Where is your favourite pub or restaurant? My favourite restaurant is hands down Prithvi. It is such an amazing culinary experience, and we are so lucky to have such a highly regarded restaurant in Cheltenham. It is the perfect place to celebrate a special occasion.
What do you love about the area? I love how much Cheltenham has to offer. We are very lucky to live in such a beautiful Regency Town with excellent schools and amenities and so many fantastic independent businesses from coffee shops to beauty salons, and of course Estate Agents!
What do you think is the best view in the area? One of the best views is inside The Nook, located on the top floor of The Quadrangle on Imperial Square. The vistas are truly spectacular of Central Cheltenham and can be enjoyed on the outdoor terrace with a glass of Aperol Spritz.

How would you spend the perfect day? My ideal day in Cheltenham would be starting the day with how every day should be started – caffeine. One of my favourite spots is the The Butterfly Box which does an amazing Flat White which can be enjoyed whilst walking around the beautiful Hatherley Park.
From there I would walk to the centre of town, to Regent Street where my favourite brunch spot is – Woodkraft. After I would do a little shopping in Montpellier, Tivoli and The Suffolks – I love all the boutiques! Then I would head home via Bath Road, picking up some delicious bits for supper from The Curious Café Bistro.
