The Cotswolds has long been the byword for luxury countryside retreats, with its honey-stone villages, rolling green hills and centuries of history all woven into one of the UK’s most beautiful regions. At Sawday’s, we celebrate its charm with a handpicked collection of truly special places to stay, from thatched cottages with log fires to boutique hotels where every detail features comfort and indulgence.

All of our places to stay are inspected by a member of our team, where we look for character, warmth and those little luxuries that turn a stay into something extra special, whether that’s a castle gatehouse for a special anniversary, a riverside barn for a celebratory weekend with friends, or a stylish inn where you can dine, sleep and wake up to misty morning fields.
