Manor Cottages is a Cotswolds based holiday cottage business and we’ve been letting holiday cottages for over 35 years.
The business has grown enormously in 35 years, but what has remained the same in all that time, are our core family values.
From day one we set out to offer honest, friendly, and trusted advice. And with this set of principles, we have grown from offering a handful of cute, thatched cottages for two, to over 300 properties of all shapes and sizes.
From spacious family getaways and grand Manors for special occasions to romantic retreats. All our holiday cottages are inspected and regularly reviewed. We have the widest selection of the best self-catering properties available in the Cotswolds.
Our cottage locations span from Stratford-upon-Avon in the north and down to Bath in the south, from Woodstock in Oxfordshire Cotswolds across to the beautiful Wye Valley.
At Manor Cottages we are proud to be offering some of the most sought-after holiday properties in this most attractive corner of the UK.
History of Manor Cottages
The Manor Cottages journey began in 1989 with a Colin and Angela, the original owners. Colin and Angela began renting their little stables out for self-catering holidays.
Next, a few friends ask for help with letting their properties out and then, before they knew it, Manor Cottages were up and running!
Manor Cottages has grown a lot since then, and now represents over 350 of the Cotswolds’ premier holiday properties. Offering marketing, management and housekeeping solutions for holiday home owners throughout this area of outstanding natural beauty.
Proudly part of the award winning Sykes Holiday Cottages, but maintaining their local presence and team at their office in Burford, Manor Cottages continues to offer a bespoke service for holiday home owners in need of a little help.
