Bolthole Retreats was founded in 2017 by Martin McWilliam and is based in Cheltenham. We are the leading independent agency for Cotswold holiday rental properties. We work closely with owners and housekeepers to ensure that guests have a truly memorable stay. We pride ourselves on our local knowledge, whether it be of a local farm shop, cycle routes or events. Our aim is to enable guests to have the opportunity to enjoy authentic Cotswold experiences, from the Cotswold experts, in a lovely Cotswold property that suits their needs.

Surround yourselves in elegance and glamour at The Parsonage, a Grade II listed manor house set amongst 12 acres of sublime gardens. Each room is a display of grandeur from the gorgeous bedrooms to the traditionally styled shaker kitchen, just waiting for a private chef and your special occasion. Bathe in sunlight in the orangery and enjoy long conversations in the decadent sitting room with views out to the topiary adorned garden. Stroll the grounds gazing across to the Malvern Hills in the distance and sink into luxury in the secluded hot tub with a glass of champagne at the end of the day. Gather your friends and family for an unforgettable stay at this refined country manor where each moment is a delight. Please note a 25% deposit is required at the time of booking. This is fully refundable up to 60 days of arrival when your remaining balance payment is due. Book with us to get exclusive discounts to top attractions and experiences. After you have placed your booking at The Parsonage we will contact you within 48 hours to discuss the nature of your stay. The Parsonage is one of our pet-free properties and therefore dogs and other pets are not permitted. There is an open pond in the garden, children must be supervised. Please make yourself aware of the hot tub rules and hours of use. An additional fee of 150 GBP applies and it must be requested at the time of booking.  A security deposit is required. We will contact you near the time of your arrival to arrange this. Additional day guests above the maximum occupancy may be welcome for an additional fee by prior arrangement with the owner. We do not permit fireworks or sky lanterns in the grounds we have an interest in the wildlife surrounding the house and grounds.

The Parsonage sits just outside the charming village of Ombersley which offers a choice of delightful eateries and many opportunities for walks in the country and along the River Severn. Further afield the Malvern Hills beckon or for a taste of city life head into Worcester. Nearby there are plenty of opportunities for days out visiting National trust properties including Hanbury Hall and Greyfriar's House and Garden. Further afield explore the Wyre Forest and its walking and cycling trails and you can even head to Cadbury World and dive into the world of chocolate.
