5.0 based on 453 reviews
CHAVENAGE HOUSE is a privately owned Elizabethan Manor House open to the public. It has been used as a TV location for many productions and is at present playing Trenwith in the popular Poldark. There is so much more to see and enjoy. Guided tours by members of the family.

We had a group visit from Bowood House, the only downside of that being that we had to do this in our closed season. And it was a cold day. Chavenage has very little heating so every room was perishing cold. Every time we moved to a different room it seemed even colder, probably because as human radiators we managed eventually to take the chill of each room. However...I’ll still give Chavenage top marks. It’s a beautiful house with a fascinating history, superbly accomplished and witty guides from the owning family, Caroline and Richard, and one of the best homemade lunches you can get. Next time though we’ll go in warmer weather!
2. Tetbury Police Museum & Courtroom

The museum is housed in a building that was the original police station, police house and courtroom. It now houses a council office also who acts as a curator. Despite being small it is still very original and they have tried hard to collect artefacts of interest to many people. As an ex police officer and with a son in law who is still serving it was good to go back to see items that we used in earlier days. They have used speaking models including snoring drunk prisoner. The court room is still intact and has models for magistrates and witness's. Visit is free but donations welcomed. Thank you to all concerned in keeping this exhibition going.

My husband got me a half day spa as a Christmas present - and what a wonderful treat it was too! Calcot Spa is absolutely first rate; superb facilities with lots of thoughtful touches, spotlessly clean and luxurious and most welcoming. I used the gym, had a swim and sauna and finished off with the most amazingly relaxing Classic back and face treatment. The back massage was absolutely perfect and released a lot of tension and the facial was dreamy. My husband then joined me for lunch in The Conservatory where the food was simply delicioius and some of the best we've eaten (and we've been lucky enough to eat in a lot of Michelin starred restaurants over the years). One of the very best things that made this the best spa experience that I have had was that all the staff were simply delightful - welcoming, friendly and helpful without being over fussy. My locker jammed and the young woman who sorted it out did so with good cheer and the minimum of bother and inconvenience to me. We were also given complimentary deserts in The Conservatory when my husband's initial starter order was no longer available - even though he was more than happy with his second choice of starter. Very thoughtful. All in all the perfect kind of customer service - there with a smile and offers of help when needed but very discrete too. Please do thank them again from us. Very highly recommended

St Saviour's should be a must see of the churches in the Cotswold with its beautiful vaulted ceilings and ornate wood carvings. Historically built on the site of the 12th Century Monastery you can see how it was also used as a battlement in medieval times.
