The deal was the same with Spas- mostly only the not so popular ones would work with large tourist hotels. Of course, there are some hotels that have their own golf course- and some are incredible- but most are fairly low grade. Spa hotels, on the other hand, can be really outstanding, and the Cotswolds plays home to some of the best in the country.
So, if you're looking for a great Golf Break or a great Spa Break- or a perfect combination of the two, here you are. First up are the best Spa hotels in the area, and then are all of the golf courses in The Cotswolds. The ultimate countryside weekend pick 'n' mix...
