Lime is a boutique hotel in the village of Stratton, where honey-coloured stone buildings give this traditional Cotswolds settlement its distinctive character.
The village itself has a genuinely peaceful quality, with quiet lanes perfect for a morning walk and a local pub nearby if you fancy a pint or some food without straying far from your base.
What makes staying here particularly practical is the location relative to Cirencester, just a short drive away. Cirencester serves as the main hub for the area, with a busy market place, plenty of independent shops, and some serious Roman history worth exploring. You can wander around the remains of an amphitheatre, visit the Corinium Museum, and still be back in Stratton's calm by evening if you fancy that kind of day trip. Of course, if you prefer not to venture out, the village itself is pleasant enough to simply enjoy.
The hotel also works well if you're interested in walking or exploring the wider Cotswolds countryside. You can reach rolling hills and other villages across the region without needing to pack up and move on, which means you can base yourself here and take trips out as the mood takes you. Lime offers comfortable, stylish rooms that serve as a good anchor point for discovering this part of the Cotswolds, whether you want to stay local or range a bit further.
