Welcome to Brownsword Hotels

Andrew & Christina Brownsword started this privately owned collection of luxury hotels inspired by locations they would like to visit over and over again.

The Gidleigh Collection takes its name from Devon’s five star hotel, Gidleigh Park, and its two-Michelin-starred restaurant, run by executive chef, Michael Caines MBE. Also part of the collection is The Bath Priory, and its Michelin-starred restaurant; Amberley Castle in West Sussex; Lower Slaughter Manor, The Slaughters Country Inn and Buckland Manor in picturesque villages in the Cotswolds.

Abode Hotels are in the heart of the cities of Canterbury, Exeter, Chester and Manchester. All share a passion for food, wine and friendliness. Heading to Glasgow or Chelsea, London, you may want to check The Arthouse or Sydney House. There is a relaxed contemporary approach to the interior design of these boutique hotels, just your cup of tea, we hope.

Join the ‘journey of discovery’ of vibrant urban locations and country retreats. For active explorers and indulgent gourmets. Wine lovers and lazy morning advocates. A journey you will want to do over and over again.
