The Tawny Hotel has launches a collection of brand-new family escapes, The Owlets - a cluster of historic farm buildings redesigned as five distinct hideaways. 

Tucked away on The Tawny’s Basford Estate - a beautifully rewilded landscape also home to its Fledgling self-catering houses - the new cottages offer one-to-four bedroom stays, each individually designed with heritage features and a sense of nostalgic charm. 

Outside, each cottage enjoys its own private garden complete with BBQ and alfresco dining area, as well as The Tawny’s signature outdoor William Holland Jacuzzi spa bath.

The cottages also boast a shared heated swimming pool, private alfresco dining with BBQs, and fun garden games and activities to enjoy.

In celebration of their proximity to the RSPB Consall Nature Park, which boasts 740 acres of woodland and rich biodiversity, each cottage has been uniquely named after British butterflies: Meadowfold, Silverleaf, Duskhollow, Bluebell, and Amberwing.

• Meadowfold Farmhouse, 4 bedrooms (sleeps 8)
• Silverleaf Stables, 3 bedrooms (sleeps 6)
• Duskhollow View, 2 bedrooms (sleeps 4)
• Bluebell Rise, 2 bedrooms (sleeps 4)
• Amberwing Cottage, 1 bedroom (sleeps 2)

Guests can enjoy the combination of privacy and space, while also benefiting from The Tawny’s luxury hotel amenities and newly-awarded 3 AA Rosette restaurant on the neighbouring Consall Hall Estate.

To celebrate the launch of the Owlets, The Tawny has introduced new ‘Little Gardener Kits’, designed to inspire children to explore and connect with the surrounding natural landscape. Each kit follows a nature theme and includes fact sheets, a wooden butterfly house to build, sticker books, pens, and packets of wildflower seeds. 

Back at the cottages, families will also love all the little extra experiences on offer, including a brand-new in-cottage pottery throwing workshop with Wedgwood, and movie night hampers, complete with hot chocolate with marshmallows, and popcorn. 

Stays start from £350/night for a 1-bedroom cottage (min. 2 nights) To book, visit thetawny.co.uk.
