Cotswold Hills, England

Hardwick House provides an ideal luxury family base for an extended visit to the Cotswolds. Situated in five acres of private parkland protected by electronic security gates it is a home-from-home to enjoy at your leisure. Take a swim in the heated pool situated in the historic walled garden, play a frame of snooker in the games room or just relax in the magnificent drawing room while you plan your excursion for the day. Hardwick House is located just to the north of Tewkesbury, England's largest intact medieval town and just a few miles from Cheltenham, Centre for the Cotswolds. Take in a play at Stratford (Shakespeare's birthplace), take a dip in the spa waters at Bath's restored Roman Baths, visit the World-famous University city of Oxford or just tour the myriad of beautiful Cotswold villages – all less than a one hour drive away. To the west are the wonderful Welsh mountains – keen walkers should take a hike up to the top of Brecon Beacon – again less than an hour's drive away. A week is simply not enough time to get the most out of what the Cotswolds have to offer!

The house itself was built in the 1860s to the very highest Victorian standards with 28-inch Cotswold stone walls and beautiful styling details. The Main House has been lovingly restored with original fireplaces, flocked wallpaper and chandeliers while the rooms retain their original generous proportions. The Cellar Apartment restoration was completed in early 2010 and combines period features with modern decoration, marble en-suite bathrooms, a separate living room and kitchen. The House and Cellar Apartment are available on a self catering basis and can be rented together or separately depending on the size of your party.
