14 of the Best Pubs with Rooms in The Cotswolds

For many people The Cotswolds is England at its most charming. Honey coloured villages with an assortment of thatched cottages and graceful mansions and churches are connected by meandering roads which edge around hills, dales, woods and rivers. Peace, beautiful views and the promise of an impeccable cream tea or pint of real ale at the end of the day is what visitors to The Cotswolds find. The popularity of the area means that there’s a lot of choice when it comes to accommodation, and unfortunately, not all of it is worth the asking price. But our Gurus' recommendations for the best pubs with rooms in The Cotswolds are all just as good as they look in the photos. In our hand selected properties you’ll find a warm welcome, great food — some of it award-winning — cosy rooms, many with breathtaking views, and the opportunity to get some personalised advice on how to get the most out of this beautiful area.

For local exploring

The Wheatsheaf Inn in Northleach is a superb base for anyone wanting to explore the wider Cotswolds. Its central location means you can easily get to Bourton-on-the-water, Bibury, Cheltenham or Cirencester. Rooms are classic yet contemporary, but for something special book the Bigger Boutique Rooms with their Emperor sized beds and in-room rolltop tubs.
The Bell at Stow is located in gorgeous Stow-on-the-Wold, close to Moreton-in-Marsh and well placed for not only countryside explorations but also tips to Cheltenham. Its thriteen rooms offer the best of traditional features and up-to-the-minute interiors, and the restaurant serves classic dishes using seasonal local fare.
You will find The White Hart Ford at the opposite end of the Cotswolds, so ideal for exploring Chippenham, Castle Coombe and day trips to Bath. Eleven comfortable rooms are decorated in a traditional yet contemporary style with plenty of woollen throws and a country-chic vibe.
