Calcot Manor, Gloucestershire

A luxury country retreat perfect for relaxing family holidays and breaks in the Cotswolds, Calcot Manor is very highly rated by parents for its location, staff and facilities, which include the Playzone for younger kids and The Mez for ages 8 and up, plus the spa and Gumstool Inn with its roaring fires for a spot of parental relaxation (although the spa also has a kids' pool). Calcot Manor's vast grounds are another highpoint, offering walking, cycling, pony trekking and even croquet, plus an outdoor pool.
