- Cheltenham, England
From the fairytale gardens and peaceful Cotswolds setting to the flawlessly attentive staff, who remembered food allergies, arranged birthday surprises, and served fresh pots of tea without being asked, Lords of the Manor delivers the kind of unhurried, beautifully considered hospitality that leaves guests declaring it the finest hotel they have ever stayed in.
- Broadway, England
From the moment you sink into a slipper-clad stupor beside the roaring log fire, champagne in hand, it becomes clear that Foxhill Manor's eight rooms, bespoke kitchen-to-table dining, and a young, warmly attentive team who will conjure a hot toddy or honey-and-ginger at a moment's notice have together fashioned something rare in the Cotswolds: a house that feels thoroughly lived-in and personal rather than merely luxurious.
- Broadway, England
Guests return year after year to this family-run Cotswolds manor for its beautifully individual rooms, including the stunning Carriage Room and coach house with their sweeping views, attentive staff such as Louise and Robin who greet arrivals with champagne and unhurried conversation, locally sourced breakfasts of exceptional quality, complimentary afternoon tea and Huffkin cake served in the Great Hall or gardens, and a walled setting that opens directly through a private hedge into the heart of Broadway village.
- Broadway, England
Tucked into the Cotswold ridge above Broadway, Dormy House wraps guests in a modern-country warmth, thoughtfully designed rooms with rain showers and carefully chosen furnishings, a spa featuring a snow room and outdoor hydro pool, breakfasts that consistently draw praise, and a front-of-house team whose attentiveness to anniversaries, mini-moons and birthdays, champagne, rose petals, sweet treats, makes the place feel less like a hotel and more like somewhere that has been quietly expecting you.
- Tetbury, England
Tucked behind an unassuming door on Tetbury high street, The Close rewards those who step inside with classy, inviting décor, a charming garden, and attentive staff, Benjamin and the team in particular, who bring warmth and even a little humour to beautifully presented meals, though the occasional lapse in service polish and a saggy mattress or two suggest the experience can vary.
- Chipping Campden, England
Occupying a prime spot in Chipping Campden, this handsome historic hotel wins consistent praise for its warm, professional staff, beautiful gardens, beamed reception spaces, and balcony rooms overlooking the grounds, though discerning guests should note that breakfast and in-room maintenance have occasionally fallen short of the premium experience the setting so confidently promises.
- Cirencester, England
The Swan's riverside location in Bibury and attentive staff create moments of warmth, but inconsistent dining service, small portions, frozen-tasting chips, and a rushed atmosphere undermine any intimate, unhurried cosiness the historic setting might otherwise offer.
- Stroud, England
The restaurant at Burleigh Court earns warm praise for its fantastic food and knowledgeable, friendly service, set against beautiful gardens and unbelievable views that guests are encouraged to savour with a drink before dinner, though afternoon tea has seen some operational hiccups, and the spa facilities have occasionally fallen short of the elegant surroundings.
