The 5 Best Hotels in the Cotswolds, According to Vogue | Vogue

"Family-owned and rooted at Southrop Manor, it’s both a home and a business for founder Caryn Hibbert, who raised her family here before converting a handful of run-down farm buildings on the surrounding estate into a thriving hotel, restaurant, and cooking school. Today, her daughter Camilla is the general manager and her eldest son Charlie is the chef director of the fine dining Ox Barn and the lively village pub, the Swan. The feel is warmly homey and quintessentially English—think buttoned wool armchairs, roll-top tubs, and botanical-print textiles by Bertioli, the interiors and lifestyle company run by Caryn and Camilla—while the 150 acres of gardens, farmland, water meadows, and riverbanks are there for guests to explore. Amenities include a restaurant, bar, pub, spa, pool, cooking school, and workshops, and even if you aren’t staying, it’s worth booking dinner at the Ox Barn for a Mediterranean-inspired menu that draws on estate ingredients and a soaring dining room in a former Victorian oxen house that’s among the most beautiful in the Cotswolds." - Jo Rodgers
