The
tourist office
at 64 Barton St (April-Oct Mon-Sat 9am-5pm, Sun 10am-4pm; rest of year closed Sun; tel 01684/295027,
) has inexpensive town and walking maps, plus a small museum (A?1) upstairs. You won't have to look far to find a
room
, though noise can be a problem. There are several B&Bs on Barton Road, including
Barton House
at no. 5 (tel 01684/292049; under A?40), which has an eclectic mix of old furniture. More genteel are the
Two Back of Avon
, a beautiful period building on Riverside Walk, left off Quay Street (tel 01684/298935; non-smoking; A?40-50), and the quiet
Carrant Brook House
on Rope Walk (tel 01684/290355; A?50-60). Tewkesbury's top
hotels
are the
Royal Hop Pole
, Church Street (tel 01684/293236,
; A?70-90), whose annexe has a loggia facing the garden, and the
Tudor House
, High Street (tel 01684/297755; A?70-90), where you can take coffee in the panelled Mayor's Parlour.
For daytime
snacks
or
lunches
, choose between the chrome of the
Aubergine
cafAŠ-bar for good salads and sandwiches or the ancient
Berkeley Arms
A
pub
on Church Street, which serves astoundingly cheap but fairly basic food. In the evenings, the blue and oak-furnished
Rendezvous
at 78 Church St (tel 01684/290357; closed Sun eve & Mon) concentrates on moderately priced Mediterranean-style fish and meat dishes, but also caters to vegetarians. Other useful information
