The enduring delight of this luxury hotel in the center of Chipping Campden is the elegant harmony with which the up-to-the-minute design and fittings blend into the setting of an 18th-century Cotswold manor house. From the swirling staircase in the entrance to the guest rooms studded with contemporary art and high-tech gadgetry, it's a winning formula. The lounges invite lingering, and the patio and spacious garden offer seclusion. The formal Juliana's Restaurant (£££££; no lunch except Sunday), where there are fixed-price menus, and the livelier and cheaper Hick's Brasserie (£££-££££) offer creative takes on English and Mediterranean dishes. Hick's is open all day and is worth a stop even if you aren't staying here.

Charming hotel in a quintessential English village perfectly situated in the Cotswolds. We enjoyed a lovely suite situated just off the beautiful gardens, The atmosphere is friendly and the rooms are filled with the details which make for a comfortable stay, including good lighting, sometimes a rarity in England. The restaurant and bar are very good although I would avoid the brasserie. We have alrady recommended this hotel to friends who are traveling there in July.
