The Cotswolds: Stow-on-the-Wold and the surrounding area.

The Grapevine Hotel is the perfect base to explore the breath-taking Cotswolds.

Situated in a designated area of outstanding beauty, Stow-on-the-Wold itself is known as the antique centre of the Cotswolds. Its attractive mellow Cotswold stone houses, the ancient stocks on the green and little passage ways, date back to the days when sheep were herded through the market square in the heyday of the wool trade.

In the surrounding area, the pretty villages of Lower Slaughter and Broadway are a must, as is a visit to the market towns of Bourton-on-the-Water and Moreton-in-Marsh.

A little further a field you can visit Blenheim Palace in Woodstock, home to the Duke of Marlborough and birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill. Or you could spend a day exploring Oxford - the city of learning - with its beautiful university buildings, the Ashmolean Museum and go punting down the river past the meadows and willow trees with the spires beyond?

We can recommend many more places of interest so just ask a member of staff when you arrive or call reception now on +44 (0)1451 830 344 to speak directly with reception or email your questions to stay@thegrapevinehotel.com and we will be delighted to help.
