Butlers Shortlist*
Cheltenham, Gloucestershire
Good Hotel Guide Review
‘Exceptional service’ is nothing less than might be expected at Paul Smyth and Shaun Bailey’s butler-themed B&B. ‘Enjoyable, quirky and good value’, it occupies a former 19th-century gentleman’s residence. Alongside Edwardian paraphernalia and curios, the lounge’s bookshelves make it ‘a tempting place to lose time in’. ‘Elegant, capacious bedrooms’ each bear the name of a famous butler (Jeeves, Hudson, Brabinger, etc); inside, a ‘very comfortable bed, pleasing antiques; a gleaming bathroom’ with a powerful shower; some rooms offer views of the distant Malvern hills. Breakfast can be taken on the roof terrace. The ‘quiet, well-located spot’ is ‘an easy walk’ from the centre.
