Bistro at Hotel du Vin - Cheltenham

Featured Restaurant

We hear a great deal about recycling these days - du Vin recycles attractive but un-loved buildings to restore real gems in the best tradition of British understated style. Complement that with all that is best in the French bistro ethos, bars that reach out to please, and you have a setting that provides an inspirational background for people to meet, do business, get married, provide a base for golf or fishing, somewhere you can call your own for a private celebration, a spa or - most engagingly - a wine school that breaks the mould.

The Thistle Cheltenham can be found just minutes off the M5 and not far from Cheltenham's town centre.

Cafe Rene

Tucked away in an old alleyway, Café Rene's nondescript exterior may be slightly deceptive, but step inside to find a charming little place with an off-beat décor. Situated in a Grade II listed building, it's worth taking time off to explore the interesting interior, which includes an old well in the centre of the room, walls and ceiling peppered with bottles appearing to defy gravity, and a dimly lit cellar bar underground.
