visited Visited on location by Nice2stay

Tucked away down a narrow cobbled street in the heart of the historic wool town of Painswick in the Cotswolds, you'll find ARC Painswick. This 15th-century Grade II listed mansion has been astonishingly restored to its ancestral beauty and embellished with luxurious, modern amenities. Original brickwork and beamed ceilings blend harmoniously with contemporary art, carefully chosen details, and high-quality furnishings to create a 'wow effect' in every room.

Inside, the house features two separate living rooms, furnished with soft seating and historic fireplaces, and a cozy 'snug', which can be converted into an additional bedroom if required. The kitchen is impressive with a 7-metre-long cooking island and all the amenities to cook a family meal, which you can enjoy in the luxurious dining room at the custom-made table that seats 26 guests. For epic movie nights, there is a projector room with recessed cinema seats and a bar where you can enjoy evening cocktails. A series of characterful stairs lead to the nine elegant, beautifully decorated bedrooms, most with en-suite bathrooms!

With its heated outdoor pool and large dining table, the picturesque central courtyard is the perfect place to spend a lazy afternoon enjoying the sunshine and views over the local Painswick Hills. Chefs can show off their culinary delights on the pizza oven and braai while the fire pit invites you to gather under the stars. For an optimal holiday feeling, use the online concierge service ARC Lobby to order delicacies, including a delicious breakfast, but also for yoga in the house, a bartender for cocktail evenings, and many sporting activities in the area.

If you feel like going out, Painswick offers lovely pubs and cafes and is a perfect starting point for refreshing walks in the countryside or immersing yourself in an authentic Cotswold atmosphere.
