Bath, Cotswolds
 
Heading to UK this Sunday. Any suggestions for a charming inn/hotel/B&B in the Bath area. We will have a car so plan to spend 1.5 days walking around Bath and another 1.5 days driving through the Cotswolds. Thanks!

Can't help much w/o knowing your budget.

couple of comments - a car can be a real pain in Bath so you need to find a place that offers parking.

and - I'd spend less time in Bath and more in the Cotswolds. Bath is great but it is small and you can see/do it in one day. The Cotswolds, on the other hand, is a large region w/ lots to see and slow travel. It is an area where one needs to get out of the car and walk. 1+ day really doesn't cut it. I'd plan 1 full day/night in Bath and then take off for the Cotswolds first thing the next morning.

Budget is about us$150 or so per night. Any thoughts about picking a spot to stay for two nights in between Bath and Stow, with a total of 3 1/2 days total to drive around the area?

Tracey runs a nice farmhouse B&B on W edge of Bath. Take road off to S of Bristol Rd, towards Corston. The B&B is immediately on your L. The property's landlord is Prince Charles. Tracey is very hospitable and there's parking and a quiet rural setting.
