The Cotswolds are simply one of the most beautiful locations in the United Kingdom. The rolling hills of the region begin near the meadows of the Upper Thames and continue towards the Severn Valley and the Vale of Evesham. The Cotswolds are an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and have, for many years, been a popular location for both international and domestic tourists to visit. The natural beauty of the area is astonishing, and its many quaint cottages and villages make it the perfect place to visit if you are looking for a quintessentially English countryside experience. The Cotswolds are wonderful if you are a keen lover of the outdoors—there are many lovely walks—or if you prefer to spend your time learning about prehistory (the region is known for its Jurassic limestone) followed by a pint or a bite to eat in a charming pub. Regardless of your reasons for visiting this wonderful part of England, you will need somewhere to stay. In the list below we explore some of the best hotels the Cotswolds have to offer—and there is certainly no shortage!
