Finest Retreats | ARC Painswick
Please note that this property is currently available to book from May, however earlier interest is invited. Please contact Finest Retreats for more information.
This Grade II listed building is situated right in the heart of the popular Cotswolds village of Painswick, across from the famous St. Mary's churchyard with its immaculately kept ninety-nine yew trees. The property has recently undergone extensive renovation works by Parti Architects and provides the perfect luxury escape for large friends-and-family get-togethers. Light, space and materials have been crafted and curated to provide a distinctive yet homely feel to the house with an attention to detail that guests will come to expect from the ARC collection of properties.
The house itself provides nine bedrooms with sleeping for up to twenty-four people. All of the double beds can be split into singles on request. The house is arranged around a central courtyard which, along with the pool and BBQ area to the rear provide wonderful spaces for everyone to socialise. A pizza oven/braii and firepit courtyard create a lovely spot for the social evenings whilst the outdoor swimming pool is a wonderful feature to provide hours of fun and is heated between the months of April and October.
The layout will takes you on a journey no matter the entrance you start at and guests will love exploring the interconnected rooms and multiple staircases. On the ground floor can be found the large dining area which seats twenty-six, the projector room and bar area, two separate living rooms and a snug. The kitchen is perfectly designed for cooking up big family feasts: It boasts four ovens, two hobs, two dishwashers a wine fridge and all the appliances are Miele.
The bedrooms can be found up the numerous characterful staircases and are spread across the first and second floors. Bedrooms 1-7 are all ensuite with a luxurious free-standing bath in one of the bedrooms. Bedrooms 8 and 9 share two shower rooms and make the perfect spot for those with a young family. All of the bedrooms are crafted as welcoming and calm spaces with a stylish decor for a relaxing ambience.
There is free parking throughout Painswick as well as a free, large village car park only two minutes' walk away.
Painswick is surrounded by beautiful countryside and set in an area of outstanding natural beauty. It is rightfully called "Queen of the Cotswolds" and the village lies at the mid-point of the Cotswold Way national trail, approximately fifty miles from Chipping Campden to the north and fifty miles from Bath in the south. Many of the buildings in the village are made from locally quarried Cotswold stone, resulting from the prosperous wool and cloth trade in centuries past. The pretty church of St. Mary's is a popular wedding venue and is surrounded by the famous ninety-nine yew trees and table tombs which fill the church grounds.
In the village there is a variety of small shops, cafes, restaurants and the local pub with large open fire is only fifty meters up the road.
ARC is a curated and crafted collection of the most remarkable homestays, from the minds of London-based architecture studio Parti and design studio Regular Practice.
Designed to be shared, ARC effortlessly combines the charm and attention to detail of boutique hotels with the repose of rural life; embodying a modern luxury that replaces glitz, glamour and bling with an architectural elegance, comfort and purpose.
Comfortably hosting up to 30 people per house, our ARCs are curated experiences like no other; furnished with all the creature comforts and convenience needed to make your stay as easy as possible.
Guests can plan as much or as little as they’d like, using our online Lobby to curate their stay; from the best local breakfast delivered to your door, and a private bartender for cocktails night, to in-house yoga and a personal photographer to document the getaway.
Throughout the homes you’ll find the latest extraordinary work from our ARC Salon, an ever-updating inhouse cultural program exhibiting the artwork of emerging talent – created to support the greatest local artists, designers and thinkers. There to admire and inspire, all pieces are also available to purchase as a lasting keepsake of time well spent, together.
ARC Painswick is nestled between Cotswold cottages, occupying the principal corner of the town. This charming location is further enhanced by its proximity to the delightful local pub, as well as the coffee shop and boutique known as 'Meadows.' The allure of the property is heightened by this prime positioning. In order to ensure the tranquility and comfort of our wonderful neighbours, we kindly request that guests consider their needs, particularly after 10 pm. To maintain the peace, we ask that the swimming pool courtyard not be used during the night hours, and all doors leading to this area be kept closed. However, guests are still welcome to enjoy the internal Fire-pit courtyard after 10 pm, while displaying courteous behaviour. Our attentive ARC Manager actively oversees these measures, fostering a harmonious coexistence between our valued guests and the local community.
