 The
Kings Arms Inn, built in 1652, is a beautifully restored Grade I
listed 17th century coaching inn originally leased from the Beaufort family
in 1745 at a rate of 6 pence per annum for 1000 years. Its location in
the village of Didmarton is just at the edge of the Badminton Estate in the
Cotswolds. There is effortless access from the cottages to many nearby
historic cities including Bristol, Gloucester, Georgian Bath, Regency
Cheltenham and Roman Cirencester. Those attending Cheltenham Gold Cup
race meeting in March, Gatcombe park in August and the Badminton Three-Day
Horse Trials in May will find the cottages ideally situated. Polo fans
will find Beaufort Polo Club a stones throw away. Walkers can enjoy
rambling along the Cotswold Way, Macmillan Way and Monarch's Way and
Westonbirt Arboretum's 600 acres including 17 miles of footpaths will tempt
walkers and gardeners alike. Events throughout the year include The
International Garden Festival in summer, summer concerts, autumn's turning
of the leaves and the winter highlight, The Enchanted Woodland. Nearby
Tetbury's excellent selection of shops offer a wide choice of products and
services including 25 world class antiques shops, monthly antique and craft
fairs and market days. Cyclists will find a cycle shop with
hire. In addition, a variety of activities can be found locally
including falconry, fishing, gliding, golf, horse racing, motor racing,
shooting, swimming, squash and tennis. Picnic hampers can be arranged
for our guests. The private drawing room hosts up to 28 guests for a
variety of functions including weddings, parties, catered cocktail parties
and private dinner parties. Proximity to the M4/M5 makes the cottages
the perfect base for corporate short or long term lets, team building days,
mid-week and weekend packages.
