Cotswolds Weekend Breaks

With many people struggling in the recession holidays in England are becoming more popular.   The beautiful Cotswolds offer one popular holiday venue, and although many people can’t afford a 2 week holiday, a Cotswolds weekend break is an ideal time and place to relax and recharge your batteries.

The Cotswolds is an area of middle England which includes parts of Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire.  Cirencester, Chipping Cambden, Stow on the Wold, Chipping Norton and Burford are all included, and the famous Cotswolds Water Park are all big tourist draws.

The Cotswolds is famous for its sandstone buildings.  This stone is a honey colour, and most buildings have been made out of this to give a charming and quintessentially English environment.  What is more appealing to most people though is the relaxing pace of life.

You don’t find as many chain stores in the Cotswolds, which is a break from the norm.  Instead you will find lots of independent shops, offering a wide variety of crafts, collectables, souvenirs, tempting food stuffs, art and so on and so on.

Finding somewhere to eat or drink is not a problem either.  You can have a cup of tea in one of the beautiful tea rooms, or something stronger in one of the old English pubs.  You can also eat at one of the cafes for a quick snack or enjoy a 3 course meal in one of the high end restaurants.

For accommodation on your Cotswolds weekend break there are also options available.  There are larger hotel chains of course, but if you are going to such a beautiful part of the country such as the Cotswolds, why stay in such a uniform place.   There are of course small B and B’s, but they cannot offer the full range of services a Hotel can.  So how about a hotel that offers Cotswolds weekend breaks – in the form of special packages but lets you use all of their facilities?  The Crown of Crucis - Cotswold Country Hotel is well situated for a Cotswolds weekend break - why not call them on 01285 851806 to see what they have on offer, or visit their site here.

Recenty we found an article someone has writen mentioning the Crown of Crucis.  It’s called Costwolds luxury hotels and you can find it by clicking here - “Cotswolds Luxury Hotels“ .

B&B in the Cotswolds at The Crown of Crucis, one of the Luxury Cotswolds Hotels.   A warm welcome will await you at all times of year whether you are there for one night or for a Cotswolds Holiday.

The Crown is a 16^th Century inn which has held on to its charm, largely thanks being with the same owners for 20 years.  All of the modern conveniences have been added though!

All of their comfortable bedrooms are invitingly furnished in an elegant country house style.  All 25 en-suite rooms have full facilities with bath and shower and standard twin or double beds and surround the continental style courtyard and many overlook the stream and cricket pitch. 

The b&b Cotswold Crown of Crucis is found in a beautiful village setting in the South Cotswolds near to Cirencester.  For the History buffs among you this used to be know as Corinium in Roman times, so as you can imagine, there is plenty of history in the area.

To b&b in the Cotswolds is to experience the natural beauty of the area.  The area is famous for its honey coloured stone which has been used to make most of the building ins the area. 

There are many places to visit, the Crown of Crucis hotel is only a few minutes away from the Cotswolds water park, and you can easily reach places like Bourton on the Water, Stow on the Wold and Chipping Campden.

The hotel makes a great Cotswold b&b being situated a mere 15 minutes from the motorways, and yet is in a beautifully peaceful setting, where you can hear the Ampney Brook and perhaps some birdsong – and not much else.

Cotswolds bed and breakfast accomodations are plentiful because it is such a tourist area.  Finding the right one is difficult as like anything else standards vary.  So its good to get some ideas before you start your Cotswolds holiday.

A Cotswold B&B should live up to the expectation created by the beautiful surroundings of the Cotswolds.   You have fantastic place like Chipping Campden, Bourton on the Water and Stow on the Wolds.  All of these quaint little places are there to be explored while you relax from your chosen accomodation.

There are many fine bed and breakfast accommodations in the Cotswolds, many run by people in their own home.  This gives a you a close familiar experience but can be rather too intimate for some, and these small b&bs are limited to the services they can offer.  Even car parking can be a hassle which you don’t need on holiday.

That’s why many travellers on a Cotswolds holiday or weekend break will book one of the superb country house hotels such as the historic Crown of Crucis Hotel, situated near Cirencester with lots of history, fantastic restaurant and old beams in the bar, the Rectory Hotel, Cotswold Country House Hotel and the Four Pillars are all the sort of places that add to your break.

Cotswolds Hotel - The Crown of Crucis

All in all of course, you want your Cotswold b&b to provide a good base to explore from but also to relax in if you so choose – a perfect holiday means different things to different people and of course – your mood can change once you are there, so it’s good to be free to change your mind with a bar on offer with traditional Cotswold pub food available if that’s what takes your fancy, or a fine dining restaurant if you want to treat yourself.  Relax in the lounge, or bar, or your room – you decide – it’s all on offer.

Ever been to the Cotswolds?   Its a beauftiful place and I recommend it, but a search on the Internet for Cotswolds luxury hotels reveals a dazzling choice of hotels, inns and b&bs to choose from.  It is difficult to know where to stay if you are looking for that special place to stay where you get what you want from your stay.

The Cotswolds offer not only luxury hotels, but luxurious scenery and plenty of fresh air and places to explore.  The Cotswolds has many small villages such as Burford and Castle Combe and whilst they are all different, they are all built from the same limestone keeping them all as attractive as each other.   The Cotswolds really do make the perfect place for a weekend break in a luxury hotel.

If you are interested in visiting the area then you are going for the scenery, and I can guess at what your idea of a Cotswolds luxury hotel is.  Picture the scene.   You travel by car and have all the stress of the traffic, but it eases as you near your hotel and you can start to relax.

You pull into the car park – plenty of room there, and go to check in.  You are dealt with promptly, but politely and friendly.   You are shown to your elegant country house style room and your shoulders start to drop.  A quick check of the view reveals open space, perhaps a stream and gentle bird song.  This hotel offers real luxury alright.

After freshening up its time for dinner in the restaurant.  The ambience is informal and friendly – and the food is to die for.  After all, the hotel has won awards, with a dedicated team of chefs determined to offer only the freshest, tastiest seasonal food.

As you relax in the bar with your favourite tipple, perhaps in front of a log fire if it’s winter, or perhaps when there’s a nip in the air, you almost feel like you’re in another world, and you decide to try one of the bar meals the next day, if there’s room after a full breakfast that morning of course.

The Crown of Crucis offers all the above and much more.  Visit the official website at Cotswolds Country Hotel or call us on 01285 851806 now to find out more.
