I'm also looking for some hotel suggestions for our trip to the Cotswolds and also for London. We are staying at Gravetye Manor near Gatwick for a couple of nights, but need a nice, but preferably less expensive place to stay in the Cotswolds and London. Any tips would be appreciated.

How much is Gravetye Manor? When are you goin & for how long?

you'll be bound ot find something.
hope it helps

first - ignore travelaxe - he is advertising his own rather lame booking site.

Now, about your questions-- Give us a number. "less expensive" doesn't tell us much.

There are <b>MANY</b> threads about hotels in London w/ prices, descriptions, recommendations, etc. Have you been before? What area of London do you want? Do you have a specific village or area you want in the Cotswolds?

There are literally hundreds of places to choose from - so give us a &pound; or $ or &euro; amount . . . . . .

In the Cotswolds I'd stay in a B&amp;B. It's less expensive and more friendly. Look them up at www.theaa.com or www.smoothhound.com. Will you have a car? That's best for the Cotswolds.

I second Mimar's suggestion about staying in a Cotswolds B&amp;B. My own experience staying in one there was very enjoyable, and I would've stayed at a B&amp;B for a hotel in that lovely part of England anytime.
