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

"Guests waited years to check into this Grade-II listed Edwardian stately home set in 3,000 acres on the eastern reaches of the Cotswolds, formerly known as Eynsham Hall before hotelier Sharan Pasricha spent five meticulous years transforming it into a pertly glamorous hotel and private members’ club. The main house, devised by Roman and Williams, revels in a more is more is more mood—glistening chinoiserie wallpaper, slinky velvet sofas made for ankle-rubbing nightcaps, hand-painted murals, ebony four-posters, and a morning fry-up with hash browns on a silver platter. Bathing gets star billing too: an 82-foot heated outdoor pool stretches from the south side, and the vast Roman-inspired Eynsham Baths brings plunge pools of varying temperatures and a hay sauna. There’s no dress code, and the vibe is less tweedy country estate, more glittering urban outpost in the wild; amenities span four restaurants, a bar, pool, bathhouse, spa, gym, garden tours, and a private members’ club, and at the Glasshouse restaurant the Chicken Panzanella sharing platter is a specialty—it’s impossible to oversell it." - Jo Rodgers
