THE RAMADA GLOUCESTER, BOWDEN HALL

The Ramada Gloucester, Bowden Hall, is endowed with a regal splendour that reflects a bygone age, a time when style and scale took priority. This beautiful hotel, perched like some grand folly on display at the top of a hill, makes a great base for a golfing break, providing sumptuous rooms, great dining and the Gloucester Golf Club is nearby.  

Standard rooms come with broadband internet access, complimentary tea and coffee, flat-screen TV and on-demand films. Trade up to an Executive room for lake views and a lounge or to a Suite for extra living space and four-poster bed. Some of the Executive rooms have views of landscaped grounds, while rear rooms looks over fields and woodland.

Dine in Georgian splendour at the elegant Dearmans Restaurant or sip drinks al fresco with views of the lake. You can also tuck into afternoon cream teas with clotted cream or snack on hand-cut crisps and olives over cocktails in the Club Lounge. Room service is also available 24 hours a day.

Perfect your crawl in the pool, or relax in the Spa. The health club has a cardio and weights gym that will also help keep you on top of your fitness regime.
