Your Modern Guide to the Cotswolds
CURATED STAYS
We’re building a deliberately small collection of cottages, apartments and independent hotels across the Cotswolds — chosen for character, comfort and location rather than simply filling a directory.
FEWER LISTINGS. BETTER STAYS.
We’re not trying to list every bed in the Cotswolds. The aim is to feature places we would genuinely recommend: somewhere with a sense of place, good design or simply the kind of detail that makes a weekend easier and more memorable.
AVAILABLE NOW
A calm countryside base just outside Cheltenham, with privacy, space and easy access to walks, pubs and the northern Cotswolds. It’s the first stay in the collection and a good example of the sort of place we want Cotswold Stays to become known for.
Best for: couples, longer countryside stays and exploring Cheltenham with the villages beyond.
WHAT WILL MAKE THE CUT
From village hideaways to converted barns and countryside boltholes that feel rooted in their setting.
Small hotels, inns and design-led stays where service and personality matter more than a long facilities list.
A stay should make the trip easier — close to the right village, walk, pub, town or stretch of countryside for the kind of weekend you want.
FOR OWNERS
We’re actively looking for distinctive cottages, apartments, farm stays, cabins and independent hotels to join Cotswold Stays. The first 50 accepted properties can join the Founding Collection free for 12 months, with no setup fee and no commission on bookings made through their existing booking route.
