ExceptionalCotswold farmhouse hotel with crèche, Playbarn and treehouse rooms

Calcot & Spa

Tetbury, Gloucestershire

The hotel that made 'luxury with kids' feel effortless. Rooms arrive kitted out with cots and bath toys, the Playbarn crèche buys you a spa afternoon, and kids' tea at five means grown-up dinner later. The treehouse rooms are a brilliant treat, and Westonbirt's autumn colour is ten minutes down the road.

Days out nearby

  • Bristol Zoo Project ↗

    ~24 miles · ~30 mins

    Zoo · ideal day trip

    Bristol's zoo moved to open woodland on the city's edge, so animals such as gorillas, okapi and red river hogs have far more room. Children get woodland trails and big play spaces, and it fits easily into a Bristol or Bath weekend.

  • We The Curious ↗

    ~27 miles · ~45 mins

    Science centre · rainy day option

    Bristol's hands-on science centre with hundreds of interactive exhibits and a 3D planetarium. Great on a wet day during a Bristol or Bath weekend.

  • SS Great Britain ↗

    ~28 miles · ~45 mins

    Castle / historic · ideal day trip

    Brunel's iron ship sits in a dry dock with a glass 'sea' you can walk beneath, and children can climb the rigging, explore cabins and smell the galley. Immersive history right on Bristol's harbourside.

  • Cotswold Farm Park ↗

    ~34 miles · ~45 mins

    Farm park · excellent toddler activity

    Adam Henson's farm showcases rare British breeds, with animal handling, tractor rides, jumping pillows and a woodland adventure trail. It is surrounded by Cotswolds villages and boutique hotels, so ideal for a weekend.

  • Wildlife park · ideal day trip

    Rhinos grazing on the lawn in front of a Victorian manor sums up this park's charm. A narrow-gauge railway, walk-through lemur enclosure and a big adventure playground make it a relaxed family day in the heart of the Cotswolds.

  • Longleat ↗

    ~39 miles · ~45 mins

    Safari park · ideal day trip

    Driving through the lion reserve with monkeys clambering over the car is a childhood memory in the making. Beyond the safari there is a hedge maze, an adventure castle playground, boat rides and the stately house itself, enough for two full days.

  • Cheddar Gorge & Caves ↗

    ~42 miles · ~45 mins

    Nature / outdoors · ideal day trip

    Explore show caves with dramatic stalactites, climb the 274-step lookout and walk along the gorge's cliff top. A good mix of adventure and geology, near Wells and the Mendips.

  • Wookey Hole Caves ↗

    ~43 miles · ~45 mins

    Adventure park · ideal day trip

    Underground caves with a witch legend, plus a dinosaur valley, adventure golf, a circus show and a Victorian penny arcade. A full day of variety, close to Bath and Wells.
