Dormy House Hotel, The Cotswolds
If you’re seeking a relaxing rural retreat in the heart of some of Britain’s most picturesque countryside, Dormy House will not leave you disappointed. Set within a 17th century farmhouse with splendid views across the Cotswolds, this elegant hotel and spa is full of stylish country charm. Boasting cosy corners, log fires, and luxuriously comfortable interiors, there is no better place from which to explore the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty that is the north Cotswolds.
LOCATION
Dormy House is perched at the top of Willersey Hill, high above the honey-coloured stone village of Broadway, a classic Cotswold market town perfect for antique hunting and boutique browsing. The hotel is superbly located for enjoying the many attractions that the Cotswolds have to offer. Discover one of Britain’s best-known literary heritage sites, Shakespeare’s Stratford-upon-Avon, or pay a visit to Cheltenham’s prestigious race course, both only a 25 minute drive away. Lose yourself in the spectacular gardens of Hidcote Manor, or escape to the outdoors on any number of walks through the woodlands, hills, fields and villages of the beautiful British countryside on the hotel’s doorstep. Drive to Dormy House from Birmingham Airport in an hour, or catch a train from London Paddington to Moreton-in-Marsh, a 15 minute drive away.
YOUR ROOM
Each of the 38 rooms and suites in this carefully converted farmhouse complex emanate country charm and have been individually furnished to provide cosy comfort. Choose from individual rooms in a variety of sizes, each with modern bathrooms, and the option of an extravagant four-poster bed, or opt for one of the hotel’s more spacious suites. For ultimate privacy and indulgence, stay in Rose Cottage, a traditional Cotswold cottage with its own private hot tub and courtyard.
