ROYAL WEEKEND Cotswolds Getaway with Royal Gardens Tour and Champagne Afternoon Tea

Enjoy a weekend break in the stunning Cotswolds, perhaps the most famous Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the UK, relaxing for two nights in the luxurious boutique hotel, The King’s Head. Located in the heart of the Cotswolds, The King’s Head was traditionally a coaching inn, dating back to the 14th century, and is the ideal place to experience both the beauty of the surrounding countryside and the historic market town of Cirencester. Boasting a unique subterranean spa, a British dining room, and cocktail bar, The King’s Head is awash with elegant chandeliers, colourful and vibrant wall art, fresh flowers and cosy furniture, perfectly blending the building’s historic features, like exposed brick work, wooden beams and original Roman mosaic, with modern day comforts – the epitome of contemporary countryside chic. The Royal Gardens at Highgrove, the private gardens of Their Royal Highnesses The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall, is an important haven for a rich variety of flora and fauna. From the classic order of the Cottage Garden to the pastoral beauty of the Wildflower Meadow, discover these unique spaces, along with hidden curios and horticultural innovations, on a two-hour public tour of the organic gardens with an expert guide. Discover the stories behind this magnificent setting, and with an intimate group of just 16 people, the experience will give a closer insight into this Royal estate. During the tour, you’ll explore such areas of beauty as the stunning Wild Flower Meadow, The Woodland Garden, The Carpet Garden, The Walled Garden and The Cottage Garden. On return from your garden tour, a sumptuous afternoon tea will be served in the serene setting of The Orchard Restaurant. While the resident pianist provides a musical accompaniment, indulge with a delectable selection of sandwiches and cakes, along with a glass of Highgrove’s very own Champagne and a wide selection of coffee, teas and herbal infusions.
