The Greenway takes its name from the pre-roman path, which runs beside the hotel and up onto the Cotswold Hills beyond. ‘Green way’ meant grove road or sheep road and must therefore have been one of the safe walkways through the surrounding hillsides when lowlands were covered in marsh and forest and inhabited by wild animals.
The land upon which the Greenway stands was originally known as the Little Shurdington Estate, and first records show that it belonged to the Lawrence Family as early as 1521. William Lawrence inherited the estate in 1584 and records show that he commenced building the main house immediately.
By 1616 the manor was well established. Then in 1638, William’s son, William, and his second wife, Dulcibella, inherited the estate. After William’s passing, his wife inherited the estate in 1682. By 1736 Dulcibella had died, and the estate was passed to William’s godson; Littleton Lawrence.
The Lawrence family eventually sold the estate in 1854, and it was bought by Colonel Godfrey. In 1909 the Venerable Archdeacon Sinclair of Hatherley purchased it, who then proceeded to sell it to George Constable Hayes in 1919.
In 1946 the house again sold, and opened as a hotel a year later. Our award-winning spa hotel in Cheltenham proudly become part of the Eden Hotel Collection in 2011.
To this day, The Greenway spa hotel in Cheltenham, has a strong reputation for its friendly and impeccable service and rigorous attention to detail. We continue to go from strength to strength, as one of the most beautiful country manor hotels in England, serving as a home from home for all our guests.
