4 Best Hotels in Chipping Campden, Bath and the Cotswolds

This luxury hotel in the heart of Chipping Campden injects contemporary design into a stately 18th-century manor house, and from the swirling staircase in the entrance to the individually designed guest rooms studded with contemporary art, it's a winning formula. Two rooms have their own garden and hot tub. The lounges invite lingering, the spa luxuriating, and the terrace and spacious garden suggest seclusion—the perfect spot for afternoon tea. Both the casual Bistro on the Square and the more formal Fig Restaurant offer creative takes on English and Mediterranean dishes; they're worth a stop even if you aren't staying here.

Expect a friendly welcome at this antique B&B above a tearoom just across from the Market Hall, where the spacious, spotless rooms have beamed ceilings and exposed stonework. Guests are greeted with a cream tea on arrival, and an excellent breakfast will set you up for the day.

Views of the countryside are limitless from this 14th-century manor-house hotel where mullioned windows and oak beams enhance the sitting room. T. S. Eliot, a guest in the 1930s, used to enjoy walking the 50 acres of grounds. The menus at the restaurant include both traditional English and Mediterranean-inspired dishes such as lamb rump  or roast cod with spinach. Most of the rooms, furnished in contemporary style, are outside of the main house. The hotel is 3 miles east of Chipping Campden.

Dating to the 14th century, Chipping Campden's oldest inn was built to accommodate foreign wool traders, and even though it's been enlarged, the building retains its exposed beams and stonework. Guest rooms—some in the 14th-century portion—are full of warm colors and dark oak furniture, and fully equipped with modern amenities. The restaurant serves award-winning curries. Breakfast can be taken in the airy conservatory. A Deluxe Spa Break package includes a night's accommodation at the Noel Arms, access to the spa at Cotswold House (a sister property), and other amenities.
