Here is our view from our B&B at King’s Stanley. We’ve been happily upgraded from 2.5 stars to 5! Not only do we have our own suite and private loo, the vistas are stunning, and, after spending a few nights sleeping over a pub, the peace and silence are almost deafening.
Rain arrived today and with it, a change of venue. We found ourselves exploring the beautiful little town of Stroud, complete with pedestrian-only streets and a myriad of sweet shops, tea rooms and ancient buildings.
Today we were more than happy to skip a portion of steep and muddy trail, and we boarded the local bus and rode like royalty for all of ten minutes to our cozy nest in King’s Stanley. With a spa-like atmosphere including thick robes and luxury body washes and soaps, there is only one minor issue - that being, one can only stand up straight at full height in the dead center of the room. Walking anywhere else requires a deep, reverent bow and a primate shuffle, else risking a sound knock to the noggen. With luck that little fact will stay fresh in my brain during my nocturnal wanders tonight.
