Hotel
Set in the vibrant heart of Coventry city centre, the boutique Hotel Indigo Coventry is where history meets contemporary elegance. Each thoughtfully designed room offers a tranquil retreat, complete with luxurious Hypnos beds, Egyptian cotton linens and spa-inspired bathrooms, ensuring a truly restful stay.
|Day 1
We depart the local area and make our way north to Birmingham where we visit Winterbourne House & Gardens. Winterbourne is one of the best surviving examples of an Edwardian Arts and Crafts suburban villa garden. The garden was lovingly created by the homeowners, Margaret and John Nettlefold, using the books of Gertrude Jekyll as guides and inspiration. Today the botanical garden is Grade II listed and offers colour and interest throughout the year. The restored walled garden complete with crinkle-crankle wall, is a riot of rainbow shades. The lawns are fringed with striking colour themed borders, and beyond lies an original sandstone rock garden and a woodland walk through Gunnera leaves and Rhododendron displays. The botanical garden contains plants from around the globe with collections of plants from China, North and South America and the Alpine areas of the world. We enjoy a guided tour of the gardens followed by free time to explore the house & gardens. We arrive at the 4* Hotel Indigo Coventry, ready to settle in before dinner.
|Day 2
We depart the hotel and make our way to David Austin Roses, nestled in the Shropshire countryside, the award-winning rose gardens are home to the National Collection of English Roses. The abundance of colour and fragrance overwhelms the senses, making it a truly breathtaking experience. Considered to be one of the finest rose gardens in the world, it is one of only three gardens in England to have received the 'Award of Garden Excellence' from the World Federation of Rose Societies. We return home early evening.
