Tudor Farmhouse: Escape to foodie heaven in Gloucestershire
Escape to the leafy Gloucestershire countryside for two nights at a farmhouse turned boutique hotel.
Tudor Farmhouse is located at the meeting point of the Forest of Dean and the Wye Valley, and you'll be in the perfect spot to explore the ancient woodlands by foot or bike.
You'll begin each day with a hearty breakfast, and a delicious dinner awaits in the hotel restaurant each evening, with a tasting menu on one night. Discover homely but inventive dishes made with top quality local ingredients.
The guest rooms here all have their own character, with features like rustic wooden beams and exposed stonework along with modern touches like widescreen TVs and Nespresso coffee machines. Many rooms also feature roll-top baths and monsoon showers.
Whichever room you choose, you can be sure of a perfectly cosy night, with duck feather pillows, pocket sprung mattresses and 300 count linen sheets on the beds.
