Wyck Hill House Hotel & Spa

This converted country house has been thoughtfully updated with modern comforts while keeping its traditional character intact. The spa offers treatments and a swimming pool if you fancy some proper relaxation, and the grounds give you plenty of space to take a walk and clear your head, particularly from the slightly elevated position where you'll find views stretching across the countryside.

You can eat on site without having to venture far, which is convenient after a long day. The real advantage of staying here is flexibility. Stow-on-the-Wold is only a short drive away when you want to browse its antique shops, pop into traditional pubs, or explore independent boutiques. You're equally well positioned for Bourton-on-the-Water, where the river running through the village attracts plenty of visitors, or Moreton-in-Marsh if you're interested in catching one of the regular markets. Whether you prefer spending time on the hotel grounds unwinding or using the place as a springboard for getting out and about, the location serves you well.
