1. Fine Dining In The Cotswolds
Despite being an idyllic country location (in fact it is of5icially an “Area of Outstanding
Natural Beauty”) the Cotswolds has a good range of options for dining out in some
outstanding restaurants.
For example, Calcot Manor near Tetbury is a beautiful contemporary country house hotel
that features two superb restaurants. The Conservatory is a formal dining venue with
views of the Cotswold countryside, and the Gumstool Inn is a more relaxed environment
where you can enjoy good quality traditional British pub food. The food at the
Conservatory restaurant is by acclaimed caterers William’s Kitchen, who regularly cater
for Royal events and personally cater for Prince Charles at his Highgrove estate.
Lords of the Manor near Bourton-­‐on-­‐the-­‐Water is a former 17th Century rectory and
retains much of its old charm. It’s located in over 8 acres of beautiful countryside and
private gardens in the popular area of the north Cotswolds. The 26-­‐bedroom hotel has
undergone a £1.5 million revamp in the last year and the restaurant has just won a
coveted Michelin star -­‐ one of the highest accolades in British cuisine! The menu offers a
selection of classic French food with most ingredients sourced from local or regional
suppliers. The restaurant is also known for its extensive wine selection, with wine
tasting taking place before most evening sittings, so that the guests can try wines before
their dinner.
The Sixteen58 Restaurant at Lower Slaughter Manor is an extremely modern, stylish
venue. The Manor won the British Travel Awards’ Hotel Chain of the Year award for 2009
and the restaurant is as chic as you can get outside London, with chocolate brown walls,
5ine crystal glassware and Caribbean glass chandeliers. The menu features primarily
modern British cuisine and the restaurant can accommodate all types of parties -­‐ from
friends stopping by for afternoon tea to intimate wedding receptions in the private
dining room.
The Corse Lawn hotel in Corse, is a classic English hotel that features nineteen beautiful
bedrooms, all individually furnished with fabulous antiques. There is a restaurant and
bistro on site, serving classic British food and wines from the owners’ extensive cellar.
The property has been owned by the Hine family for over 30 years and is the only place
in the British Isles where you’re able to enjoy the family’s 5ine Hine cognacs!

2. These restaurants and bistros are places to 5ind some of the best food available in the
Cotswolds. People even travel out from London to enjoy the award-­‐winning cuisine of
many of these restaurants in their beautiful and unspoiled surroundings.
Other venues to explore could include Charingworth Manor in Chipping Campden, the
Cotswolds88hotel in Painswick and the Manor House Hotel at Castle Combe.
Of course, if you are looking for a less fancy establishment, the Cotswolds is home to
many excellent British pubs, inns and tea rooms that serve all types of food! For food-­‐
lovers, the Cotswolds is an excellent place to 5ind a wide variety of menus to tempt your
palate, with everything from the simplest food in traditional surroundings, to the award-­‐
winning cuisine in the 5inest of restaurants!
