The Cotswolds is Arcadian England. Centuries of interaction between man and nature are reflected in the landscape: carpets of fields; managed forests; beautiful churches that bear witness to a rich, sheepish past; 6,000 kilometers of dry stone walls that not only form borders, but also protect wrens, mice and more. Easily accessible from London and the Midlands, the area is a perfect area for a short (or even long) break.
In addition, there is a wonderful range of country old pubs offering pleasant accommodation; think of crackling fires in stone fireplaces, delicious dishes based on regional products and characterful bedrooms. From Kings Head in picturesque Bledington to The New Inn in hidden Coln St Aldwyns, here's our pick of the best Cotswold pubs with rooms.
