Good Hotel Guide Review
The hotel experts at the Good Hotel Guide
In a Tudor manor house in the Cotswolds just across from Cheltenham Racecourse, this hotel with spa and 90 acres of grounds is both family and dog-friendly. There is a wide choice of bedrooms spread across the estate, some with four-poster and roll-top bath, all with minibar and espresso machine. Dog-friendly contemporary garden rooms have a private patio. You can dine in the panelled dining room, or the brasserie, on classic fare, perhaps chateaubriand from the grill, or gurnard, potato and leek chowder and clams. And where better for a Bloody Mary than in the galleried Great Hall with its diamond-paned casements, heraldic glass, roaring fire, and portraits of Tudor royalty?
