Places to Stay in the Cotswolds

Spread across 6 counties, the Cotswolds takes time to truly explore. So please, stay a while… Cotswolds villages such as Castle Combe, Lacock, Badminton and Malmesbury all make idyllic bases. 

Bath Self Catering is a good place to find independent accommodation in the area, with listings including the Garden House in Castle Combe which has a picturesque garden and terrace suited to family gatherings. And in the nearby market town of Chippenham you’ll find lots more options, like Best Western Angel Hotel - a 17th-century coaching inn.

Recognisable for its rolling farmland and eponymous, long-woolled sheep, the Cotswolds is also a natural choice for a farmhouse stay. Beanhill Farmhouse, built from honey-coloured Cotswold stone, is set amid a working livestock farm and guests are invited to meet the animals. Breakfast includes eggs freshly laid by the family’s free range chickens.

If you’re heading off on a hike along the Cotswolds Way, there are plenty of welcoming campsites you can pitch up in along the way. And if you’d like to check in to a plush B&B, pub or guest house for a warm shower and a hearty home-cooked meal, you can do that too. Compass Holidays can take all the planning for such a trip - including booking accommodation - out of your hands.

Or perhaps you’re keen on a destination hotel, somewhere you can take time out in inspiring surroundings to feel relaxed and rejuvenated. In that case, Whatley Manor Hotel & Spa should do the trick - a ‘grown up getaway’ with a cinema, spa, restaurants and more.
