HOMEGROWN IN THE COTSWOLDS |
In the Cotswolds, we’re increasingly becoming known for our excellent locally grown produce. Whether you live here, are visiting just for the day or staying for longer, there are ways for you to enjoy great Cotswold produce. |
Shopping at farmers markets is a great way to support local growers and local independents. When you buy from a local grower, you’re helping to support their livelihoods and contribute to the local economy.
When you buy locally grown fare at a farmers market, you have your pick at the freshest seasonal produce, fresher than what you will find in your local supermarket. |

OUR EXPERIENCES IN THE COTSWOLDS |
|
|
|
OUR VISIT TO THE ROLLRIGHT STONES |
We set off on a crisp January morning, the air biting with a frosty chill. Our destination: The Rollright Stones.
This impressive arrangement of weathered boulders is mesmerising and impressive. You can get right up close and personal, walk around each individual stone, make friends with the resident robins, and fully enjoy being immersed in the history of this ancient site. |

OUR UNFORGETTABLE STAY AT THORNBURY CASTLE |
Think grand fireplaces, sprawling grounds, whispering tales of a bygone era, wonderful culinary experiences, and a suite so luxurious it would have pleased Henry VIII himself. |

|
OUR LOVELY GETAWAY AT HOBURNE COTSWOLD |
We stayed in in a luxurious dog-friendly static caravan, a spacious two-bedroom, two-bathroom home with a fully equipped kitchen, living room, hallway, and a large decking area. The highlight was the enormous hot tub – we could have invited 6 friends to join us in there and still had space to wiggle our toes. |

A MEMORABLE STAY AT BURLEIGH COURT |
Our dinner was a most memorable one. From the seriously delicious food to the cosy and warm atmosphere, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. |

A SPECTACULAR DINING & SPA RETREAT AT THE GREENWAY |
We were there for a little getaway and hoped to be in for a treat… we stepped into the hotel and were met by a friendly smile at reception, a warm atmosphere, and found the place all decked out for Christmas, and then we knew for sure that we would be. |

|
ALFRESCO DINING AT ELLENBOROUGH PARK |
The best in service and comfort is a given at Ellenborough Park, and while moving everything inside out, they have not skipped a beat in service and comfort levels.
We were greeted warmly, and all members of staff were lovely and super professional, even though their walk from the kitchen to tables was four times longer than normal, and a new part of their job was now keeping guests warm with a steady flow of blankets and fire heaters. |

THE COTSWOLDS ALSO THE COTSWOLDS |
When you plan a trip or a visit to anywhere, do you ever think beyond the well-known landmarks or places of interest? If you do, and then mix what you find with the more well-known places to go, chances are you will have a more authentic experience of the area you’re visiting.
The Cotswolds is one of the most wonderful places to go in the world (yes, yes, we’re biased, but that doesn’t mean we’re wrong) and when you come here, you should definitely do some of the things we’re known for, but by venturing off the beaten path, exploring places and activities not found in the “Top 10 Things to do in the Cotswolds” lists you find everywhere online, and even engaging with the local community, you’ll uncover an even greater Cotswolds… you’ll truly connect with the heart and soul of this vibrant and exciting Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. |
