Dog-Friendly Holidays Gloucestershire

Occupying a superb position with wonderful rural views, yet within a mile or so of Cheltenham’s elegant town centre, this delightful holiday cottage has been created from a range of 19th-century barns and is attached as part of a larger wing. The cottage is furnished and equipped to a high standard and enjoys a good choice of shared facilities including a covered heated swimming pool (available all year, weather permitting) , an all-weather tennis court and a croquet lawn. The cottage is well equipped, with an automatic washing machine, microwave oven and dishwasher, and has its own sitting-out area with patio and furniture.
All the fascinating corners of the beautiful Regency spa town of Cheltenham are immediately to hand. There is an art gallery, a museum, tempting boutiques, antique shops, plentiful restaurants and inns. Only a short walk away is Cheltenham’s racecourse, famous as the home of National Hunt Racing, which stages the Cheltenham Festival in March, as well as several other top quality race meetings between October and the end of April. The Pittville Pump Room, a magnificent Grade I listed building opened in 1830, has a museum on its top floor. In the ballroom it is possible to taste spa water from the original pump. Historic illustrations, photographs and small displays tell the story of Cheltenham from its beginnings in Anglo-Saxon times. The building is surrounded by attractive parkland with a lake and children’s playground, public tennis courts and golf course. Number 4 Clarence Road, built in 1832 by James Creed, is the house in which Gustav Holst was born on 21 September 1874, and where he spent the first seven years of his childhood. The Holst Birthplace Museum is a memorial to the composer and a rare treat for lovers of music. On the summit of nearby Leckhampton Hill above the Devil’s Chimney, a teetering rock column, is the site of an Iron Age fort and keen walkers can follow the Cotswold Way.
