凯尔斯博罗角酒店

Looking every inch the quintessential Cotswolds pub, The Bell Inn’s rustic charm is hard to resist with its cosy bar, impressive inglenook fireplace, stone walls and 16th-century origins. The appealing menu offers a mix of pub favourites – from a half pint of prawns to a choice of steaks – as well as restaurant-style dishes and homemade pizzas, which are all brought to the table by a friendly team. Nicely furnished bedrooms complete the picture.

Doing something different for this pretty Cotswolds town, Wild offers an interactive dining experience in the uber-stylish Bull hotel, where Banksys and Damien Hirsts adorn the walls. The restaurant occupies a purpose-built marquee in the courtyard, with guests sat around a copper-topped counter and fire pit. The personable chef cooks over the flames in front of you while demonstrating an understanding that less is often more. That means dishes where finely balanced accompaniments marry well with their prime central ingredients, such as Indonesian butter with Orkney scallops.
