When wishing to get away from the noisy rush and problems of city living and having a quiet break with a tranquil country village setting, travel to the Cotswolds, where you can spend quality restful time in luxury at one of the manor house hotels that abound in this area of Southern England.
In the Cotswolds, you find spectacular scenery, can explore remnants of long gone eras of the Roman domination of the region, and visit Blenheim Castle in all its grandeur, also wander through the antique shops and find an interesting array of memorabilia and old books. There is so much to keep one occupied while you are staying in this part of England.
A perfect manor house hotel
A number of the most luxurious manor house hotels are converted from homes that have stood for hundreds of years. Many of them are built with the characteristic golden limestone of the area and are regal in their magnificence. They are usually set in acres of well-maintained graceful gardens and parklands, themselves some of the attractions of the Cotswolds. Manor house hotels in the Cotswolds offer elegant rooms with sumptuous furnishings, excellent facilities and impeccable customer service as well as fine dining.
You might want to indulge in having a spa treatment, or enjoy high tea or if there is a wine tasting on a Friday or Saturday prior to evening dining, you can make your choice of which wine you want to indulge in with the excellent dinner served.
While a guest at a manor house hotel, it is possible to hire a classic E-type Jaguar convertible in which to roam the countryside at your leisure and convenience. On the other hand, should you only wish to ramble around on foot, you may have the staff bring you a pair of welly boots for wearing, offered on a silver platter. This is luxury at its best!
There is so much to see and enjoy while you are visiting the Cotswolds.

Roman History
At Chesterton, outside Cirencester, the Roman legions established their camp when they arrived in the British Isles in AD43. There are many reminders left here in Cirencester from the Roman stay, which lasted for several centuries. It is amazing that sections of the surrounding wall are still in existence, as is the large amphitheatre, situated near to the hospital.
Driving or ambling around the Cotswolds, spending a spell of luxurious relaxation, while treating yourself to being spoilt and pampered at a manor house hotel, is the perfect holiday and getaway for anyone who feels the need and necessity of getting out of the city, even if it is only for a limited period.
