Local People

This spring or summer, book a stay at a cosy country cottage, or a city-centre apartment and take your time exploring the whole length of the Great West Way route between Bristol and London.

This spring, hotels along the length of the Great West Way are opening once more, and welcoming guests back for their holidays. Think luxurious suites, comfortable beds, spa sessions, afternoon tea in hidden hotel gardens, on-site gyms and pools, big breakfasts, cocktail bars, special offers and more.

This April and May, lots of our favourite foodie friends from the length of the Great West Way route are throwing open their doors once more and inviting us back to the table.

"If you're looking for classic English landscape, you're certainly going to find it here."

We talk to Guy Hungerford from Guyers House Hotel and Restaurant near Corsham about the history and heritage of the Great West Way.

We catch up with Bob Matthews, co-owner of boutique Bed and Breakfast Lorne House, situated on the Great West Way near Corsham. 

"We love to tell people stories and histories, and to help inform them about the places they're seeing." 

"Very traditional, but with slightly quirky twists."

"One of the best things about having gardens like this is that people can come and see what we do. Hopefully they can get some inspiration for their own gardens."
