Romantic breaks in the Cotswolds

---

Situated between Bath and Stratford the Cotswolds are unarguably romantic. High quality hotels and restaurants mix with the beautiful countryside and architecture, to create the recipe for a perfect luxury romantic break.

Luxury romantic hotels

The most romantic hotels in the Cotswolds are unashamedly upmarket. Hoteliers here understand the lure of log fires, antiques, rich fabrics and four poster beds and create a wonderful ambience for love at any time of year.

Making the most of your romantic break

Explore together the England's grand Regency Spa town, Cheltenham and other fine wool-market towns such as Winchcombe, Bibury and Painswick. It's worth having a car to ensure that you can explore the rolling countryside - but walking through the tranquil river valleys and honeyed villages reveals the area at its romantic best.

The Cotswolds has some of England's finest churches and country houses - Hidcote Manor, Painswick, Westonbirt Arboretum and Sudeley Castle, home of Henry VIII's last Queen - which provide the perfect setting for a bodice-ripping romantic drama.

Wander through magnificent gardens, picnic at romantic ruined Abbeys or Gothic follies. Chase each other through the ancient forest. Seek out the dramatic views from the Cotswold escarpment

Immerse yourselves in the rich romantic historical and literary heritage.
