About Hazelwood

Hazelwood House really is something special - deep
in the heart of the Avon Valley and with tons of character,
it has a wonderful converted Chapel (where we teach
you Tai Chi moves and relaxing Qi Gong) and views to
die for. The food is excellent and many of the rooms
have great views.
