Manor Cottages - Escape to the Cotswolds

Cheltenham (or Cheltenham Spa as some call it!) is one of England's most complete Regency towns. It is located less than a hundred miles from London and is an ideal base for touring the Cotswolds region as well as Stratford upon Avon and Bath.

Within the heart of the town you will find many Regency town houses, characterised by intricate ironwork balconies and painted stucco facades; there is also the historic Promenade, which is recognised as one of the most attractive parts of the town. With its award-winning gardens, impressive range of stylish shops and restaurants, and its festivals of horse racing, music and literature Cheltenham is a day trip choice that certainly gives you options.

Perhaps, however, it is best known for its association with horse racing with the world famous Cheltenham Racecourse on the edge of the town. Each year the Gold Cup is hosted here during March with the worlds best horses competing for this famous trophy.
