There’s something unmistakable about stepping through the doors of Cotswold House Hotel & Spa in Chipping Campden. The honey-hued stone façade opens into interiors that feel both rooted in heritage and refreshed for today. From individually designed rooms to thoughtful dining and tranquil spa experiences, every corner of the hotel reflects a blend of traditional character and modern hospitality.
In this feature, we explore what it’s really like inside Cotswold House—and how the hotel balances timeless Cotswold charm with contemporary comfort.
A Regency Landmark with a Story to Tell
Cotswold House occupies a Grade II listed Regency townhouse on Chipping Campden’s historic high street. With its elegant proportions, original stonework, and classical detailing, the building itself is an expression of the area’s rich architectural legacy.
While the setting is undoubtedly historic, the experience inside the hotel is anything but old-fashioned. Interiors have been designed to honour original features while creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere—comfortable but never overstated.
The result is a space that feels authentically Cotswolds, where the past is celebrated without compromising on comfort.
Guest Rooms That Marry Character and Calm
Each of the hotel’s bedrooms and suites is individually designed. Whether you choose a classic room with exposed beams and antique details, or a suite with a private garden or freestanding bath, the atmosphere is consistently inviting.
Soft tones, layered textures and plush linens create a restful environment, while modern touches—such as smart TVs, Nespresso machines, and contemporary bathrooms—offer everyday ease.
The Cottage Rooms, located near the gardens, provide extra seclusion and are particularly popular for romantic getaways. Junior Suites and larger Suites include more generous space, with some offering garden views or private terraces—ideal for slow mornings or quiet evenings.
A Boutique Spa Tucked Away in the Gardens
Behind the main house, the Spa at Cotswold House is a peaceful retreat dedicated to relaxation and restoration. The spa features a hydrotherapy pool, steam room, and a menu of expertly delivered treatments.
Here, guests enjoy facials, massages and body therapies using premium skincare products. With a focus on holistic wellbeing, the treatments are personalised and delivered in private rooms designed for calm and comfort.
Spa days and tailored packages are available, but many guests simply weave a little wellness into their stay—unwinding after a day of exploration or recharging ahead of a celebration.
Dining with a Sense of Occasion
The hotel’s dining spaces are just as considered. At the Hidcote Brasserie & Grill, menus reflect seasonal ingredients sourced from local producers and artisan suppliers. The kitchen’s approach is rooted in quality and simplicity, with dishes that are both comforting and elevated.
Guests can enjoy breakfast, lunch, and dinner in a relaxed, stylish setting. Afternoon tea is a highlight for many visitors, with handmade cakes and savouries served against the backdrop of the hotel’s gardens or lounge.
Private dining is also available, making the hotel a popular choice for weddings, anniversary dinners, and milestone occasions.
