History
The Greenway occupies a Grade II listed Elizabethan manor house begun in 1584 for the Lawrence family, whose main range was completed in stages through the early 17th century on the Little Shurdington estate south of Cheltenham. The house takes its name from the pre-Roman "green way" — an ancient drovers' sheep road that climbed toward a nearby Long Barrow burial mound — and retains a limestone Tudor fireplace, oak panelling and a 16th-century stairwell.
The Lawrence family held the estate for centuries before it passed on in 1854, and the manor was converted into a hotel around 1946–1947. Today it operates as a 21-room country-house hotel set in eight acres, part of the Eden Hotel Collection since 2011, with an ESPA spa, hydrotherapy pool and a kitchen that has drawn regional acclaim.
