Hotels in Notgrove

Hotels in Notgrove itself are limited to a small number of farmhouse bed and breakfasts, reflecting the size of the parish – this is high, quiet wold country rather than a village with a hospitality scene of its own. Most visitors base themselves instead in nearby Bourton-on-the-Water or Stow-on-the-Wold, both under ten minutes away by car, where options range from traditional Cotswold coaching inns with stone fireplaces and exposed beams to boutique hotels and country house properties set in their own grounds. Cheltenham, a little further afield, adds a wider spread of choice again, from Regency townhouse hotels to budget chains, along with better transport links for those without a car for the whole stay.

Whichever base you choose, the appeal of staying near Notgrove is the same: quick access to genuinely open, uncrowded countryside, with the long barrow, St Bartholomew’s church and miles of footpath walking a short drive or a longer walk from the door, while the shops, restaurants and railway connections of the bigger Cotswold villages and Cheltenham remain within easy reach for day trips or evenings out. Booking ahead is worthwhile in summer and around Cotswold show and festival weekends, when accommodation across the wider area fills up quickly.
