Tea and cake await new arrivals at this well-run B&B, with spotless bedrooms in a Victorian former coach house set around a courtyard, each with its own entrance, and a bright little breakfast room

Amid water-meadow pasture, this foodie restaurant with beautifully presented rooms and a cookery school are spread across an ancient, timber-frame farmhouse and converted outbuildings.

Without and within, this dog-friendly, family-friendly, extended 19th-century pub is a mix of traditional and modern, with a relaxed vibe, varied menus and smart, unstuffy bedrooms.

It has undergone a lavish makeover, with quirky and extravagant interiors and a botanically inspired spa, but this 18th-century mansion in parkland is a welcoming hotel for families and their four-legged friends.

This beautifully proportioned Queen Anne-style mansion, in a hamlet between the Cotswolds and the Mendip hills, is as traditional as its owner, Baba Hine, who has been at the helm for more than 46 years.

Behind the unmissable Tudor façade of this former coaching inn, you will find bedrooms blending modern comforts with original features, delightful staff, imaginative sharing plates and brasserie dishes in the restaurant and bar.

A beautiful, romantic and historic B&B in parkland, this 14th-century monastic manor house, rich in medieval detail and furnished with antiques, once counted Mark Twain, Claude Monet, Edward Elgar and Oscar Wilde among its house guests.

With its wonky roofline, leaded windows, honeyed stone and distinctive black-and-white Tudor wing, this family-run hotel overlooks the green of a much-photographed, quintessential Cotswold village.
