 The panelled rooms, the roaring log fires in winter. The croquet lawns in summer.
The panoramic views out to the Cotswold Hills, the traditional furnishings and even a ghost story or two all conspire to make any length of stay a memorable event. And beyond 5 acres of secluded grounds lies a treasure trove of equally engaging delights. Cheltenham Racecourse is on the doorstep and the Regency splendour and excellent shopping of the town itself are only minutes away. Walks abound around the famous villages of the Cotswolds while further afield Shakespeare's Stratford, beautiful Bath and the dreaming spires of Oxford await discovery. One of the real joys of staying in a privately-owned hotel, particularly one dating back to the early 1600s is the individuality family ownership brings - from the fresh flowers in the entrance hall to the decor in each bedroom.
