The Greenway Hotel & Spa takes board meetings, training days, private dinners and weddings, from a table of 10 to 120 evening guests, with 21 bedrooms for those who stay over. The house is a 16th-century Elizabethan manor set in eight acres of grounds at Shurdington, on the southern edge of Cheltenham in Gloucestershire. It belongs to Eden Hotel Collection, which the AA named Small Hotel Group of the Year for 2024-2025.
Seminars and company events
Meetings here are small and focused. The Panel Room is the main meeting space, set for 16 around a boardroom table, 35 in theater rows or 22 at dinner. The Austen Room takes 10 in boardroom style or 15 in theater layout, which suits an interview panel or a leadership session. Room hire includes a flipchart, stationery, conference pads, pencils and mineral water, and wireless broadband runs in the conference rooms, though the hotel asks organizers to confirm it when they inquire. The hotel also publishes meeting packages and team day formats, so a day of work can end with dinner in one of the private rooms and a night in the house.
Weddings and receptions
The Greenway holds a civil ceremony license and hosts only one wedding a day. Couples can marry indoors or outside, add a marquee, or take the whole hotel on an exclusive-use basis. The wedding breakfast seats 60 and the evening party grows to 120 guests. The head chef writes wedding menus around seasonal dishes and local ingredients, and viewings can be arranged with the events team.
Rooms and capacities
Seven spaces are listed. The Wold Restaurant, formed by the Conservatory and the Old Dining Room, seats 60 for a banquet, 21 for a set dinner or 24 with room to dance. Taken alone, the Conservatory seats 13 and the Old Dining Room 8. The Orchard Brasserie seats 14 and The Hide 12 for private dining. With the Panel Room and the Austen Room, this gives a set of rooms sized for groups under 60 at table, rather than one large hall.
Accommodation
The hotel has 21 bedrooms in seven categories: Classic Lodge, Classic, Deluxe, Master, Feature, Manor Four Poster and Manor Suite. Guests also have the Elan Spa, a pool and a gym, which gives a residential seminar a way to break up the day.
Catering
Food is cooked in-house. The restaurant holds three AA Rosettes and serves modern British cooking based on local, seasonal produce. Afternoon tea, private dining and wedding menus come from the same kitchen, so a group can move from a working lunch to a formal dinner without bringing in an outside caterer.
History and setting
The manor dates from the 16th century and keeps its Elizabethan character. The hotel holds four AA Red Stars and a gold sustainability award. Its eight acres of countryside give space for a walk or a team photo between sessions, away from the town center.
Getting there
The postal address is Shurdington, Cheltenham, GL51 4UG, and the hotel gives GL51 4UE for satellite navigation. Cheltenham Spa railway station is a short taxi ride away, and the M5 motorway runs past Cheltenham, which makes the house reachable by road from Bristol, Birmingham and London.
