Where are the Cotswolds and how do I get there?<\/span><\/h2>\n

In south-central England, the Cotswolds span across six counties, mainly Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire. The region is famous for rolling hills, medieval towns and timeless charm. And thanks to our range of flights, getting there is easy too.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t

Bristol Airport<\/span><\/h3>\n

Ideally located for the southern Cotswolds, including Castle Combe and Cirencester. You can fly to Bristol Airport from <\/span>Dublin<\/span><\/a> or <\/span>Cork<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t

Birmingham Airport<\/span><\/h3>\n

Perfect for accessing northern villages like Chipping Campden and Broadway. Find flights to Birmingham from <\/span>Dublin Airport<\/span><\/a> or <\/span>Belfast City Airport<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t

London Heathrow<\/span><\/h3>\n

A great starting point for exploring the eastern edges of the Cotswold, like Burford. And it\u2019s easily accessible from Ireland, with routes from <\/span>Dublin<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Cork<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Shannon<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Knock<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t

Get a set of wheels<\/span><\/h3>\n

When you land, hop in a <\/span>rental car <\/span><\/a>to explore the winding lanes and hidden gems of your Cotswolds long weekend at your own pace.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t

Where to stay<\/span><\/h2>\n

There are so many amazing places to stay across the Cotswolds. Here\u2019s just a flavour of what you can expect\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

Thyme, Southrop<\/span><\/h3>\n

Thyme<\/span><\/a> is a restored historic manor and farm estate in Glostershire. It\u2019s laidback luxury with lots of lovely activities to do on your Cotswold long weekend. There\u2019s a fabulous spa, a cookery school, floristry classes and beautifully decorated bedrooms.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Fish Hotel, Broadway<\/span><\/h3>\n

Looking for something a little more adventurous? Check out <\/span>The Fish Hotel <\/span><\/a>in Worcestershire. Head here for <\/span>\u201cHilly Huts\u201d <\/span><\/a>and <\/span>luxury treehouses<\/span><\/a>. It\u2019s fun, stylish and perfect if you want to feel immersed in nature without sacrificing a great night\u2019s sleep.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Porch House, Stow-on-the-Wold<\/span><\/h3>\n

If you\u2019d rather stay in a town, <\/span>The Porch House<\/span><\/a> is a very good choice. At over 1,000 years in business, it also claims to be England\u2019s oldest Inn! Nestled in the heart of Gloucestershire’s bustling Stow-on-the-Wold market town, it\u2019s full of crooked beams, roaring fires and cosy rooms.<\/span><\/p>\n

Your Cotswolds long weekend itinerary<\/span><\/h2>\n

Day 1: Towering views and beautiful gardens<\/span><\/h3>\n

Start your journey in the northern village of Broadway, also known as the Jewel of the Cotswolds. Hike or drive up to the quirky 18th century <\/span>Broadway Tower<\/span><\/a> and on a clear day, you can see 16 counties from here!<\/span><\/p>\n

After you\u2019ve worked up an appetite, go for lunch at the historic <\/span>Lygon Arms<\/span><\/a> where Charles I and Oliver Cromwell both reportedly stayed. Choose from the Grill or the Tavern restaurants, with both menus created by celebrity chef James Martin.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fill your afternoon with flowers at <\/span>Hidcote Manor Garden<\/span><\/a>, an Arts and Crafts-inspired masterpiece adored for its intricate outdoor rooms and collection of rare plants.<\/span><\/p>\n

Day 2: Key sights and riverside strolls<\/span><\/h3>\n

The second day of your Cotswolds long weekend is a celebration of the regions\u2019 most famous spots.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the morning, explore Stow-on-the-Wold and take a look at the quirky north door of St. Edward\u2019s Church, flanked by ancient yew trees. This magical sight is said to have inspired parts of J.R.R. Tolkien\u2019s Lord of the Rings.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then drive to Bourton-on-the-Water, nicknamed the Venice of the Cotswolds due to its pretty stone bridges crossing the River Windrush. When you\u2019re here, check out the <\/span>Model Village<\/span><\/a>, where the village itself is scaled down to 1\/9th of its original size.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite the alarming name, the nearby village of Lower Slaughter is one of the most beautiful places in the area. Wander over and don\u2019t forget to take a photo of this peaceful scene.<\/span><\/p>\n

After all that sightseeing, you\u2019re going to need a hearty meal. <\/span>The Old Stocks <\/span><\/a>in Stow delivers that in spades, with twists on British classics and, of course, pints on tap.<\/span><\/p>\n

Day 3: Roman history and picture-perfect streets<\/span><\/h3>\n

Finish off your trip by heading south towards the capital of the Cotswolds, Cirencester. You’ll get a warm welcome at the Corinium Museum<\/a>\u00a0where you’ll see the story of the Cotswolds unfold in prehistoric artefacts, Roman mosaics and objects from recent history too.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then for a breath of fresh air, wander through the vast <\/span>Cirencester Park<\/span><\/a> to soak up a little nature.<\/span><\/p>\n

Daylesford Farm near Kingham is a must-visit if you\u2019re a foodie. It\u2019s got a <\/span>range of restaurants on-site<\/span><\/a> to suit your mood and appetite and they all hold the Michelin Green Star. Before you go, don\u2019t forget to visit their beautiful farmshop.<\/span><\/p>\n

No Cotswolds long weekend is complete without a visit to Bibury. Walk along Arlington Row, a line of 14th-century weavers\u2019 cottages that is so iconic it appears on the inside cover of British passports! If you\u2019ve got a little time, swing by Castle Combe. Often voted the prettiest village in England, it\u2019s been used as a filming location for everything from Downtown Abbey to War Horse.<\/span><\/p>\n

Final tips for your Cotswolds long weekend<\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t

Book ahead<\/span><\/h3>\n

The best gastro pubs and hotels fill up weeks in advance, especially during sumer and bank holidays.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t

Bring comfy shoes<\/span><\/h3>\n

Even if you\u2019re not a serious hiker, you\u2019ll want a good pair of walking shoes for the cobblestone streets and hilly village trails.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t

Mix and match flights<\/span><\/h3>\n

Plan your trip in advance and decide what airports make the most sense for your Cotswold long weekend.<\/span><\/p>\n

Maybe fly into one airport and home from another to make the most of flight times or explore different parts of the Cotswolds? Or perhaps you\u2019ll keep it simple and fly in and out of the same location?<\/span><\/p>\n

With flights to Bristol, Birmingham and London Heathrow, we make it easy to explore the Cotswolds your way.<\/span><\/p>\n
