The very best places to stay in
The Cotswolds are idyllic at any time of year, all honey-hued villages, pretty market towns, gently rolling countryside and amazing gastropubs. Weaving up from Gloucestershire to Oxfordshire, and spilling into Wiltshire, Somerset, Worcestershire and Warwickshire en route, they’re a huge part of England geographically (800 sq.m ish, for that pub-quiz knowledge), and ooze quintessential British charm: cricket on the village green; thatched cottages; stately homes, golden churches and ancient battle sites. Base yourself in a romantic cabin with a hot tub or cosy, dog-friendly cottage and explore the Cotswold at that lovely holiday-slow pace.

Curate your Cotswolds stay
Architecture
We love Chastleton House – a Jacobean beauty, dating back to 1612 — and Unesco-listed Blenheim Palace, birthplace to Winston Churchill.
Must-visit
Breathtaking villages. Bourton on the Water — aka Venice of the Cotswolds – is gorgeous, all willow trees and stone bridges over the River Windrush. Bibury is another gem, home to the former weavers’ cottages on Arlington Row.
With kids
Spend a day at Cotswolds Wildlife Park, admiring lemurs, giraffes, rhinos, red pandas and capybara.
Foodie treat
The Pig in the Cotswolds, walkable from our T Barn Huts, and The Wild Rabbit in Kingham. Pop into Daylesford Organics too, for deliciously fresh, nourishing food (and a bottle of their rose Frizzante.)
Best activity
Walking the Cotswolds Way. Our favourite stretch is through Winchcombe and Broadway.
Secret Kip tip
Explore Black Jack St and Stable Yard in Cirencester. The city’s oldest street, it is lined with brilliant independents and quirky antique shops.
