Calcot & Spa, near Tetbury, has unveiled its new restaurant, The Brasserie, and day-to-night café lounge, The Hive.

The developments follow an expansion of the hotel's family suites and ahead of further updates to the hotel later this year.

Serving breakfast (for guests), lunch, dinner afternoon tea and Sunday lunch, The Brasserie is a bright and airy restaurant overlooking the surrounding gardens and rewilded grounds beyond.

Executive chef Richard Davies and his team bring their extensive experience to make the very best of the freshest ingredients as well as using foraged elements from Calcot's very own land and honey from the hotel's apiary.

Between 5pm and 6pm is a special hour for children's tea (for those up to age 12), providing favourites to keep little ones happy.

A brand-new addition to the hotel is The Hive - a stylish café lounge with comfortable nooks for coffee and grazing throughout the day, turning into an ambient spot for pre-dinner cocktails and after-dinner drinks.

The Hive serves nibbles and grazing boards to share, afternoon tea, fine wines and a list of classic and creative Cotswold-inspired cocktails.

The renovation of The Brasserie and the launch of The Hive represents the latest in the Calcot Collection's ongoing investment plan, ensuring that Calcot & Spa - and the collection's other two properties, The Painswick near Stroud and the Lord Crewe Arms in Blanchland, Northumberland - continue to provide a chic escape with heartfelt service to guests and locals.

Later this year will see Calcot & Spa add a brand-new gym and fitness studio, complete with its own café, workspace, and a regular programme of classes and wellbeing talks, offering enhanced facilities and services for members and guests from January.

A revitalisation of the Spa will follow, with additional treatment rooms in order to meet the continued demand for Calcot & Spa's therapies.

Richard Ball, executive chairman of The Calcot Collection, said: "These additions to The Calcot Collection mark an exciting new phase in our offering to guests and locals alike. With the advent of more flexible working, we have found that the way in which our guests are using our hotels' spaces have changed; people want the ability to switch between leisure and work time more readily, and to dine in an adaptable way that suits differing wants, needs and groups coming together for work or play.

"Operationally, we are working with a close-knit team that allows us to be nimble and accommodate this evolving guest demand."

Next year, exciting expansion plans continue with additions to the room inventory at Calcot & Spa, while this summer, sister hotel The Painswick - located in the village of Painswick outside Stroud - will add a neighbouring three-bedroom cottage for guests,
