Situated below the western escarpment of the Cotswold Hills, at the meeting point of the Five Valleys, is the tranquil and beautiful, thriving, Market Town of Stroud.  Home to a significant artistic community that dates back to the early 20th century, Jasper Conran called Stroud “the Covent Garden of the Cotswolds”.  Renowned for its steep streets, quirky fashion sense, and popular Farmers Markets, Stroud is within the Cotswold area of Outstanding Natural Beauty that surrounds the town.  The Cotswold Way path passes by it to the west, with Stroud acting as a commercial centre for the surrounding villages and other Market Towns.  These include quintessentially British places to visit such as King’s Stanley, Leonard Stanley, Minchinhampton, Nailsworth, Painswick, Randwick, Amberley, Bisley, Bussage, Dursley, Eastington and Woodchester to name just a few.  Declared the best place to live in the UK and citing the town’s abundance of green spaces, independent spirit, great schools and relaxing environment by The Sunday Times Newspaper, Stroud offers the ultimate in tranquillity, beauty and relaxation.  What better place to relax and enjoy some peace and a variety of Spa Breaks Stroud available from a stunning retreat such as https://hatherleymanor.com/the-spa/spa-breaks-cotswolds/stroud.  Escaping to any one of their luxurious Spa Breaks Stroud, you could experience a comprehensive range of relaxing treatments, enjoy unlimited access to their exquisite spa facilities, and stay in one of their comfortable rooms.  Included in these bespoke Spa Breaks is a delicious dinner, breakfast, and full use of the spa for the ultimate rejuvenating experience.
