Cotswold House Hotel, Chipping Campden

The Cotswold House Chipping Campden  presents travellers with a dizzying array of country house hotels, from rustic hunting lodges to elegant period pieces to contemporary-styled designer boutiques. How could one more country house possibly hope to stand out?

Cotswold House’s solution is to present a bit of all things to all people—this is an eminently customisable experience, offering separate menus of options for bedding weight, pillow thickness, bath amenities, and minibar items.

And as for the variables you can’t control, well, you’re stuck with the country idyll of the Cotswolds, the picturesque village of Chipping Campden, and the immediate setting of an elegant Regency townhouse that dates back to the early 19th century. The interiors have been renovated, and eschew period preciousness in favor of a more contemporary Frette-sheeted look—nothing shockingly avant-garde, just a warm and comfortable décor, with none of the look-don’t-touch antique overload on display at some historic country hotels.
