THE PIG – in the Cotswolds

Hotel

Europe, England

From $335

THE PIG – in the Cotswolds occupies Barnsley House, a Grade II-listed 17th-century manor of honey-coloured stone in the village of Barnsley, four miles from Cirencester. It was once the home of Rosemary Verey, and the Arts and Crafts gardens she laid out here, her first, still frame the house with a laburnum walk, a knot garden, potagers and a Tuscan temple. Twenty-four rooms are spread across the main house, the stable yard, the potting shed and a secret garden, ranging from small doubles to garden hideaways with freestanding tubs. The restaurant cooks from a 25-mile menu built around the kitchen garden, the hotel’s own Village Pub sits across the lane, and a small spa with a sauna and an outdoor hydrotherapy pool is tucked at the end of a garden path.

Thyme

Hotel

Europe, England

From $560

Thyme is a boutique hotel set within Southrop Manor, a restored 17th-century estate on the quiet southern edge of the Cotswolds. Its 31 bedrooms are spread across stone farmhouses, cottages and barns, each one decorated differently, many with rolltop baths and botanical wallpapers. The estate runs on its own produce, and most of what reaches the table at the Ox Barn restaurant comes from the farm and kitchen garden next door, with The Swan, the village pub, as a more casual option. Days can include a class at the cookery school, a treatment at the Meadow Spa, a swim in the spring-fed pool in summer, or a long walk through fields of grazing sheep toward the Thames.
