Hatherley Manor Hotel? They should call it HEAVENLY Manor Hotel! An unforgettable spa stay outside Gloucester.

I realize that I may have given in to _slight_ hyperbole in that title there, but once you hear about this trip you’ll know why I’m happy to be overly complimentary about Hatherley Manor.

Last month, when lockdown restrictions eased in the UK (as in many places around the world), we decided to go on a weekend adventure not too far from home. We came across these wonderful cider huts about 40 minutes away from where we live, just outside Stamford. Even though we didn’t have time to get bored during lockdown because of our house move and our … Continue reading Old Tinny – our very first tiny house experience in Stamford!
