Christmas in Gloucestershire

The chocolate box village of Upton St Leonards, situated on the edge of the Cotswolds, between Cheltenham and Stroud, is the ideal place for those looking for a quiet and relaxing Christmas break. The hotel promises to keep you entertained with a quiz or two, local carol singers will pop in to entertain you and there is even a trip to the pantomime on Boxing Day.
