Luxury cottages in the Cotswolds
A tapestry of honeyed villages, peppered with crooked antique shops and field-to-fork dining, the Cotswolds National Landscape (formerly AONB) offers luxury self-catering accommodation in a timeless setting.
Covering five counties; Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, Wiltshire, Worcestershire, and Warwickshire, the Cotswolds spans nearly 800 square miles. Best known for its storybook villages and sweeping valleys, this region attracts many visitors for its historic sepia feel. Beyond its picture-postcard allure, the region has also evolved into a thriving hub of creativity, drawing a new wave of designers, artists, and writers. In their wake, sustainable restaurants, natural wine bars, and curated homeware shops have flourished, infusing this pastoral location with a dynamic energy.
Spend the day exploring Painswick Rococo Gardens and dining at Daylesford Organic or nurse a cider at The Woolpack Inn in the scenic Slad Valley. From country manors to architecturally elevated stone cottages, our luxury accommodation in the Cotswolds is picked for its character and captivating locations. For a romantic getaway, discover an idyllic cottage perched on a little island and accessed by a humpback bridge near Cirencester. For larger group gatherings, there’s a sprawling farm near Cheltenham, complete with the spa amenities of a members-only health club.
