Hotel de la Bere, Cheltenham

I attended the hotel for a party and found it to be classy, very nicely decorated and set in lovely grounds. The gardens are well kempt and very attractive. Great for getting that lovely picture. The food was good and plentiful, the service quite prompt considering the amount of us there and the prices were very reasonable. If I was having a similar party in the future I would definately enquire about availability! A beautiful hotel in the Cotswolds near to the countryside for walking and close to Cheltenham for great shopping. A good menu and nice selection of spirits at the bar!

Advantages: Beautiful, Varied, Plenty to do
Disadvantages: Can be expensive, Race week is a rip-off and has been spoilt
