There is a fantastic gym for the active holiday goers and a vibrant social scene. It is surrounded by open fields and just south of Shakespeares birth place, so a day trip to nearby Stratford upon Avon is a must.

Why not don your walking boots, pack up a picnic and trek some or all of the Cotswold way, with 160km of outstanding natural beauty awaiting your footsteps.
