THE PIG-in the Cotswolds

Set in the honey-stone village of Barnsley, four miles from Cirencester, THE PIG-in the Cotswolds occupies a Grade II-listed 17th-century country house wrapped in Arts and Crafts-style gardens designed by Rosemary Verey. The mood is rural and lived-in, with fireside lounges and small corners made for slowing down after a day on Cotswold lanes. Bedrooms are individual and spread through the house and grounds, finished in soft florals and heritage details, with options such as small doubles, garden-view terraces and rooms with freestanding baths or monsoon showers. Dining follows the hotel’s “25-mile” approach, with seasonal plates overlooking the gardens and plenty drawn from the Kitchen Garden. A separate village pub across the road serves British classics with local ales. The Fieldhouse Spa sits among orchards and meadows for restorative treatments between walks and market-town browsing.
