Little London’s Wersha Bharadwa heads to the The Fish Hotel ? a Cotswolds estate that makes for an ultra-cool, quintessentially British luxury family getaway ? for a weekend full of back-to-nature adventures for kids and blissfully grown-up glamour for parents.

Review: The Fish Hotel, a Luxury Family Retreat
Location
Treehouses
A class of its own, The Fish Hotel is nestled deep inside 400 sprawling acres of idyllic parkland that make up the Farncombe Estate in Broadway, Worcestershire ? also home to glitzy sister hotels Dormy House and Foxhill Manor.
You?ll find leaving the seriously hip country retreat a struggle, but if you do, head out to Capability Brown designed folly, Broadway Tower. It?s the second highest point in the Cotswolds and a 10-minute drive away. If time allows, hop over to the chocolate-box Broadway village for a nose around honey-stoned shops, a famous deli, cutesy cafes and traditional pubs. First Impressions
Lounge at The Fish Hotel
The drive down is tremendous fun and as theatrical as it gets. You?ll drive past Foxhill Manor first, and some staggeringly beautiful views over the Vale of Evesham. Cute signage tells you to watch out for deer and roaming Guinea fowl. Indeed, arriving at dusk ups your chances of spotting the wild stag known to graze serenely on roadside lawns inside the estate.
You can?t really call The Fish a hotel either; it?s more a quirky, elite village-within-in-a village with bedrooms and suit...
