Kindred
Spirit Stitchers would normally
be heading for the seaside, but have been unable to secure an appropriately
priced location due to the backlog of weddings. So we thought we
would head for the countryside, on the edge of the Cotswolds. Bowden Hall Hotel is a 4* Georgian country house set in 12 acres of its own parkland located on the edge of the Cotswolds in the Gloucester area, with easy access from the M5. The hotel has plenty of parking and is only about 40 minutes from the tourist spots of Burford, Stow on the Wold or Bourton on the Water if you fancy a day out. The stitching room for the week will be the Ambassador Suite (picture attached) which is located on the 1st Floor with vistas over the lake, ponds and the countryside. Home - Mercure Gloucester, Bowden Hall Hotel Included in the price;

Additional Costs;
We will require a £50 non-refundable deposit to reserve a place. We can then send you the terms and conditions which need to be read and signed. The balance will be due 2 months before the event. We would be happy for people to pay incrementally across May to August with the balance in September if that helps.
