           June, 2026. The 12 luxury serviced apartments at 47- 49 The Promenade have been welcoming guests from around the world since February 2022.

           &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           Owner Jim Hawtin explained the reasoning behind the decision:

      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
            
           &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
            “We have thoroughly enjoyed the last four years, but have decided that it is the right time for us to retire. As a result, Neptune Apartments will be welcoming our final guests at the end of June. We want to thank all our guests for choosing Neptune Apartments. Many of them have returned many times, and we have come to know them very well. We would also like to thank our small team and suppliers who have helped us deliver an exceptional guest experience.

           &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
            “Cheltenham is a fantastic, beautiful, vibrant town, and we have been honoured to be a small part of the town’s hospitality sector over the years. We have always tried to shine a light on the many reasons why the town is a great place to stay, whether that be for leisure or business”.

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            is always buzzing. Known for its creative presentation and bold flavours, it’s a great place to start an evening. The Alchemist is situated in the town’s Brewery Quarter just off the High Street, a 9 minute walk from Neptune Apartments.
            &#xD;
        &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The featured Hit &amp;amp; Rum cocktail is a perfect example of what makes The Alchemist so popular – bold flavours, a touch of theatre and plenty of visual flair. It’s an experience as much as a drink, making it a great place to start your cocktail adventure.

      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;

      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Their Signature Teapot Cocktail (shown at the top of this page) for two is a real talking point, combining flavour and presentation in a way that feels special and indulgent. The Cucumber and Indian Masala Gin &amp;amp; Tonic is equally impressive, offering a refreshing twist with subtle spiced notes – perfect for an early evening cocktail.

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            is a must-visit for rum lovers. With an extensive rum selection and knowledgeable staff, it’s a great place to enjoy classic cocktails done properly. This bar which is on Prestbury Road also hoasts live music in its basement and has a New York vibe.

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The Planters Punch is a standout choice here – rich, fruity and perfectly balanced. The Rum Bar is a relaxed spot that works just as well for a quiet drink as it does for catching up with friends.

      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The Tankard 10 is bold and refreshing, while Blush Hour offers a lighter, fruitier option. Both are great choices to enjoy while soaking up the energetic vibe, making Flight Club a brilliant mid-evening stop.

      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;/a&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           , famed for its 99 yew trees, each steeped in local legend — it’s said that if a hundredth tree grows, the devil himself will pull it up.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           As part of the Cotswold Way, Painswick makes a perfect walking stop. Don’t miss the striking black-and-white timbered building beside the church — one of the most photographed historic buildings in the region.

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Often called the Gateway to the Cotswolds, Burford welcomes visitors with its steep medieval high street lined with ancient stone cottages, boutique shops, and inviting cafés.

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Blockley is a peaceful village with a fascinating past. In the 18th and 19th centuries, it thrived as a centre for the silk industry, leaving behind a legacy of fine Georgian architecture.

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Nestled in the Evenlode Valley, Kingham was once crowned England’s Favourite Village by Country Life magazine — and it’s easy to see why. Its 17th- and 18th-century cottages, charming village greens, and beautiful Church of St. Andrew paint a picture of rural perfection. A visit to one of its award-winning pubs or restaurants is the perfect way to end a day of exploring.

The town’s 14th-century church, stunning high street, and historic homes create an atmosphere that feels frozen in time.

           One of the great bonuses of a visit to Cheltenham and a stay at Neptune Apartments is the town’s many cultural attractions. In this blog, we shine a spotlight on the town’s cultural highlights.

           The Wilson Art Gallery and Museum
           &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The Wilson Art Gallery first opened in 1899 as the town’s museum. It was later renamed in honour of Edward Wilson, the Cheltenham-born explorer, naturalist, and physician who joined Captain Scott’s ill-fated Antarctic expedition. His story and artefacts remain a central feature of the museum’s collection.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           A visit to The Wilson is a journey through art, history, and discovery. The galleries showcase everything from fine art and decorative crafts to local heritage and international exhibitions. Highlights include the Arts and Crafts Movement collection (inspired by William Morris), rare artefacts from Wilson’s polar expeditions, and a dynamic programme of contemporary art.
           &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Beyond the exhibits, The Wilson has become a modern cultural hub, with creative community spaces, workshops, and a stylish café. It’s a place where history and art meet innovation—perfect for anyone seeking inspiration, learning, or simply a fascinating day out.

        &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
        
            When you stay at Neptune Apartments, you may also want to stop and look at the bronze statue honouring Edward Wilson. It is situated at the opposite end of the Long Gardens from Neptune very close to Neptune’s Fountain.

           Everyman Theatre
            &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The Everyman Theatre can be found on Regent Street in Cheltenham’s town centre.
            &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
            
           &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           The Everyman Theatre in Cheltenham was built as The Opera House in 1891, designed by Frank Matcham, who also designed The Hippodrome, The London Coliseum and The London Palladium. After facing closure in 1959, it was saved by the public and became a key part of the community. The theatre, a Grade II listed building, was extensively restored in 2011 to its former glory.

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Why should you go to The Everyman? Because it’s a beautiful venue and plays host to some great shows and acts. The theatre champions local talent, hosts national tours, and produces its own shows - including the much-loved annual pantomime. It also runs workshops, relaxed performances, and a community outreach programme, making sure the magic of theatre reaches every corner of the town.

           &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The Cheltenham Playhouse Theatre, tucked away in Bath Road, is one of the town’s most atmospheric cultural venues. Originally built as a spa in the early 19th century, the building was transformed into a theatre after the Second World War and has been home to performance and creativity ever since.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Visiting the Playhouse is about discovering live entertainment in an intimate, characterful setting. The theatre hosts a wide variety of shows—from drama, comedy, and musicals to concerts, talks, and community productions—offering something for every taste.

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            With its rich history, welcoming atmosphere, and central location, Cheltenham Playhouse remains a true local treasure, bringing people together through the joy of live performance.

           &#xD;

      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The Holst Victorian House, located on Clarence Road in Cheltenham, is the birthplace of renowned composer Gustav Holst, probably best known for The Planets (a seven movement orchestral suite). This lovingly preserved museum offers a glimpse into Victorian family life, with period rooms, original furnishings, and fascinating displays about Holst’s early years and musical legacy.
           &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Visitors can see the very piano on which Holst composed, discover stories of Victorian Cheltenham, and gain a deeper appreciation of how the town helped shape one of Britain’s greatest composers. The house captures both the intimate domestic setting of the 19th century and the extraordinary creativity that emerged from it.

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            To complete the experience, a short walk will take you to Imperial Square, where you can admire the striking statue of Holst—an inspiring reminder of his place in Cheltenham’s proud cultural heritage.

           Pittville Pump Room
           &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The Pump Room stands as the grandest remaining spa building in Cheltenham, and is a Grade I listed Regency structure.
           &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
            
           &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           Built between 1825 and 1830, the Pump Room was designed by architect John Forbes as the centrepiece of Joseph Pitt’s ambitious "new town," Pittville - conceived to rival Cheltenham’s established spa attractions. The foundation stone was laid on 4 May 1825, and the venue officially opened on 20 July 1830 with celebration events including a public breakfast and ball. Pitt’s lavish vision, however, eventually led to financial ruin—he died bankrupt. In 1890, the Pump Room and surrounding park were transferred to Cheltenham Borough Council.
            &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
            
           &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           The Pump Room's striking façade features an Ionic colonnade and, above that, statues of Hygieia, Aesculapius, and Hippocrates - figures symbolising health and medicine.
            &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Inside, the main hall, there is the original marble and scagliola pump, for the Cheltenham Spa Mineral Waters, although you can no longer drink the spa water. The grand ballroom on the ground floor opens to a gallery and dome above – making it ideal for music performances. Originally, upper floors contained a billiard room, library, and reading room—spaces now repurposed as meeting rooms and event spaces.

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Today, the venue is managed by The Cheltenham Trust and is still very much in public use - hosting concerts, weddings, exhibitions, conferences, and more.

            Cheltenham Town Hall (shown at the top of this page) stands as one of the town’s most iconic cultural venues. Built in 1902, its grand architecture and elegant interiors make it a landmark of civic pride. The Town Hall was designed by Gloucester Architect Frederick William Waller, in the fashionable Baroque style of the time during the reign of Edward VII.

            The building itself features a coved ceiling over the main ballroom hall, measuring 92 x 52ft. This central room, around which the rest of the building radiates, can seat 1,000 people.

        &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
        
            Today, it’s far more than a historic building—it’s a vibrant stage for concerts, comedy, festivals, and community events. From the world-renowned Cheltenham Festivals to performances and exhibitions, the Town Hall continues to be a gathering place where culture, creativity, and community come together in the heart of the town.

            Mention Cheltenham to anyone and the chances are they will mention the Festivals, the racing or its regency architecture. However, being situated as we are in the heart of Cheltenham, one thing that stands out is the abundance of green spaces in and around the town.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The tiny River Chelt, which takes its name from the town, flows through Sandford Park. The park is most well know for its ornamental water features and fountains. Floral displays are set around Unwin’s Fountain, and clipped topiary features guard the entrances.

Historical features on the hill include a single rampart Iron Age hillfort and long barrow dating from 500 to 100 BC (although remains can be hard to spot when the grass is long). Old tramways criss-cross the hill from the days of limestone quarrying and the remains of kilns and quarries are still very much in evidence.

           &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           The hill supports a wealth of wildlife, including small mammals - foxes, stoats, badgers, and rabbits - and reptiles. Butterfly species include the Duke of Burgundy, Dark Green Fritillary, and Pearl Bordered Fritillary can be seen, and there is extensive birdlife, with buzzards and kestrels being regularly seen.

        &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
        
            Walking Time: Around 2.9 miles and 1 hour 15 minutes walk. There are car parks on Daisy Bank Lane and Hartley Lane. You can catch the Pulhams Coaches L Service from the bus stop by Primark for a 13 minute journey to Leckhampton Hill.

           Spotlight on one of Cheltenham's Cultural Gems
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           One of the great bonuses of a visit to Cheltenham and a stay at Neptune Apartments is the town’s many cultural attractions. In this blog Mandy Resson from Neptune Apartments shines a spotlight on The Wilson Art Gallery and Museum which is a 2 minute walk from the apartments.
           &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The Wilson is not only a place not only for art, but also for honouring the life of Edward Adrian Wilson, a man whose love for nature led him from the Cotswolds to the ends of the Earth.
           &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Edward Wilson was born in Cheltenham in 1872 in Montpellier Parade, just a 12 minute walk from Neptune Apartments – you can identify the house called Hillcrest thanks to the Civic Trust blue plague on the wall. Wilson was more than an explorer. He was a doctor, naturalist, and artist whose watercolours are as haunting as the journey that ended his life. From his early days sketching wildlife in Gloucestershire, through to his Antarctic expeditions with Captain Scott, Wilson’s work reveals a quiet respect for the natural world. Standing in the Wilson Room, at The Wilson Gallery today, surrounded by his studies of emperor penguins and glacial light, it’s easy to feel the fragility of it all, the cold, the courage, the stillness. It moved me more than I expected. There’s something incredibly human in his sketches.
           &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           What makes The Wilson so special is how it continues to evolve — a thriving place with space for creativity and community. Whilst I was there, I spent time viewing ‘Common Ground’ a thought-provoking exhibition curated by artist and folklorist Ben Edge. It explores our relationship with common land and the natural world, touching on themes of loss, rebellion, and belonging. Common Ground is on display until the 31st August 2025.
           &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Equally uplifting was ‘Playground’, a playful, interactive exhibition that invites visitors to rediscover their inner child. Inspired by Cheltenham’s green spaces, it’s full of hands-on joy, from storytelling to games you’re encouraged to touch. Whether visiting alone or with family, a sense of delight can be found here. Playground is on display until 21st September 2025.
           &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           And when you have enjoyed the galleries, you have The Wilson Kitchen Café offering a great coffee or tea, locally sourced food, it’s the perfect pause — a space for reflection, or simply watching Cheltenham amble by.

          This month we
          &#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           are highlighting
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    
          some of the cultural attractions which can be found in our beautiful Festival Town of Cheltenham.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;h3&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;img src="https://irp.cdn-website.com/3aec1062/dms3rep/multi/Everyman+Theatre+for+blog.jpg"/&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           Starting with The Everyman Theatre 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The Everyman Theatre can be found on Regent Street in Cheltenham’s town centre, just a four minute walk from Neptune Apartments. The Everyman is in a fantastic location between some great restaurants, marvellous coffee shops, and if you are coming to watch a matinee then do not forget the shopping.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Why should you go to The Everyman? Because it’s a beautiful venue, inclusive, accessible, and plays host to some great shows and acts. The theatre champions local talent, hosts national tours, and produces its own shows — including the much-loved annual pantomime. It also runs workshops, relaxed performances, and a community outreach programme, making sure the magic of theatre reaches every corner of the town.
           &#xD;

    &lt;/a&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           . It’s a good idea to book early for popular shows. E-tickets are available, and the theatre also offers concessions, group rates, and accessible seating options.

           The Cheltenham Playhouse: Intimate, Independent, and unique.
           &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Tucked away on Bath Road, the Cheltenham Playhouse is a community-run theatre with a big personality. Housed in a historic building that once served as a Victorian swimming baths, it now hosts a vibrant mix of drama, comedy, music, film, and fringe performances — all in an intimate, welcoming space that feels more like a gathering of friends than a formal night out.
           &#xD;

           Why Visit?

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The Playhouse is a smaller more intimate theatre and is all about connections, between performers and audience, between local talent and national acts, and between Cheltenham’s past and its creative present. It’s a brilliant option for people who enjoy something a little off the beaten track: smaller-scale productions, passionate performances, and a real sense of community spirit.

           A wonderful apartment in the centre of Cheltenham. Beautifully decorated and appointed with high quality equipment and bathroom products. The owners are always available online to assist and answer questions very quickly. Parking is available nearby for a small additional price but well worth it. We visit Cheltenham a number of times a year and this is by far the best we have found.

            We are a family run business and nothing is more important to us than 'getting it right' for our guests.  We do this by asking guests to complete a short survey using https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/which we review regularly. However,reviewing the surveys isn't enough, acting on them is what is important and this is what we do.

            Being in the center of town has its benefits such as having some of the best shopping, restaurants, bars and coffee shops on your doorstep.

            In July 2019, Cheltenham officially branded itself as “The Festival Town”, a very apt tagline given that the town plays host to no less than 35 Festivals annually, several of which are renowned worldwide. In this blog we have singled out two, one that is just reaching its climax and one that is just on the horizon.

           Then for music lovers of the soulful rhythms and infectious melodies of jazz – it's time to start planning your next adventure! The renowned Jazz Festival is on the horizon, promising a 6 day long celebration of electrifying performances, and unforgettable experiences. This year’s notable highlights include Dionne Warwick, Courtney Pine, UB40, Jay Rayner, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Festival Director, Gregory Porter.

      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           Whether you're a seasoned jazz enthusiast or simply looking to immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere there’s something for everyone. Personally, we love the informality of the Free Gigs and Street Performances in the “Around Town” programme, which offer unique and exciting experiences during this festival. Check out the performances on the stage in Montpellier Gardens moving onto the bustling streets, pubs, and clubs of Cheltenham, there's no shortage of opportunities to discover new talent, groove to the music, and soak up the energy of the festival. So, whether you're a die-hard jazz fan or simply looking to enjoy a day out with friends, Cheltenham's Jazz Festival promises six days of music, merriment, and memories that will linger long after the final notes have faded away. Get ready to jazz up your life – Cheltenham awaits!

      <title>A weekend at Neptune Apartments, Cheltenham</title>
      <link>https://www.neptuneapartments.co.uk/a-weekend-at-neptune-apartments-cheltenham</link>
      <description>Stay in the heart of Regency Cheltenham at Neptune Apartments. These luxury apartments on the historic promenade offer spacious, stylish stays for short or long visits.</description>
      <content:encoded>&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;h3&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Gloucestershire history lover and author of "Taking the Waters" (a historical fiction set in Regency Cheltenham), Lesley Sainty, was a recent guest at Neptune Apartments and shares her experience here.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;img src="https://irp.cdn-website.com/3aec1062/dms3rep/multi/lesley+sainty+3+resized.jpg" alt="A living room with a yellow couch , pink chair , coffee table and fireplace."/&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           If you’re looking to base yourself in the heart of Regency Cheltenham, the Neptune Apartments are an ideal choice.
           &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           These beautiful luxury apartments on the historic promenade are perfect for a short break or longer stays offering spacious rooms with both traditional and quirky design features.
           &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           During my weekend break, I stayed in the first floor Tetbury apartment: a beautiful, spacious two-room apartment which spans both the front and back of the building. Its large windows overlooking the Promenade made it the perfect place to relax. From the art on the walls and ornaments to the unusual lighting and richly coloured furniture, everything is so inspiringly designed. I enjoyed sitting in the spacious lounge area which looks out onto the Promenade, reading my book and writing or just simply watching the world go by. 
           &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The bedroom offered a peaceful sanctuary with sound insulation and calming colours, I enjoyed a great sleep in the comfy luxury bed. I had some friends over on the Saturday evening for drinks and nibbles before we went out in Cheltenham. It was perfect!
           &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The kitchen area includes a breakfast bar, dishwasher, hob and oven, giving you everything you need to relax and cook. It’s ideal if you’re visiting the town for one of the festivals as you can eat out but also bring food back and prepare. You still feel like you are part of the action as you’re right in the middle of town.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           On the Sunday, I strolled along the Promenade and enjoyed browsing in the shops which were quieter than on Saturday. I walked up to Montpellier and The Suffolk’s, and despite living in Cheltenham, it was lovely to feel like I could stroll back to a peaceful apartment nearby. Cheltenham is a beautiful town to explore, with hidden history, spacious parks and quirky shops.
           &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           I would highly recommend the Neptune Apartments in Cheltenham. I would suggest arriving by public transport as parking nearby doesn’t come cheap (although Neptune Apartments does have a limited number of parking permits for nearby available on a first come first served basis - you need to request this upon booking). I think the apartments are ideal for those visiting to be part of the action, so especially suited to people coming to the town’s many festivals. In terms of longer stays, the apartments feel like a home from home with everything you would need for relaxing mornings and chilled evenings. All 12 apartments come equipped with a Nespresso coffee machine, wine glasses, fridges and cooking equipment.
           &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Will I stay again? Definitely, and next time I’ll invite some friends and perhaps book more than one of the apartments!
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
