Artists Oasis in Cotswolds

Spacious and stylish, The Rose House blends the traditional country home with a tribal and exotic feel. The house has been designed for guests to enjoy their own unique room, each with an en-suite bathroom, whilst providing vibrant, photogenic spaces to come together, relax and enjoy.

The space
As well as being a stone's throw from two lovely eateries - The Castle, in Edgehill (just around the corner from the Rose House) and The Rose and Crown in Ratley (5 min walk), the Rose House is also minutes away from Upton House and Gardens and Compton Verney Art Gallery and Park. Stratford-upon-Avon, Daylesford Organic Farmshop and Soho Farmhouse are all just a 30 minute drive away.

Cosy and calm yet rich in colour and texture, The Rose House is superb for entertaining with its large kitchen island, complete with handmade bar stools, stunning, spacious lounge and idyllic outdoor space. Alternatively it makes an exotic hub to explore the Cotswolds and its beautiful surroundings for a longer stay. Perfect for family holidays, small groups or a romantic stay.

The property is spread over three floors; ground floor, first floor and attic.

The space in itself comprises of:

Ground floor:
The lounge is the hub of the Rose House. It features a grand fireplace adorned with African masks and exotic pieces from across the world.

With its large island and bar stools, the kitchen is the perfect shared space for an informal meal and/or evening drinks. It includes all modern amenities including a large fridge, freezer, separate wine fridge and fresh coffee maker. Why not visit the local Cotswolds gin distillery to top up the drinks fridge...

The dining room/botanical breakfast room; a delightfully sunny and tropical space leading on from the kitchen. The space extends into the garden and a unique little outdoor area...

Downstairs toilet and utility room; please feel free to utilise the washing and ironing facilities should you require it.

First floor:
Master Bedroom I; the master suite of the house, this room is as spacious as it is special. Featuring a four poster bed and the pièce de résistance, a crystal bathtub.

Master Bedroom II; the second largest bedroom, this room has a more masculine energy with a king size sleigh bed and a minimalist feel. The en-suite is also sizable and exudes cool.

The French Room; a smaller but equally beautiful room, reminiscent of its namesake. This room also features a small but perfect formed en-suite toilet and shower. Look out for the exquisite antique sink.

Second floor:
Attic Room; at the top of the house you’ll find this cosy attic space with a view. The room has a single antique Indian bed. There is a bathroom across a private landing. Be warned, due to its location in the house the space has sloped ceilings.

All rooms are decorated to high standards and have lamps or dimmers for soft, atmospheric lighting. Around every corner you’ll find beautiful furniture, soft furnishings, antiques and artwork. High quality linen and towels are provided in each bedroom and bathroom as well as high quality toiletries.

The gardens:
The Rose House was built in the grounds of a disused quarry, lending to the feeling of being enclosed in a private sunken garden; your own oasis!

There is a miniature rose garden for two to enjoy a morning coffee, and outdoor dining designed for 6 where you can start your evening with a glass of wine sitting comfortably near the pond - you might see one of the 4 Japanese Koi Fish!

There is also a sitting area just outside the dining room created within a herb garden.

If you prefer to explore the local area, there are two pubs within walking distance.

Guest access:
Guests have full and private access to the main house and its beautiful sculptured gardens.There is ample, gated parking for 4 cars.

Please be aware that there is a small but deep pond (2 metres) in the courtyard.

We kindly request no hen or stag do’s due to the property being in a residential area.

Check in is from 3pm. We can be flexible with time with prior arrangement.

The most amazing place to stay! Margosia’s artistic vision fills the place with color, texture and form, while her exquisite sense of balance and commitment to quality and detail keeps everything comfortable and never fussy. The garden is an oasis of calm while also providing the same multi layered delights as the house. Not to mention, as a host Margosia is second to none: kind, communicative and available without being intrusive. My family feel very blessed to have stayed here for a week. Thank you Margosia!

An artistic wonderland
Entering Malgosia’s house is like entering a different world. A unique experience with an abundance of treasures to be discovered. Sitting in the garden made me feel like I was on a retreat. We had a wonderful stay and would recommend it to anyone.

Fabulous house, easy to stay in
The house suited us perfectly, the garden is beautifully done and adds a very lovely special room to the house itself. Worth mentioning that there are no doors on any of the bathrooms but the house is beautifully decorated, cosy, all new, colourful and very functional. Thank you, a wonderful time was had by all.

Perfect girls weekend
Amazing house, with a quirky luxurious style. The house is set in the most gorgeous surroundings and offered everything we needed to relax. We spent most of our time around the kitchen island or in the cosy lounge. All bedrooms had their own en suites and very comfy beds. The owners had thought of everything to make our stay special. Perfectly located in a quiet village, close to good pubs and walks. And close drive to other cotswolds areas.
