ABOUT US
The Experimental Group was founded in 2007 by three childhood friends,

later joined them and shared their vision: to offer the ultimate hospitality
experience to an ever-demanding clientele.

the distance spread across 55 acres of idyllic countryside.
The refurbished
design by Dorothée Meilichzon has taken inspiration from each chapter of
Cowley Manor's book, weaving together classical inspiration with
contemporary elements across each of the estate's bedrooms. A sort of
joyeux bordel, a happy mess.
