The dream of endless summers, basking in the glow of the British countryside. Surrounded by verdant landscapes, the chatter of birds in the trees, a warm breeze caresses sun-kissed skin. A sun lounger is an invitation for an afternoon in repose. A book at your side, a refreshing cocktail from the bar in your hand. A dip in the pool to cool off on summer's hottest days. An afternoon that eases into evening, the promise of a magnificent sunset, as if skies are alight, the sun's final bow for the day. Spend the day soaking up summer at the Pool Bar at Cowley Manor Experimental, where cocktails and juices are served from midday alongside lunch and afternoon snacks. A moment best enjoyed between friends, or the ultimate indulgence of time just for you.

LOCATIONS

A journey that started in Paris, in the summer of 2007. A bar on a quiet street, the start of Paris’ cocktail renaissance. As the years went on, new chapters turned, from new cities, to restaurants and finally hotels. Today, Experimental can be found across Paris, London, New York, Venice, Verbier, Val d’Isere, Ibiza, Menorca and out in the British countryside. Each location inspired by the world around it.
