Royal Sweet

Royal Sweet: Gloucestershire

Rather aptly for an apartment on a street called Queen's Circus, this home is really rather regal. Some of that is down to the tall ceilings, period features and tall sash windows looking out over Imperial Gardens, but it's all the little design touches, too — the chandeliers and oversized, ornate mirror frames add a touch of class in the living space and bedrooms, while the rainfall shower and elegant free-standing tub bring spa-level amenities to the bathrooms. The kitchen is both large and dazzlingly white, perfect for any culinary experimentation you have in mind. Alternatively, you're more than welcome to leave it completely unused, as there's a wide array of restaurants available in the surrounding Montpellier neighbourhood. If the weather's kind during your visit, Sandford Parks Lido can be reached in fifteen minutes' on foot, while you can be in the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in ten minutes' drive.
