Riverside House Hotel

You get the quietness of a village setting combined with immediate access to Cirencester's amenities – the larger market town is practically next door. The hotel's riverside location provides a pleasant backdrop if you want to settle in with a walk along the water.

From here, exploring the Cotswolds becomes straightforward. Stratton itself is worth a wander, and Cirencester is right there whenever you want it. The town rewards a visit with the Corinium Museum, where you can explore Roman history, the remains of the amphitheatre, and the impressive parish church. The Abbey Grounds offer a pleasant open space to spend time in. The location works well as a base for venturing further too – you're positioned nicely to reach the region's other villages and landscapes, whether you're driving, walking, or cycling. It's the sort of place that lets you experience the character of the Cotswolds without feeling isolated from the practical conveniences of town life.
