Hotels in the Cotswolds
70 handpicked places to stay

The Cotswolds has been welcoming overnight guests for centuries, and the choice of hotels and B&Bs reflects that long history of hospitality. In Cheltenham, expect a more urban mix, from townhouse guest rooms like Number 8 Cheltenham to grander properties such as Manor by The Lake, suited to visitors combining the town's Regency streets with countryside days out.
Away from Cheltenham, smaller family-run B&Bs dominate, often set in converted farmhouses or period cottages. Places like Pardon Hill Farm B&B and Guiting Guest House give a genuine sense of rural Cotswold life, while Chipping Campden's options put you within walking distance of one of the region's best-preserved high streets.
With over 300 places to choose from, it is worth deciding first whether you want a base for exploring by car, in which case a farmhouse B&B such as Cornerways or Laurel House works well, or somewhere to stay on foot in a market town, where Crossways Guest House or College View offer easy access to shops and pubs.
