Hotels in Chipping Campden

Chipping Campden's accommodation is shaped by its history: this is a town of coaching inns, Regency townhouses and family-run B&Bs rather than large hotel chains, and the choice below reflects that. At the top end, a Grade II listed Regency house and an 18th-century townhouse on the main square both offer the kind of polished, spa-and-restaurant stay that suits a special-occasion break, while retaining the low-key Cotswold character that keeps this town from feeling like a resort. A stone farmhouse-turned-guest-house just outside the centre in Broad Campden adds a quieter, garden-set alternative for those who want comfort without being in the thick of it.

In the middle of the market, several historic inns do double duty as places to eat and places to stay, which suits visitors who want a proper dinner without having to book a table elsewhere. A 14th-century former monks' lodging, a coaching inn with links to Charles II, and a 17th-century country inn a couple of miles out in Weston-sub-Edge all offer characterful rooms above a working bar and restaurant, generally at a lower price than the townhouse hotels and with a more informal, drop-your-bags-at-the-bar welcome.

For those on a tighter budget, or who simply prefer a home-from-home over a hotel, Chipping Campden's B&Bs are strong. A traditional inn on St Catharine's Square offers straightforward bed-and-breakfast rooms above its own restaurant, while a family-run guest house on George Lane, a short walk from the High Street, is typical of the quieter, personally-run accommodation this part of the Cotswolds does well. Across all three tiers, rooms are limited and this remains a popular weekend destination, so booking ahead is strongly advised, particularly from late spring through to early autumn.
