LUXURY COUNTRY HOUSE HOTEL IN THE HEART OF THE COTSWOLDS

Bibury Court Country House Hotel is on the edge of picturesque Bibury in the Cotswolds, which William Morris described as "the most beautiful village in England."

The hotel offers the best of all worlds - the perfect refuge from the high-speed pressures of city life, a wonderfully romantic hideaway, a great base for leisurely walks in the glorious countryside and an idyllic place for families. Only seven miles from the historic market town of Cirencester, the quintessentially English honey-stone country house dating from Tudor times is brimming with history and charm.

Bibury Court was built in 1633 when Sir Thomas Sackville constructed the main part of the building. Sir Thomas was a 'knight and gentleman-usher in dailie waiting to the King', James 1. Charles II was reputed to have visited the house when he attended the Bibury Races.

Nowadays, Bibury Court is a privately owned hotel offering a haven of tranquillity to discerning guests, who can take time to relax besides the crackling log fire in the grand oak-panelled drawing room, enjoy cream teas in the conservatory, or simply retreat to the peace and quiet of the spacious, antique-strewn bedrooms.

Below is the review by independent reviewer, Tom Bell, for the Alastair Sawday's guide Special Places to Stay:

"A Jacobean mansion that stands next to the church in one of Gloucestershire's loveliest villages. The six-acre garden is reason enough to come; it's utterly English, with croquet on the lawn, clipped yew hedges, a rose arbour flanked by beds of lavender and the serene river Coln ambling past on one side. You can fish from its banks or follow the footpath into glorious countryside; just wonderful.

A very friendly place, grand, but not stuffy. There's a panelled drawing room for afternoon teas, a conservatory for indulgent breakfasts and a smart dining room for serious dinners; in summer, life spills out onto the stone terrace for sundowners in the scented garden. Antiques are scattered about: oak chests, mahogany dressers, writing desks and oil paintings by the score.

A refurbishment is underway to remove all trace of the 1980s, but it wouldn't matter if it wasn't; what wins here is the relaxed atmosphere and the kind staff. Bedrooms tend to be large, with mullioned windows, old radiators, parkland views, crisp linen, the odd four-poster and a grand piano in the suite."
