Green & Spring’s heritage, what inspires us and how we cherish our ingredients

You are here: Home | About Us | Who We Are

Green & Spring was established by Jessica and Peter Frankopan, who set up A Curious Group of Hotels – which includes Cowley Manor and its C.Side Spa in the Cotswolds as well as L’Hotel and Le Restaurant on the Left Bank in Paris.

Inspired by the idyllic English countryside and above all the spectacular C.Side Spa and Cowley Manor estate in Gloucestershire, Jessica and Peter set out to develop a new, natural bath and body range of products which captures the spirit of the British countryside by blending herbs, flowers and plants native to the British Isles. The bath and body ranges launched in June 2009 and skincare launched in October 2009.

Peter and Jessica are university sweethearts who met at Cambridge; they have four children and live in the Cotswolds.

Cowley Manor



Cowley Manor is a fabulous country house hotel, sitting in glorious Cotswold countryside surrounded by parkland, woods and meadows. The famous gardens feature several natural springs, a series of lakes, and elaborate Victorian cascades. They are home to an internationally renowned collection of flora and fauna, vegetation and wildlife.

Cowley Manor
opened in 2002 and its award-winning design and architecture combined to pioneer the new wave of contemporary country house hotels. With emphasis on comfort, service and very few rules, Cowley Manor is the ideal place to relax, unwind and indulge in the heart of the British countryside.
