Think ‘Cotswolds’ and you might conjure up mental images of holidaying among softly rolling hills and green valleys, perhaps with woodsmoke curling over the honey-stoned manor house or country inn you’re staying in. What you probably don’t picture is a cheap and cheerful budget hotel – the Cotswolds is statistically one of the spendiest places to live in the UK and has been well-known as a postcard-worthy holiday destination for centuries.
But there’s no need to spend a packet to rub shoulders with Taylor Swift, Kate Moss and other famous fans of the Cotswolds National Landscape if you’re savvy enough to book one of these brilliant budget stays. These 12 hotels offer affordable yet cosy rooms in the Cotswolds that come complete with little luxuries and have beautiful places to explore right on the doorstep. We’ve included manor houses, ancient inns, spa stays and smart hotels in our roundup, and while many would make a treat weekend complete, they all come in at under £120 per night.
