Nearby motor racing at Castle Combe circuit

Guestbook

'I just wanted to let you know how thrilled the entire family is with this destination. It is truly spectacular'
'It’s hard to imagine anywhere else that’s 90 minutes from London that has the Mead Cottage/Manor House/Castle Combe ambience'

Smith tip

How to burn some rubber: Follow in the tyre tracks of Stirling Moss at the Castle Combe racing circuit. There are a series of track days throughout the year when you can thrash your car round the circuit or take to the tarmac in a Formula Ford racing car. Alternatively, let a highly-trained maniac scare the life out of you when you're a passenger in a Ferrari, Lotus or Subaru Impreza. You even get a certificate (of insanity?) at the end.

Mead Cottage

Cotswolds, United Kingdom[view map]

Style
Soft tone stone
Setting
Classic Cotswolds

Set in the heart of the timeless, tranquil village of Castle Combe, the exterior of Mead Cottage projects an image of the quintessential Cotswolds. Step inside, however, and you’ll find that the warm, honey-coloured stonework and ancient timbers have been skilfully blended with the chicest of contemporary interiors. With only two double bedrooms, the house is ideal for an intimate escape in splendid, rural surroundings. If you don’t want to lift a finger, Mead Cottage’s location within the immaculate grounds of the Manor House Hotel means you can order your pick of the room service menu.

Guests at the cottage can benefit from hotel rates for the Manor House’s beautiful golf course.
