Broadway
One of England's oldest coaching inns, this magnificent 16th-century hostelry in the showpiece village of Broadway has been welcoming guests since 1532 and today combines its extraordinary heritage with a superb spa and AA Rosette restaurant.
Lower Slaughter
A beautifully restored 17th-century inn in the chocolate-box village of Lower Slaughter, with 31 rooms of genuine character, a mill stream running past the gardens, and an award-winning farm-to-fork restaurant. Walking distance to both Slaughter villages.
Burford
A 16th-century stone manor in Burford — the 'Gateway to the Cotswolds' — offering 23 rooms with exposed beams and stone fireplaces, a walled garden, and a restaurant focused on Cotswold produce. Full of authentic period character.
Cowley
A Victorian mansion with a boldly contemporary interior transformation, Cowley Manor combines 30 idiosyncratic rooms with 55 acres of Capability Brown-esque grounds and an exceptional spa complex with outdoor pools fed by natural springs. One of the Cotswolds' most distinctive stays.
