A classic Cotswold stone inn in the tourist-friendly 'Venice of the Cotswolds', the Old New Inn offers comfortable, well-priced rooms and a reliably good pub menu. An honest, unpretentious base for exploring the central Cotswolds.
Charlbury
A charming Cotswold stone pub-with-rooms in the quiet market town of Charlbury, The Bell delivers well-priced comfort, a superb local beer selection, and a kitchen that punches well above its weight. Easy train access from Oxford makes it accessible without a car.
Northleach
A beautifully relaxed inn in the often-overlooked wool town of Northleach, The Wheatsheaf balances genuine pub character with carefully designed bedrooms and exceptional food. A favourite among those who prefer real local atmosphere over tourist honeypots.

Chipping Campden
An elegant Regency townhouse at the top of Chipping Campden's magnificent High Street, with 29 rooms, a superb spa, and a walled garden restaurant. The town itself — one of the Cotswolds' finest — is on your doorstep.
