Just minutes from exit J18 off highway M4, Cross Hands Hotel is a charming 14th-century posting house with a pub and restaurant, in the heart of the Gloucester countryside.
The Queen stayed at the hotel during a blizzard in 1981. Now, its guests can use free Wi-Fi in the hotel's bedrooms and public areas of the building.
The charming, oak-beamed Beaufort Bar has traditional ales, tasty bar food and an open fireplace. The Cross Hands restaurant is relaxed, spacious and warm, and its food has an excellent reputation.
For those who like spooky history, the cellars were once used to house convicted criminals sentenced to death by 'Bloody' Judge Jeffreys.
Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 8.5 for a two-person trip.

“We had a lovely room and the bathroom was enormous with a soaking tub, which was enjoyed after a long day of walking the Cotswolds Way. We arrived on a Sunday, so we were able to experience the English traditional Sunday roast - excellent!!”
