The Cotswolds
Home to some of the most beautiful countryside in the UK, as well as picture-perfect towns and villages, the Cotswolds is a popular staycation destination for couples, families, friends and solo travellers. Whether you’re looking for a rural retreat or a lively city break, there’s something for everyone here. We’ve even compiled the best towns to visit in The Cotswolds for you.
Boasting 800 square miles of land, it runs through five different counties – Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire, Worcesthire, Warwickshire and Wiltshire – meaning there’s plenty to do and see, whatever time of year you visit. Spend your days in the traditional English villages, visit some of the UK’s oldest buildings and marvel at the natural beauty that can be found in the reserves, arboreats, forests and more.
Take in the vibrant buzz at some of the area’s bustling cities, and keep an eye out on the annual events calendar which is packed with arts, entertainment and cultural activities. The local food is another reason why visitors flock here – with cheese, meats and delicious pastries being served up in old pubs, modern establishments and cute cafes.
The accommodation and beautiful cottages in the Cotswolds are just as inviting. Think large country houses with open plan living spaces, luxury apartments in a barn conversion or charming dog-friendly log cabins for a romantic retreat – that all come equipped with home comforts and a few extras like a hot tub. Of course, we could go on, but why not see just how incredible a hot tub break in the Cotswolds really is for yourself?

Cirencester
Best for? Something livelier
Our top property pick: Reflections
While the Cotswolds might be known for its laid-back style and quaint villages, it is home to a few busy cities and thriving market towns like Cirencester. Often called the Capital of the Cotswolds, here you’ll find plenty of things to do and see – as well as a lot of history. In fact, in Roman times, it was the second largest town after London.

Little bridges cross it and gorgeous green spaces surround it as do pubs, bars, restaurants and shops. It can get quite busy in the peak seasons and at weekends but it’s well worth a visit if you want the traditional Cotswold feel. It’s also a great base for exploring the rest of the area and has lots of family-friendly attractions within walking distance.

The town itself boasts lots of history, amazing architecture and plenty of cafes and pubs to keep everyone refuelled. There’s also a few galleries and two museums – The Oxfordshire Museum and Soldiers of Oxfordshire Museum – which make for a great day out for all ages. The town’s church also has a musical clock which plays a different tune every day.
Oxford
