A picture of traditional English elegance, Gloucestershire is defined by its exquisite spa and market towns, stately homes, and fresh green landscapes.
Here you can savour high tea in medieval market squares, after a day of walking through scenic Cotswold villages, or whizzing through the wildlife-steeped Forest of Dean on two wheels.
Also boasting vibrant festivals and sporting events galore, there’s no shortage of ways to spend your time!
Enjoy them all to your hearts’ content, before heading back to the luxurious comfort of one of these suitably unusual retreats.
