This bed-and-breakfast in Stratton puts you right on the edge of Cirencester with genuinely comfortable rooms and a relaxed atmosphere that feels more like staying with friends than checking into a hotel.
Your hosts know the area well and are usually keen to point you towards the best local spots, and you'll start each day with a proper homemade breakfast.
Stratton itself is a proper Cotswold village with quiet lanes ideal for a gentle wander, but the real advantage is your proximity to Cirencester, often called the Capital of the Cotswolds. The town has plenty to explore: the Corinium Museum tells the story of substantial Roman settlement here, there are peaceful Abbey Grounds for a stroll, and you'll find independent shops and a weekly market worth browsing. From this base, you're well-positioned to venture into the wider Cotswolds landscape with its rolling hills and distinctive market towns. The whole region's architecture reflects its medieval wool trade wealth, layered over an even older Roman past. Whether you're heading out for walks, seeking good local restaurants, or simply absorbing the character of this part of England, The Ivy House gives you a comfortable place to settle into each evening without being too remote from the action.
