In a Tudor manor house in the Cotswolds just across from Cheltenham Racecourse, this hotel with spa and 90 acres of grounds is both family and dog-friendly.

Between town and racecourse in a conservation area close to Pittville Park, Nirav Sheth's friendly hotel is in a fine 1830s stone mansion and offers boutique-style bedrooms plus a good breakfast served in a hand-painted dining room.

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

In a gem of a Cotswold town, with its green verges, galleries and tea shops, a honey-stone house is home to this first-class restaurant-with-rooms

Set in a sprawling, historic and honey-stone building with tall chimneys and leaded windows, this hotel offers grand rooms and antiques along with a thoroughly modern spa, a bistro-style menu in the barrel-vaulted Grill by James Martin, plus real ales, bar snacks and small plates at Tavern.

It might look traditional on the outside, but behind the exterior of this 17th-century stone building on the High Street, King of retail George Davies has transformed interiors to blend contemporary chic and original features, with attention to every detail, while James Wilson's cooking makes for a truly memorable meal.

An affordable, friendly alternative to Broadway's historic hotels, this bow-windowed 16th-century honeyed-stone B&B has cottage-style bedrooms, a cosy sitting room with log burner, a sunny rear garden where you might sit with a drink from the honesty bar, and a flagstone-floored parlour where you can breakfast on home-baked breads and smoothies.

More resort than hotel, this child-friendly, dog-friendly place of escape on the Farncombe estate, on a hill above Broadway, offers a wide choice of accommodation, from chic bedrooms to treehouses and shepherds' huts, with bar/lounges, fine-dining restaurant and a wide range of activities on site.
