Highway to.. Burford. The Highway Inn is anything but a hell. The inn has eleven rooms, a tapas restaurant and a cozy bar. Including creaking floors, sloping walls and wooden beams. Exactly as you imagine an inn to be. For coffee or tea you have to go to the tea room (the rooms do not have their own kettle or coffee maker), but the free brownies more than make up for that. A little more about the restaurant, because for fish and chips you don't have to queue there. The only thing seafood what is on the menu at Toro is grilled octopus. The rest of the menu is filled with Spanish tapas, of course the croquettes not missing.
Less than 50 meters away lies little brother the BULL. Originally, the BULL was a 'coaching inn' - a place where tired horses could rest for a while to prepare for their next journey. Not that much has changed, because nowadays the BULL is a hotel where working horses can rest before they have to go back to work. This is perfectly possible in the comfortable and beautiful rooms. Powder colours on the walls, soft beds and rain showers. When booking, check whether the room you want to choose is really pet friendly is, in some rooms animals are not allowed. In the rooms where they are welcome, a bed and dog biscuits are provided.
Lords of the Manor is one of the most luxurious hotels in Upper Slaughter, Cheltenham. The stately mansion from 1649 is situated on a large piece of land, so you can walk your dog in the garden. Shoe service; the polishing of your (walking) shoes is included in your stay. Now that's service (and a win-win situation, because it will probably save you cleaning). Restaurant Atrium was awarded no less than four Red Star AA 'Inspector's Choice' and 4 AA Rosette awards. That's a lot, but oh lord(s), we can totally see why. Chef Charles Smith's signature menu costs around £120 per person, but if you find that a bit pricey or would rather choose what you eat yourself, you are welcome to visit The Dining Room restaurant.
At The Fish Hotel guests feel like fish in water; completely at home. Whether that place is a tree house, hilly hut, hideaway hut or 'regular' room does not matter. Staying at The Fish feels a bit like staying in a fairytale village. The village (the term hotel is not comprehensive enough for this place) is located on the Farncombe Estate near Broadway. If you are done with the clay pigeons, bow and arrow or axes (no shortage of organised activities) you are back in the civilised world in no time. Those who prefer to hang out in a zen bubble can do so in the Zen at House Spa. Fishing is not possible, but eating fish is; at restaurant The Hook. Hot dogs are served at the bar, and instead of afternoon teas they serve savoury tipsy teas.

Where would you like to stay as a Dutch person visiting Moreton in Marsh? The Cheese Room of course. The two-person holiday home has a small kitchen where you can easily prepare your own cheese board. Or rather: could make it. It is already waiting for you in the fridge. You don't have to go far for a cold pint either, the local pub is only a few minutes' walk away. When no one is home, the two stone dogs keep watch in front of the front door. which is equipped with a golden door knocker in the shape of a rabbit. Very Alice in Wonderland.
The Old Stocks Inn is located in the heart of Stow-on-the-Wold, on the village green where convicts used to be punished. In 2024, things will be a lot more pleasant in this village near Upper and Lower Slaughter. Also in the recently renovated 17th century coaching inn, which is run by a family who have thought of every detail and, together with a number of friendly staff, keep things running. The inn has two restaurants where you can dine and have an even better breakfast. English Breakfast with all the trimmings. If you don't like that, there is also a continental option.
