Where to stay in the Cotswolds?
<BR>I have read millions of great posts on places to stay in the Cotswolds but was just wondering how you all found out about them. Is there a comprehensive website which lists accommodation at pubs, B & B's etc.?<BR>Has anyone stayed at The Bell Inn in the village of Willersey which apparently is about a mile away from Broadway.

Hi Toni...I was (and am) a little psycho about choosing places to stay. I make a list of every thing recommended in guidebooks (usually just the major ones...rick steve's, etc) and then look up as much info about them online as i can find. I also post for personal recommendations-not websites or search engines for b&b's-they are a dime a dozen, but for PERSONAL recommendations. then look up all the info on them. Then I stress about it a little while and finally decide on one! I do this b/c we have made one trip overseas (in March) and are planning a second one in March 2003 and b/c we don't get to do this often-I want it to be perfect. Our trip this March was just that. We stayed in Chipping Campden at the Kettlehouse-a Rick Steves recommendation-unfortunalety the owners have sold and it is no longer a b&b establishment. This was a very long reply and probably TMI! oh well!

<BR>Hi Ani,<BR><BR>Sounds like we are two peas in a pod!<BR>I do exactly the same thing. I travelled for four years, twenty years ago and haven't been to Europe since. My husband hasn't been at all, soooo everthing has to be perfect, right? As you say, a girl can never do too much <BR>research. I normally look for a website, hopefully see something I like, then search for personal opinions. My family thinks I'm obsessive.<BR>I'll be looking forward to your trip <BR>report next year Ani. We are going for our big trip next May for two months. Probably TMI from me too, oh well!<BR>
