Gloucestershire

Gloucestershire is almost entirely taken up by the beautiful, historic Cotswolds. Famous for its cobbled streets and honey-stone cottages, bustling market towns and breathtaking scenery, the Cotswolds feels like stepping back in time. These are 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 of character, crafts and culture.
