Gloucestershire

Gloucestershire is almost entirely taken up by the beautiful Cotswolds: a timeless rural idyll, all cobbled streets and honey-hued cottages, bustling market towns and breathtaking scenery. It feels like stepping back in time and the 102-mile Cotswold Way is the feather in its cap. Visit quirky Stroud, brimful of independent shops, elegant Cheltenham, to ogle its Regency buildings and quaint Bibury, also called ‘the capital of the Cotswolds.’ Here you’ll find our special places to stay in one of England’s most picturesque areas. Each has been inspected and selected for their individuality, creativity and the introduction they give you to an area filled with character, crafts and culture.
