A Fresh New Look For The South Marston Hotel & Leisure Club In Wiltshire

Focus Hotels

To celebrate its refurbishment, the South Marston Hotel & Leisure Club, a small, exciting property within easy access of the Wiltshire countryside, is offering fabulous value all inclusive breaks. Guests staying for two nights or more will pay from just �49.50 per person based on two sharing, including overnight accommodation in a stylish twin or double room, complimentary tea and coffee throughout the day in the hotel lounges, complimentary evening drinks, a three-course meal each evening and full English breakfast each morning.

This perfect getaway is in a fabulous location on the Cotswolds borders, the hotel, previously known as the Nightingale, has been totally renovated with an investment of one-million pounds. In addition to stylish d�cor and improved facilities thorough the whole hotel, each of its spacious en-suite bedrooms now feature plasma televisions, rain showers and free Wi-Fi access and many of the rooms are now fitted with air-conditioning.

Ideally located for a host of countryside walks as well as attractions such as Bourton-on-the-Water (the "Venice of Cotswolds") and historic Barbary Castle, there is also plenty to keep guests busy inside the hotel, including a 23 meter swimming pool, steam room, sauna, Jacuzzi, state of art gym, 4 gold-rated squash courts and an array of fitness classes. Those more intent on relaxation can simply enjoy the attractive surroundings and make the most of complimentary tea and coffee in the hotel lounges throughout the day.

After working up an appetite, guests can enjoy complimentary evening drinks in the bar (available 6pm - 11pm) followed by dinner in the contemporary and relaxed setting of the restaurant. The menu features locally sourced, simply prepared dishes: starters could include caramelised shallots and mushrooms in white wine and garlic served on toasted brioche or king prawn, avocado and roasted red pepper salad with mango and mint cr�me fra�che. Main dishes feature lamb rump steak with herb mash, roasted winter vegetables and rosemary and red wine jus, or salmon fillet with leek, bacon, and a lemon and thyme beurre blanc topped with pickled cucumber ribbons. Those with a sweet tooth can choose from dishes such as chocolate and Amaretto terrine or banana and cinnamon cr�me br�l�e. A full English breakfast each morning rounds off a great value package.

Ideally located in beautiful countryside but only a short drive from Swindon, the M4 and the Cotswolds, and a good base for exploring Bath and Bristol, the South Marston Hotel & Leisure Club provides good value accommodation with bright, modern d�cor whilst retaining individuality and character to offer a comfortable �home from home� break.
