The Pittville Apartment

Comfortable and welcoming for solo travellers or couples looking for a romantic getaway, this centrally located apartment is perfectly positioned to explore everything Cheltenham has to offer. The famous racecourse is just a 1-mile stroll away, while plenty of restaurants can be found within 500 metres. Explore intriguing shops within the town’s elegant Regency streets, and wander through Pittville Park, admiring the Pittville Pump Room, a grand example of the town’s historic spa buildings. For culture, catch a show at the Everyman Theatre or visit The Wilson, Cheltenham’s art gallery and museum. From the racecourse, you can hop on a steam train and puff all the way to the historic Cotswolds village of Broadway (15 miles), while vintage car lovers will want to spend time at The Bugatti Trust (6 miles), a historic motoring museum. Both Snowshill Manor and Garden, and Sudely Castle are within 14 miles.

The apartment is set over the entire ground floor of an 19th-century house. Enter through your private front door and, once in the hallway, you’ll immediately appreciate the charming decor, with spring-like colours, patterned wallpaper and delightful finishing touches. Painted timber panelling, sash windows and ornamental fireplaces demonstrate the age of the property, which has been renovated to a high standard throughout. The elegant lounge includes soft seating, complemented by cushions, lamps and rugs, with a Smart TV set on an antique side table. Cook up tasty treats and romantic suppers in the Shaker-style kitchen, which includes a fridge/freezer, microwave and dishwasher for convenience. There’s a small dining area for two where you can enjoy your meals. The enchanting double bedroom continues the theme of colour, pattern and a well-chosen mix of modern and antique furnishings, and the interior is completed by a handsome bathroom with a shower over the bath.

For fresh air and a moment in the sun with a book or a drink, you can access the courtyard garden via the back door in the kitchen. There’s seating right outside. Parking is on-street, subject to availability.
