Best places to stay:
Chipping Campden is one of the Cotswold’s most picturesque towns, and this is its best hotel; a honey-hued Regency building and adjoining period houses, fronting onto the town’s main street.
Bedrooms are chic and unfussy, with a refreshing lack of chintz, spread out along the maze of corridors, and as charming, stand-along cottages in the garden.
The Bistro on the Square is a lively spot for dinner or cocktails (there are 70 types of gin to choose from), but the cherry on the cake is the enchanting garden that stretches behind the hotel, with loungers and deckchairs dotted among flower-filled borders.
At the far end, the former coach house is home to the hotel’s excellent spa, offering soothing Decleor treatments.
Chipping Campden is a classic Cotswolds town, with honey-coloured stone buildings dating back centuries, and a real sense of atmosphere. It’s a very photogenic village, with shops and pubs, and still manages to hang on to its charm, despite the influx of visitors.
The hotel is on the main square in the village and, as a popular town with tourists, it can be busy in summer.
