The Lygon Arms

The building is Grade II* listed, which reflects its genuine architectural importance—it's a proper piece of history with stone walls and period character that speaks to the area's heritage.

You can stay overnight and wake to views of Broadway's golden stone high street, or simply drop in for a meal in one of the dining spaces, which blend traditional Cotswolds atmosphere with modern food. Even without booking a room, the public areas are worth exploring. There's real character in the old coaching inn layout, with various rooms and corners that show how the building has evolved over centuries of operation.

Broadway itself is excellent for exploring on foot, with independent shops, galleries, and restaurants within easy walking distance. The village is well positioned for venturing further afield too. Chipping Campden and Moreton-in-Marsh are close enough that you could base yourself here for day trips, or treat it as a stopping point on a larger journey through the region. The hotel captures the same genuine appeal that makes the village worth visiting—nothing feels forced about either one. Whether you're staying or just passing through, it's the kind of place that reminds you why the Cotswolds draws people back time and again.
