Just let us know when you check in if you’re planning to head out and explore the county as we’ll be happy to provide you with all the information you need on where to go and how to get there. With so many gorgeous locations on our doorstep, and finally some lovely weather, it’s the perfect time to explore the very best of what the Cotswolds have to offer.
