There are so many things to enjoy during your stay, it’s hard to get it all down, in fact, it’s impossible.   You could stay in Chalford, walk locally through the stunning hills and vales, explore the vibrant local arts scene on your doorstep, just read and relax in the gardens, or take your children to the nearby award-winning park.

Or slightly further afield, you could enjoy a range of things from gliding at Aston Down to canoeing at the Cotswold Water Park; from walking the Five Valleys to shopping for antiques in Tetbury. In the nearby Regency towns of Cheltenham or Bath you can indulge in some window shopping (or more) or enjoy Cheltenham’s famous Festivals, which take place throughout the year.

In nearby Cirencester you can discover the region’s Roman origins in the Corinium Musuem.  These and many many more activities and sights in the area will ensure you a have an enjoyable stay!

In each property there is a folder stuffed full of local information on places to eat and drink and things to visit – here are just a few interesting links :
