The Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty offers you the chance to step back in time. This quintessentially English region, with its gentle hills, honey-hued stone villages, and rolling landscapes, feels like a page out of a picture book. Villages such as Bibury, with its iconic Arlington Row, and Bourton-on-the-Water, often dubbed the "Venice of the Cotswolds," offer postcard-perfect scenes of tranquil rivers and traditional cottages.
The landscape is just as enchanting, and a walk along the Cotswold Way takes you past sweeping meadows and dense woodlands stopping off in charming pubs for refreshment along the way.
For those with an interest in history, the area is dotted with grand stately homes like Blenheim Palace and ancient stone castles. Whether you're in search of serene walks, cultural exploration, or simply a quiet escape, the Cotswolds delivers an idyllic retreat into England’s rural heartland.
Like everyone else, we adore the Cotswolds here at Coolstays. We’ve got an array of marvellous places to stay including cosy cottages, beautiful houses, and quaint cabins.
