Smart but mellow, progressive without being arrogant, the Cotswolds are kicking a new kind of welly, waking up afresh. Nowhere does stylish country pubs, grand manor houses and hip boutique hotels quite like this part of the world. Whether for a weekend break or a longer stay, these are our top picks for the best hotels in the Cotswolds (in no particular order).
How we choose the best hotels in Cotswolds
Every hotel on this list has been selected independently by our editors and written by a Condé Nast Traveller journalist who knows the destination and has stayed at that property. When choosing hotels, our editors consider both luxury properties and boutique and lesser-known boltholes that offer an authentic and insider experience of a destination. We’re always looking for beautiful design, a great location and warm service – as well as serious sustainability credentials. We update this list regularly as new hotels open and existing ones evolve.
