Countryside chic fills this 17th-century farmhouse on a ridge above vast fields beyond the Cotswold village.

Romance is in the air, along with the birdsong of robins, nuthatches and chaffinches, at this golden-hued manor house in a pretty Cotswold village.

In this Cotswold town on the River Windrush, duck under the wisteria-draped arch of this well-updated hotel and enter a building rife with history.

‘We had a great time.’ Fifteen minutes’ drive from Cheltenham, this contemporary country house and spa stands in acres of parkland, woods and meadows, a laid-back atmosphere all around.

Decorated with flair, this grand Georgian villa across the road from the Imperial Gardens has bold bedrooms, modern artworks, a buzzy restaurant, and a ‘nice atmosphere’ throughout.
