Once known as Charingworth Manor, Hyll Hotel has had quite the modern makeover. Presiding over a patchwork of valleys that make up Gloucestershire, this 26-key hotel has all the trappings of a serene stay: fire-warmed living areas, low-lit Scandi-style rooms and a restaurant that proudly spotlights local produce. Should the lure of the Cotswolds prove irresistible, in-room guidebooks have curated suggestions for those who may manage to move from their butter-soft bed.

Need to know

Rooms

26, including two suites.

Check–Out

11am, and check-in is at 3pm. Both are flexible, on request and subject to availability.

More details

Rates include buffet and à la carte breakfast.

Also

There are a handful of rooms on the ground floor that are accessible for wheelchair users, but uneven paving and a historic design in the Manor House makes parts of Hyll harder to reach.

At the hotel

Le Chameau wellies, raincoats, books and bikes to borrow; living areas and free WiFi throughout. In rooms: smart TV, minibar, tea- and coffee-making kit, free bottled water, bathrobes, slippers, Dyson hairdryer and Verden bath products.

Our favourite rooms

Deciding between the Manor House or Courtyard forms the foundation of your choice. The former lends itself to a more traditional side of the Cotswolds, with original features and brighter colour schemes; while the latter gives off a moodier, Scandi-like feel with contemporary furnishings. Our preference lies with the Courtyard Garden Room for its soothing hues and private alfresco space.

Spa

There’s no dedicated spa here, but staff will be happy to arrange an in-room treatment as long as they’ve been given 48 hours’ notice. Your soothing options include a 60-minute full-body ritual or a 45-minute facial, both using a healing combination of Verden and Votary products.

Packing tips

Your hiking boots and cosiest pair of slippers — both will get good use here.

Also

Hyll has collaborated with Stow’s independent Borzoi Bookshop to fill its lounge with a hand-picked selection of novels — some old, some new, but all with a personalised note explaining why they were chosen.

Pet‐friendly

Your pup is welcome to accompany you in any of the four Courtyard Garden Rooms for £30 each. They'll be provided with a bowl, bed and treats. See more pet-friendly hotels in Cotswolds.

Children

Welcome; there aren’t any on-site facilities for kids, but the Cotswolds has plenty of family-friendly activities.

Sustainability efforts

Hyll Hotel takes pride in its Great British surroundings and works hard to protect them. The 14th-century Manor House was carefully restored during renovations to keep original features intact, and most of the staff were hired from local towns and villages.

Food and Drink

Top Table

For a romantic evening, secure a banquette table in the corner alcove. And during the warmer months, alfresco seating comes with a side of valley views.

Dress Code

Elegant butter yellow and cream hues to stand-out against your dimly lit surroundings.

Hotel restaurant

Contemporary interiors and soft lighting may feel far from the Cotswolds at Hyll’s restaurant, but its menus are assuredly local. Head chef Mark Coleman gets his produce from Gloucestershire’s network of sustainable suppliers, adapting his menus with their crop. Breakfast features a fresh buffet, filled with homemade granola, honey from the hotel’s bees and pastries from Mark’s Cotswold Bakery, as well as moreish, made-to-order hot dishes. Lunch is a light service of salads and sandwiches; and come evening, menus offer a small number of impeccably crafted plates that put an elevated, flavourful spin on British classics (poussin with truffle and parmesan potatoes, say). 

Hotel bar

Cotswolds-crafted produce is celebrated as much in the bar as it is in the restaurant: spirits come from neighbouring distilleries (the small-batch Garden Swift Gin is a notable favourite) and beers from Hawkstone. Order tipples straight to your table, or take your sips fireside in one of the many lounges.

Last orders

Breakfast is served from 7.30am to 10am (8am to 10.30am on weekends). There’s daily afternoon tea between 2pm and 4pm, and dinner is from 6.30pm till 9pm.

Room service

Breakfast can be brought to your bed for no extra charge; but for all other meals, you’ll have to venture down to the restaurant.

Address
Hyll Hotel
Charingworth
Chipping Campden
GL55 6NS
United Kingdom

Hyll Hotel admires Gloucestershire’s valleys from its lofty vantage point in Charingworth, near Chipping Campden on the northern edge of the Cotswolds.

Planes

Bristol Airport and London Heathrow are both around two hours from the hotel by car. Gatwick is a further two and a half hours’ drive.

Trains

Staff can arrange transfers from Moreton-in-Marsh, around a 15-minute drive away, which is your nearest station for direct trains into London Paddington. It also has links to Oxford, Worcester and Hereford.

Automobiles

A car will be essential for exploring this pastoral pocket of the Cotswolds, and you’ll need one to get to the nearest town. There’s free private parking on-site.

Other

Hyll has a helipad, but you’ll need to call ahead to prebook.

Worth getting out of bed for

You’ll find a cleverly named duo of guidebooks by your bed with a host of suggestions for when you do to ‘Do Nothing’ or ‘Do Something’. Once you’ve browsed the second from bed and are ready to give in to the call of the Cotswolds, start with a wooded wander around Snugborough Mill, or take to the taled hiking routes that lace Dover’s Hill.  

Creatives will appreciate the colour-graced gardens of Hidecote Manor and the abundance of artsy workshops at Honeybourne Pottery. Make the 20-minute drive to Stow-on-the-Wold and stop in at Borzoi Bookshop, an independent seller that sits by the arched doorways of St Edward’s Church and curates Hyll’s own collection of novels. You’ll also find boutique shops, art galleries and time-honoured eateries along its streets.  

For local events, the Cidermill Theatre in Chipping Campden hosts a rotating schedule of ballet, opera and comedy shows. And the Royal Shakespeare Theatre puts on standing-ovation-worthy performances by the world-renowned writer in his birthplace, Stratford-upon-Avon.  

Local restaurants

The Ebrington Arms is your local, with an elevated menu of Great British classics and a fire-toasted setting for post-hike pints. If you’ve whiled your day away at Daylesford and are seeking sustenance beyond their in-house restaurants, make the 20-minute walk to The Fox at Oddington for wood-fired pizzas, local brews and a particularly cosseting atmosphere. Pit Kitchen was started by two friends, Adam and George, who now serve their revered, flame-cooked cuisine to adoring crowds at the Old Piggery in Todenham.  

Local cafés

Along the High Street of its namesake town, The Broadway Deli makes lingering lunches all the more tempting with its sourdough sandwiches, house-made cakes and alfresco garden setting. Otis & Belle Bakery has a similarly sapid menu, with artisanal loaves and pastries as their award-winning features. 

Local bars

More freshly pulled pints await at The Old Stocks in Stow-on-the-Wold, but if you’d rather sample the Cotswolds’ produce straight from its source, Little Oak Vineyard run tours and tastings against sweeping hillside scenes.

Anonymous review

By Mr & Mrs Smith

Every hotel featured is visited personally by members of our team, given the Smith seal of approval, and then anonymously reviewed. As soon as our reviewers have returned from this countryside crashpad in Gloucestershire and unpacked their walking poles and Borzoi books, a full account of their bucolic break will be with you. In the meantime, to whet your wanderlust, here's a quick peek inside Hyll Hotel in the Cotswolds… 

When writing about the relationship between meditation and movement, TS Eliot famously proclaimed ‘at the still point of the turning world... there the dance is.’ And at Hyll Hotel — where the storied author wrote the first of his Four Quartets — they’ve mastered that very craft. 

Set on the northern edge of the Cotswolds, this boutique hotel was once better known as Charingworth Manor. These days, its hallowed 17th-century halls have been drastically modernised into 26 minimalist, Scandi-inspired rooms that encourage slow-paced starts. Embraced by expertly manicured gardens, the original building now hosts Hyll’s season-led restaurant, wellie room and a clutch of cosseting living spaces that complement the already calming atmosphere.  

As you’ll tell from your duo of bedside booklets with suggestions on how to spend your time, doing nothing is championed. But its owners have taken to heart Eliot’s musings, balancing that languid pace with an in-depth guide that makes exploring your Gloucestershire locale equally easy.
