Greenview Retreat

Greenview Retreat is a fabulous country pad for 22-plus. Very grand and oh-so English, the house is steeped in history, yet bursting with 21st century conveniences. The emphasis here is on group fun – raise the roof, make merry and celebrate! Across the road from Greenview Retreat, you will find a traditional country pub. As well as serving drinks, it boasts lunch and evening menus as well as speciality foods on theme nights.

Greenview Retreat is set in glorious Cotswold countryside on the edge of the Badminton Estate in the picturesque hamlet of Petty France. Once home to Prime Minister Robert Banks Jenkinson (and subsequently the Duke of Beaufort and Wordsworth’s family), it is believed that Lord Wellington visited during the Battle of Waterloo… The only disputes today however will be who gets to the hot tub first or who has to light the yawning fireplaces!

Beyond the sweeping gated drive and beautifully landscaped grounds, the spacious ground floor reception rooms are bathed in natural light and understated elegance, with period fireplaces and intricate mouldings. Set up your soundtrack on the Bluetooth sound system and cook up a storm in the kitchen for you and your hen party pals. Gather your tribe around the giant dining table to discuss the day and sip some wine. Then kick back on the soft sofas in the lounge or enjoy a catch-up in the conservatory.

There are six gorgeous bedrooms in all; five family rooms and one double room, together sleeping 22. Pull out beds are available for up to a further 6 guests. Two of the bedrooms are on the ground floor, one with an en suite shower room suitable for guests with limited mobility. There are five en suites include two with baths and an additional WC on both the ground and first floors.

Outside, peace and quiet reigns. The secluded spot enjoys a beautiful garden with landscaped grounds extending to far-reaching views of the surrounding Area of Outstanding Local Beauty. Kick back and relax in a sun trap or shaded area, jump in the hot tub, take tea on the patio or lawn or enjoy a Champagne picnic surrounded by magnificent shrubs and trees. As night approaches, settle in for a sophisticated soiree in the covered outdoor area and let the party bubble over in the hot tub.

Greenview Retreat is the perfect venue for unforgettable hen weekends.
