A Hidden Gem in Cheltenham: Why The Greenway Hotel & Spa Is Perfect for Weddings and Proposals

Yesterday’s proposal at The Greenway Hotel & Spa in Cheltenham was absolutely magical, and I’m delighted to share a little behind-the-scenes of why this stunning venue captured my heart 🎻

🏛️ A Historic Country Manor

Step through the gates of The Greenway and you enter an Elizabethan manor house built between 1584–1616—an atmospheric setting brimming with timeless elegance and stories from centuries past.

It became a hotel in 1947 and has been a proud member of the Eden Hotel Collection since 2011, earning 4 AA Red Stars and AA Small Hotel Group of the Year 2024–25 

✨ Impeccable Service & Warmth

From the moment I arrived, the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive—they greeted us with warmth, assisted with setup details, and ensured every moment flowed beautifully. Their dedication really elevated the experience .

🌿 Four Enchanting Event Spaces

I was fortunate to be shown a full tour of the property, and I was struck by how well-suited The Greenway is for every stage of a wedding or proposal:

• Drawing Room & Ceremony Space – an elegant interior full of character, featuring original beams, grand windows, and historic charm.

• Croquet Terrace – a beautifully manicured garden space overlooking sunlit Cotswolds lawns, perfect for champagne toasts and romantic outdoor moments.

• Restaurant & Breakfast Room – a 3 AA Rosette Dining space that balances sophistication with intimacy, ideal for a beautifully curated wedding breakfast

• Evening Reception & First Dance Area – a flexible space with elegant lighting and acoustics, perfect for live music and celebration.

  
  

🛁 Spa & Concierge Luxury

For couples or guests staying over, the hotel offers a blissful spa with an indoor pool, sauna, steam room, and outdoor hot tub—plus beautifully appointed rooms with views across eight acres of gardens.
