Hatton Court Gloucester  

Stay at the Hatton Court Hotel on your holiday or weekend break in the Cotswolds. You’ll love this historic Gloucestershire hotel in Upton St Leonards, which has won the Bledisloe Cup for the Most Beautiful Village in Gloucestershire in the large village category more than 20 times. Built in the 1920s by a prominent local businessman, Hatton Court has been used as hotel since the 1950s. It is located on extensive gardens and lawns with stunning views of the valley of the River Severn. In the summer, guests can play croquet or giant chess on the lawn while watching for visiting rabbits, foxes, badgers, or deer. In cool weather, you can warm up in front of a log fire, curl up with a book, or play Wii or board games. At the Tara Restaurant, completely refurbished in late 2009, you can enjoy breakfast, lunch, bar meals, afternoon teas, or a candlelit dinner; traditional roasts are served for Sunday lunch. This hotel is the perfect place to stay while exploring the Cotswolds. The friendly staff can help you choose from 7 different walks that start from the property, and can also prepare packed lunches or picnics. One popular destination is Prinknash Abbey, near the village of Cranham, which can be reached via a 4.8 km/3.0 mile walk. Also nearby are the Painswick Golf Club and the Painswick Rococo Garden outside the historic wool town of Painswick. The Hatton Court Hotel is approx. 7.2 km/4.5 miles from the Gloucester city centre and 16.8 km/10.4 miles from Cheltenham.
