Hotels for Christmas in Cotswolds

Christmas is an increasingly popular time for hotel breaks, so whether you’re planning to celebrate Christmas in Cotswolds quietly or with a bang, here are our recommended hotels for the festive period.

Old Parsonage Hotel

Old Parsonage Hotel, Oxford

‘A stone’s throw from everything Oxford has to offer’, Jeremy Mogford’s second hotel (see preceding entry) impressed our inspectors with its ‘peaceful, classy vibe’.

The Lamb Inn

The Lamb Inn, Burford

In a picturesque Cotswold town, an 18th-century inn contrived from a row of 15th-century weavers’ cottages has been gently shepherded into the 21st century.

Old Bank Hotel

Old Bank Hotel, Oxford

Jeremy Mogford’s conversion of the old Barclays Bank gets credit from a Guide insider for its 'brilliant location, right in the city centre'.

The Trout at Tadpole Bridge

The Trout at Tadpole Bridge, Buckland Marsh

The gardens run down to the Thames with free moorings for guests at this gastropub-with-rooms in the Vale of the White Horse, a former toll house for the eponymous 18th-century stone bridge.

The Broadway Hotel

The Broadway Hotel, Broadway

With its wisteria-covered honey stonework, medieval half-timbering and a position overlooking the village green, The Broadway is film-set perfect.

Bay Tree Hotel

Bay Tree Hotel, Burford

A charmingly refurbished hotel, forged from a row of 17th-century houses in picturesque Burford – gateway to the Cotswolds.

Old Swan

Old Swan, Minster Lovell

In a village of thatched houses, surrounded by woodland and wildflower meadows and close to a willow-hung riverbank, the 600-year-old Old Swan has a timeless charm.

The Rectory Hotel

The Rectory Hotel, Malmesbury

Fans of the Beckford Arms group (see Tisbury) will love the simple sophistication at this hotel, once home to a Georgian rector who went forth and multiplied and had 14 children to house.

Thyme

Thyme, Southrop

With the feel of a charmed Cotswolds village, this collection of honeyed buildings house chic rooms surrounded by pretty gardens, as well as a spa, pub and cookery school.

Artist Residence Oxfordshire

Artist Residence Oxfordshire, South Leigh

With funky artwork in the bar and attractive salvaged furniture, this is not your conventional thatched village inn, but it brims with a quirky charm and a warm, open-to-everyone welcome.

The Swan

The Swan, Bibury

In a setting that elicits admiration, this stylishly updated 17th-century coaching inn stands on the banks of the River Coln, in a village, described by William Morris, as the most beautiful in England.
