“A hotel sitting in 400 acre estate, close to Stratford and the Cotswolds. Laid back and modern with cosy touches. Restaurant, bar with fireplace plus lots of outdoor activities from archery to segway safaris. A cool choice for weekend getaways for groups or young couples. ”

Hotel review

The newest addition to the bevy of properties on the Farncombe Estate, The Fish offers affordable luxury in a stunning Cotswold setting. The village style accommodation has been cunningly crafted from what was once a staff training and conference centre, and now offers smart family friendly rooms and suites (plus a stand-alone farmhouse with 8 ensuite bedrooms, which can sleep up to 12 - ideal for larger groups). The decor is contemporary with more than a nod to Scandi-chic; neutral colours and carefully chosen pieces of furniture make for tasteful spaces. Book one of the Junior Suites and you'll even get your own wood-burner or private patio. Dining is very relaxed too. The restaurant serves a "gastro buffet", but if you prefer there is a great a la carte bar menu as well. The Fish is all about having a chilled break with friends and family (four-legged friends are welcome too) and there's masses to do in the 400 acres surroundng the property from segway safaris and archery to exploring the estate either on foot or bike. A laid-back rural getaway for all ages.
