Cotswold House Hotel & Spa

The lovely Cotswold House Hotel and Spa is situated in a
Regency era building on the main street of the quaint and historic town of
Chipping Camden in the bucolic Cotswold Hills. Surrounded by flower filled
grounds that lay hidden behind the stone house, the property is composed of
several buildings, including 16th-century cottages and the spa,
which is housed in a converted coach house. The charming grounds are full of hedgerows, topiaries, and
all kinds of greenery spilling onto stone paths that meander through the
property. There’s plenty of garden furniture and picnic tables about, tucked
away in charming corners and presiding over manicured green lawns.Interiors are elegant and stylish, blending old-world charm
with modern decor. The walls of the lobby are composed of dark mahogany panels
that match the crimson carpet. The elegant space feels like a swanky living
room, with textured black and white couches surrounding a glass coffee table
and a lovely a fireplace. Fresh flowers scattered throughout are a nice touch.
A beautiful wooden staircase in the hallway curls up in swooping circles to the
top floor where a waterfall lighting fixture dangles from the decorative molded
ceiling. The ambience is peaceful and attracts many Londoners looking for a
serene weekend getaway, as well as travelers exploring the Cotswolds.

The Cotswold House Hotel and Spa is well situated on the
main street of the historic and charming town of Chipping Camden, a historic market town surrounded by fields and farmland of the bucolic Cotswold Hills. Surrounded by honey-hued limestone buildings that line High
Street, the hotel overlooks the village square and is bounded by beautiful
gardens that occupy its two acres of grounds. High Street is lined with several
restaurants, shops, and inns, and there is a bus stop serving several lines
