Manor, no matter when or why:

• Exclusive use of facilities all year round – an indoor pool and sauna, a Gathering Room for celebrations, feasting, dance-offs, yoga and meditation.
• Heaps of space – well proportioned rooms over the main house (sleeps 10 in 5 ensuite bedrooms) and 3 cottages – Cowbane Cottage and Cowberry Cottage sleep 6, Bedstraw Cottage sleeps 2.
• Large private grounds – room to play and to amble, peace and tranquillity. Picnic on the manicured lawns, stroll through the romantic rose garden, wander around the duck pond and through the apple orchard.

• Lots to see and do nearby – there are some fantastic attractions within easy reach of Cowslip Manor. Spend days on the beach at Weston-Super-Mare, discover Bristol where there’s so much to see and do – visit Bristol Aquarium and SS Great Britain at the vibrant harbourside, chic Clifton Village with its one-off boutiques, restaurants and local pubs, explore the wide open Downs and the buzzing markets in the city centre. Take day trips to Tyntesfield, Wookey Hole and the beautiful city of Bath.

• Gorgeous interiors – it’s so good to find a large holiday house that ticks every single box, including how it’s decorated and furnished. Cowslip Manor is a delicious slice of country living, with the perfect blend of style, original features, comfort and convenience. The feels are warm and homely, and it’s so nicely done. You’ll settle in within minutes of arriving, you’ll wish you could stay forever.
• Bespoke Experiences – Make your stay at Cowslip Manor just the way you want it to be. We work with local suppliers who can bring whatever you want to your luxury group holiday accommodation. Private chefs, birthday cakes, pampering, activities, entertainment and more. Want a private spa day with pampering and yoga tuition, maybe a gong bath too? So it shall be. Thinking a casino night in all your finery, a murder mystery, or something wacky like an old school sports day? No problem! Our partners My Event Concierge can do it all. Shape your stay, fill your Insta feed with the pics, love the memories.

• Great for wellness retreats – sometimes we all feel a bit frazzled, a bit overwhelmed with the crazy pace of life; a wellness retreat gives us time to slow down, to breathe deep, to completely unwind. Cowslip Manor is ideal for these kinds of breaks; large tranquil grounds, a private indoor pool, a sauna, a space that can easily be transformed for yoga and meditation, and 2 treatment rooms for hire. You’ll be floating on air by the time you leave.

• Great for corporate breaks – whether it’s team building, rewards or hospitality, this is a superb base for a corporate break. Organise activities, catering and entertainment, have the Gathering Room set up for meetings, presentations and workshops to suit your agenda. The fresh air and gorgeous surroundings will focus and enthuse, the relaxed vibe will foster strong work connections, your clients will be so impressed.
• Great for celebrations – if you’re not one for a big bash when there’s something to celebrate, spending a few days away with your nearest and dearest is the answer. But that doesn’t mean you can’t go to town; hire florists to make it all look fab with blooms and balloons, pick a local chef to create a very special feast, order a cake, book activities, outings and entertainment. Because you know what? You are SO worth it.

• Great for hen weekends – We’re not talking brash and screechy hen weekends here, we’re talking elegant, sophisticated. Maybe a little pampering, a craft session, afternoon tea in the drawing room, but you can still let your hair down with dancing and karaoke in the Gathering Room, private cocktail waiters and a scrumptious celebration feast cooked by your chosen private chef.
• Great for family holidays – because there’s so much to do! Splash in the pool, together, have dance offs in the Gathering Room, run about on the lawns, play rounders, hide-and-seek and kiss chase. Feed the ducks, catch apple blossom drifting from the orchard in springtime, gather for big happy feasts, visit Puxton Park, spend days by the sea at Weston-Super-Mare making sandcastles and having donkey rides.
• A good base for local events – with Bristol just half an hour away, this is the perfect place to stay if you’ve got tickets to a big event. A sports match, a live music concert, a musicals, a theatre show – make this your base and add to the experience.

• Complimentary pass to Puxton Park for all guests – just a 5-minute walk away, Puxton Park makes for a brilliant day out for the whole family. There are animals to meet, an adventure area, water pursuits and indoor soft play. Think happy shiny people.

So many special memories are waiting to be made at Cowslip Manor, this is where your big happy can be found. It’s a house for everyone in all seasons. Book your stay today!
