The loveliest Cirencester hotels for an unforgettable trip to the Cotswolds

If you’re planning a trip to the Cotswolds, you’ll be looking for the best Cirencester hotels, since the market town is a brilliant base for exploring this photogenic corner of Britain.

TOP CIRENCESTER HOTELS

Some of the best hotels in the Cotswolds are found in Cirencester and we've selected some of our favourites for you to enjoy at any time of year, whether you're here for the surrounding Cotswold walks or to simply soak up the season in the pretty market town.

Cirencester is one of the biggest town in the Cotswolds, just 80 miles west of London and on the banks of a tributary of the Thames.

You’ll be able to visit other honey-coloured villages in the area, including Painswick, Bourton-on-the-Water and Stow-on-the-Wold – and Cirencester is also within easy reach of Cheltenham, Gloucester and Oxford. And you’ll be able to visit filming-location favourite Snowshill.

But first you’ll want to explore the capital of the Cotswolds itself. Its Roman history is showcased at the Corinium Museum, named after the Roman moniker for the town. Other highlights include Cerney House Gardens, Cirencester Park and, of course, the twice-weekly markets (held on Mondays and Fridays).

Stay for longer by checking in to a Cirencester hotel – we love Barnsley House, one of the best boutique hotels in the country, and its sister site, The Village Pub, which is as classic and cosy as it sounds.

Or book a stay at Wild Thyme & Honey, a reimagined pub on the outskirts of town, in the village of Ampney Crucis. These are our favourite hotels in Cirencester…
