Cotswolds, England
A restored 18th-century stone house in the heart of the Cotswolds, offering 12 rooms of quiet luxury surrounded by rolling hills and ancient woodlands.
Our Story
The Marigold began as a 1742 wool merchant's house, its Cotswold stone walls holding centuries of quiet stories. When we opened our doors in 2019, we didn't want to erase that history — we wanted to honour it.
Every room has been thoughtfully restored, blending original features like inglenook fireplaces and exposed oak beams with contemporary comforts. The garden was planted by hand. The linen is washed in lavender water. The breakfast comes from farms within five miles.
This isn't a hotel you pass through. It's a place you arrive at.

Accommodation
Each of our 12 rooms tells a different story — named after wildflowers found in the surrounding meadows. All include handmade toiletries, Nespresso machines, and rain showers.
45m² · King Bed · Garden View
Our signature suite, occupying the former master's chambers. A vaulted ceiling, a cast-iron fireplace, and a deep soaking tub face the walled garden. The separate sitting area makes it perfect for lingering mornings.
30m² · Queen Bed · Courtyard View
Light-filled and serene, this room overlooks the herb garden. Original stone walls meet a palette of soft blues and natural linens. A copper bath and rainfall shower create a spa-like retreat.
28m² · Double Bed · Valley View
Warm terracotta tones and rich textures define this intimate room. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame views of the valley below. Perfect for couples seeking a cosy, romantic escape.
Dining
Our kitchen is led by Head Chef Eleanor Marsh, who sources everything from our own kitchen garden and neighbouring farms. Breakfast is a ritual here — think free-range eggs, sourdough from the village bakery, and preserves made from our orchard fruit.
Evening dining is by reservation only, with a tasting menu that changes weekly according to what's in season. The wine list is curated by our sommelier, with a focus on natural and biodynamic producers.
