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.
Bibury
Occupying a 17th-century coaching inn in Bibury — a village William Morris called 'the most beautiful in England' — The Swan delivers refined country house comfort beside the River Coln. Its afternoon tea is among the Cotswolds' finest.
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.
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.
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.
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.
