No 12

Top choice in The Cotswolds


This welcoming and very central Georgian town house offers four gloriously unfussy, very private rooms kitted out with a tasteful mix of antiques and modern furnishings. Romantic room 1 has an in-room bath, while the suite has two bathrooms and overlooks the lovely garden, with extra-long beds, piles of feather pillows and splashes of red throughout. The breakfasts are superb.
