OUR EXPERIENCES IN THE COTSWOLDS |

OUR VISIT TO THE ROLLRIGHT STONES |
We set off on a crisp January morning, the air biting with a frosty chill. Our destination: The Rollright Stones.
This impressive arrangement of weathered boulders is mesmerising and impressive. You can get right up close and personal, walk around each individual stone, make friends with the resident robins, and fully enjoy being immersed in the history of this ancient site. |

OUR UNFORGETTABLE STAY AT THORNBURY CASTLE |
Think grand fireplaces, sprawling grounds, whispering tales of a bygone era, wonderful culinary experiences, and a suite so luxurious it would have pleased Henry VIII himself. |

OUR LOVELY GETAWAY AT HOBURNE COTSWOLD |
We stayed in in a luxurious dog-friendly static caravan, a spacious two-bedroom, two-bathroom home with a fully equipped kitchen, living room, hallway, and a large decking area. The highlight was the enormous hot tub – we could have invited 6 friends to join us in there and still had space to wiggle our toes. |

A SPECTACULAR DINING & SPA RETREAT AT THE GREENWAY |
We were there for a little getaway and hoped to be in for a treat… we stepped into the hotel and were met by a friendly smile at reception, a warm atmosphere, and found the place all decked out for Christmas, and then we knew for sure that we would be. |

ALFRESCO DINING AT ELLENBOROUGH PARK |
The best in service and comfort is a given at Ellenborough Park, and while moving everything inside out, they have not skipped a beat in service and comfort levels.
We were greeted warmly, and all members of staff were lovely and super professional, even though their walk from the kitchen to tables was four times longer than normal, and a new part of their job was now keeping guests warm with a steady flow of blankets and fire heaters. |
