History
At the heart of Calcot & Spa in the Cotswolds stands a tithe barn built around 1300 by the monks of Kingswood Abbey, its datestone reading MCCC in the reign of Edward I; a 16th-century manor house was later added. The Estcourt family owned the estate for centuries from 1598, and the buildings survived a lightning strike in 1728 that prompted rebuilding the following year.
The property opened as a luxury hotel in 1984 under the Ball family with seven bedrooms. In 1992 Michael and Louisa Stone bought it, adding a spa, a crche, the Conservatory Brasserie and the Gumstool Inn while converting the medieval barns, and it became the flagship of the Calcot Collection set across 220 acres of rewilded Cotswold land.
