Parkview Guest House

Parkview is a fine Regency house which stands in Cheltenham's nicest area. It was built in the early part of the last century and still has most of the internal features from that period. While it is only five minutes walk from the centre of Cheltenham, the house lies within Pittville Park with its' boating lake, many specimen trees and Regency Pump Room thus providing a peaceful place to stay.

Cheltenham is the most complete Regency town in England and has a wonderful variety of quality shops. It is also the venue festivals of music, literature and horse racing while the two theatres provide a stage for players from around the country.

The Pittville Pump Room, Chelteham's finest Regency building, is situated in Pittville Park and enjoys superb views of the town and the surrounding Cotswold hills. Inside is the spring from which flows Cheltenham's Spa waters which are guaranteed to cure all maladies from baldness to gout. Also within is the Gallery of Fashion which makes use of costumed figures to depict the social history of Cheltenham Spa from the 1760s to the 1960s. This is within two minutes walk of Parkview Guest House.

Cheltenham is known as the "Centre of the Cotswolds" because, in the surrounding hills, stand the many timeless villages for which the area is world famous. Stow-on-the-Wold and Bourton-on-the-Water are, perhaps, the best known of these but a map and a willingness to explore will lead to the discovery of many hidden hamlets. Most have an ancient church and village "pub" where a "pint and a ploughmans lunch" will reward a days wandering. Guided tours can be arranged from this Guest House.

Nearby lies Prestbury, the most 'haunted village' in England and a conversation in one of the village 'pubs' may well include stories of 'strange goings-on.'

Winchcombe has the castle of Royal Sudely which is steeped in history and Royal connections while Gloucester boasts that its Cathedral is, perhaps, the finest in England.

Stratford-on-Avon is about one hour away while the Cathedral town of Worcester and Malvern, where the composer Elgar composed much of his music, is the same distance off.

There are also two fine golf courses nearby if this is the game you enjoy.

CHELTENHAM is a town with so many interesting attractions, coupled with quality accommodation and superb, high-class, shops, that it attracts independent travellers from all over the world. Positioned on the edge of the COTSWOLDS, the town is an obvious base for touring an area whose image encapuslates that intrinsic charm known as the ENGLISH COUNTRYSIDE."
