About the owners:

The Manor started out as a family home for Steven Collins in which to spend
relaxing weekends in the Cotswolds. He recently decided to redevelop the Barn and the Manor, working closely with Ptolemy Dean, celebrated architect specializing in listed buildings, and Jinny Blom, award winning landscape gardener. They were presented with the Pinnacle Award by HRH Prince Charles for the restoration of its dry stone walls.

In 2009 experts in their own right; Sophie Conran & Sara Schwartz Saxon partnered with Steven to offer bespoke house parties and breaks using the top experts of their field.
