Cowley Manor / A whimsical reimagination of a country house hotel

"Oh how I long to run away from normal days, I want to run wild with my imagination" Home to a secret garden said to have inspired Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland, Cowley Manor is quite simply a magical, almost whimsical reinterpretation of the English country house. Following a takeover by the brilliant Experimental Group, this sprawling estate has been brought firmly into the modern age with bold interiors that are all about celebrating eccentricity with a big old dollop of joy. Here to tell Molly all about it is Xavier Padovani who joined the group in 2010 and has brought spaces to life around Europe and NYC. Join Molly and Xavier as they talk about creating a space for locals and tourists alike to wander the extensive grounds, laze away the days in the (rather spectacular spa) or dive into a long evening of feasting.
