The Top 41 Hotels Near Moda

A honey-stone Cotswolds facade that looks like it fell off a biscuit tin hides interiors that went in a very different direction: multicolored blown-glass orbs, convex mirrors, and stained-glass eaves rooms sit alongside four dog-friendly annex rooms out back. Ten rooms total, a 30-cover tasting menu with Nordic leanings, and a wine list worth lingering over. A boutique hotel that knows exactly how strange it is, in the best possible company.

A honey-stone coaching inn on Broadway's High Street, the Lygon Arms has been putting people up for so long that Charles I once slept here. It's a full-service hotel in the heart of the Cotswolds, with a spa that leans into Victorian aesthetics without making the plumbing feel period-appropriate. The rooms and common areas carry genuine antique atmosphere, but the place wears its history lightly enough that nobody feels obliged to dress for it.

Treehouses, farmhouse cottages, and sleek mobile huts spread across a 400-acre Cotswolds estate, which gives you a sense of how committed the Fish Hotel is to defying the country-house template. The interiors skip the chintz entirely in favor of something contemporary and unfussy. There's an afternoon tea, a bar doing Hereford Angus sliders, and a seafood-focused restaurant called Hook that the locals take quietly seriously.

A stone manor house that's been standing since the 13th century has no particular need to impress you, and Buckland Manor seems to know it. This Cotswolds country house hotel sits just outside Broadway with 15 rooms, each one distinct, all leaning into the classic without feeling frozen in amber. Afternoon tea, a restaurant running on Vale of Evesham produce, and grounds that look painted: the formula is old, but the execution keeps up.

The pillow menu alone has more options than most restaurants. This Regency townhouse hotel on Chipping Campden's main square lets guests customise bedding weight, bath amenities, and minibar contents, which is either charming hospitality or a cry for help, depending on your tolerance for decisions. Interiors skip the antique overload common to Cotswolds country houses in favour of something warmer and more liveable, which turns out to suit the setting fine.

A Cotswolds country-house hotel with a Parisian makeover, where the story goes that Lewis Carroll first met Alice Liddell. The Experimental Group has since installed a Dorothée Meilichzon interior that blends Italianate grandeur with French cool and the odd Wonderland wink. Thirty-six rooms run from cozy to full four-poster-and-terrace, the Experimental Cocktail Club runs the bar, and the C-Side spa has a spectacular glass-walled pool. It holds a Michelin Key.

Behind its honey-stone Cotswolds coaching-inn facade, this hotel is quietly doing something else entirely. Matthew Freud owns it, Banksys and Hirsts hang on the walls, and the wine cellar sits behind a French prison door. Bedrooms come stocked with mezcal negronis and late-night snacks from a pantry called The Trough. Seven bars and dining spots, pitch-perfect lighting, and unstuffy service. The Michelin Guide awarded it one Key.

The cows outside the window are not decorative: Eckington Manor is a working farm on the edge of the Cotswolds that also happens to have sixteen bedrooms, split between the old manor house and converted outbuildings. Each room bends around the original floor plan, so no two feel alike. The restaurant leans hard on what the farm produces, and the cooking school is a more serious operation than the words "hotel cooking class" usually imply.

The building sits directly across from New Place, Shakespeare's last home, which sets a certain tone before you've even checked in. This Hotel Indigo property keeps the 15th-century bones intact, and the attic rooms in particular come with exposed timbers you won't find in many hotels with a functioning app. The farm-to-fork restaurant, The Woodsman, leans into the period charm with gusto.

1. Michelin Guide Selected Hotels

Thirteen rooms in a Georgian townhouse facing Pittville Park, each one different but all stocked with Bramley bath products and Nespresso machines, with a rolltop tub in some. The décor lands somewhere between a Cotswolds country house and a boutique hotel that's actually done some reading, with an art collection that earns its wall space. The restaurant runs a seasonal modern British menu, and the Cotswolds proper are a short drive from the front door.

A grand Georgian villa on the edge of Imperial Gardens, No. 131 is a boutique hotel that has no business being this cool in a town best known for horse racing and Regency architecture. Rooms mix country-house comfort with industrial-edge design, and two restaurants anchor the ground floor, one of them riffing on Tokyo. The Michelin Guide has it among its selected hotels, which feels about right for somewhere that quietly overshoots expectations.

1. Michelin Guide Selected Hotels

A Regency villa in Cheltenham's Montpellier quarter, all tall windows and period stonework on the outside, and something considerably darker and moodier once you're through the door. The 61 rooms lean into the Malmaison formula of moody palettes and over-upholstered comfort, which suits the spa-town-with-a-streak crowd just fine. The Bar & Grill runs a seasonal menu built around grass-fed British beef, so dinner doesn't require leaving the building.

1. Michelin Guide Selected Hotels

A Cotswolds coaching inn with copper soaking tubs in some rooms and a Kate Moss portrait watching over the dining room. The Wheatsheaf started as a restaurant and grew into fourteen bedrooms, each different, all with Hypnos beds and Bang & Olufsen televisions, dressed in a quiet mix of contemporary and traditional country. The kitchen does a modern take on English cooking, and shooting or fishing can be arranged for guests who feel the countryside needs to be more of a project.

1. Michelin Guide Selected Hotels

A Cotswolds estate where the village pub, the spa, the cookery school, and a spring-fed pool all belong to the same address. Thyme is a luxury boutique hotel spread across beautifully restored 17th-century stone buildings, with rooms that range from manor suites to freestanding cottages with rolltop baths and real quiet. The Ox Barn handles dinner; The Swan handles everything else. The Michelin Guide awarded it 2 Keys.

1. Michelin Guide 2 Keys

The creaky floorboards and sloping ceilings in this old Burford inn are the real structure; the 11 rooms just settle around them. A thoughtful refresh has layered in stone-washed grays and linen textures without sanding the character out, which in the Cotswolds takes some restraint. The tapas restaurant is a mild surprise for the postcode, and the bar keeps things sensibly classic. A small, unhurried place to stay in a village that knows exactly what it is.

1. Michelin Guide Selected Hotels

Rosemary Verey designed the gardens here, which should tell you something about the seriousness of the place. THE PIG is a country house hotel in a Cotswold village, with rooms that lean into the period bones without going full-twee, a spa tucked down a winding path, and a restaurant that sources from the kitchen garden visible through the dining room windows. The kind of hotel where the grounds alone justify an afternoon.

1. Michelin Guide Selected Hotels

Choosing a room here means choosing a persona: the original Arts-and-Crafts house offers period-appropriate calm, while the newer Orchard House runs to a more boutique, spa-weekend sensibility. Either way, this Warwickshire country house hotel covers the full spread, with extensive grounds, a serious spa with seven treatment rooms, and two restaurants on site. The service lands somewhere between a handshake and a bow, which is about right.

1. Michelin Guide Selected Hotels

Stone walls that have been standing since the 16th century now share space with sleek modern furniture across 24 rooms at this boutique country inn just outside Cirencester. The Cotswolds is full of places claiming to be charming villages, but Ampney Crucis has a reasonable case. The Crown, the inn's pub-style restaurant, runs a farm-to-table menu broad enough that nobody argues over where to eat.

1. Michelin Guide Selected Hotels

A former vicarage in the Cotswolds, converted into an eighteen-room hotel where the old chapel is now a copper-countered cocktail bar under original stained glass. Log burners sit in original fireplaces, a wellie room equips you for valley walks, and the restaurant runs sharing menus that shift with the seasons. The kind of place where afternoon tea by the fire feels less like a cliché and more like the whole point of being there.

A 16th-century Oxfordshire farmhouse, beamed and crooked in all the right ways, reimagined as a boutique country inn by the Artist Residence group. Rooms mix roll-top tubs and rain showers with contemporary art and antique oddities, and the Mason Arms downstairs runs upscale English pub food beneath a neon sculpture. It sits neatly between Oxford and the Cotswolds, which makes it useful as well as charming. The Michelin Guide awarded it one Key.

1. Michelin Guide 1 Key

A Victorian country house hotel half an hour from Birmingham, with two restaurants where most would settle for one. The main house rooms lean into period grandeur with antiques and Arts and Crafts detailing, while the Walled Garden suites go the other direction entirely, all cast concrete baths and floor-to-ceiling windows. The hotel holds two Michelin Keys, and its restaurant Grace & Savour carries a Michelin star.

A taxidermied badger under a glass dome watches guests climb the winding staircase, which sets the tone for this Grade II-listed Queen Anne country house hotel in rural Worcestershire. Ten acres of grounds come with tennis courts and croquet lawns, rooms carry names like Duchess and Black Worcester, and the oak-framed spa building runs to a cedar-scented sauna and a rainforest shower with sound effects. Dogs are welcome in most rooms.

1. Michelin Guide Selected Hotels

A 15th-century manor house in an Oxfordshire village, close enough to both Oxford and the Cotswolds to feel pleasantly between worlds. Tudor and Georgian bones run through the public rooms, while bedrooms split between the original house and the old stables come with underfloor heating, because nobody fetishises the past that much. The bar and terrace handle casual all-day grazing; the Lavender Restaurant leans into the full country-house dining experience.

Housed in a converted Royal Mail sorting facility inside The Mailbox, Birmingham's upscale canal-side shopping complex, this boutique hotel trades in dark woods, earthy tones, and generous room sizes that make a quiet dig at London's overpriced cupboards. Harvey Nichols is essentially your lobby. The Malmaison house style runs cool and calm throughout, with a brasserie and spa on site for anyone who needs a reason to stay indoors.

1. Michelin Guide Selected Hotels

Full-length windows overlooking Birmingham's canal district set the tone at this large, polished city-centre hotel. The rooms are spacious and properly fitted out, the spa has a pool and a round-the-clock gym, and the lobby sits close enough to the shops that afternoon tea afterward feels almost obligatory. It runs on the Hyatt template, which is less a complaint than a description: reliably comfortable, nothing left out.

1. Michelin Guide Selected Hotels

A Victorian red-brick that used to be the Birmingham Eye Hospital, which at least explains the attention to detail. Hotel du Vin leans into rich, warm tones and a faintly baroque sensibility while the rest of the boutique world goes minimalist and white. It's the only outpost in the chain with a spa, and the bistro's wine list runs to hundreds of bottles. The shopping outside is fine, but you'll be thinking about dinner.

1. Michelin Guide Selected Hotels

The Queen's Suite is named for Elizabeth I, who last slept here in 1575, which gives you a sense of how long Fawsley Hall has been at this. It's a country house hotel with Tudor, Georgian, and Victorian wings, all of which were, at some point, the new addition. Rooms range from period-heavy originals to quieter contemporary spaces in the stables and spa building. A full spa, restaurant, and weekend screenings round things out nicely.

Oscar Wilde once signed the guest book here, which tells you something about how long this stone boutique hotel on Banbury Road has been receiving guests. The interiors lean colorful and contemporary against the weathered 17th-century shell, making for a quietly luxurious contrast. Afternoon tea is an institution, the Parsonage Grill pulls serious sourcing, and the hotel arranges punts, bikes, and walking tours for those who want Oxford served properly. The Michelin Guide awarded it 1 Key.

The rooftop bar looks out over one of the more famously dreamy skylines in England, which is a difficult opening act for any hotel to follow. Fortunately, The Store Oxford, occupying the building that was once a beloved department store, is a contemporary luxury hotel that leans into its own past, with rooms that quietly nod to the building's retail history. A subterranean spa and a ground-floor bar spilling onto Broad Street round things out nicely.

1. Michelin Guide Selected Hotels

A converted Georgian bank on Oxford High Street, with the Radcliffe Camera visible from its front steps and the Bodleian essentially across the road. The Old Bank is a boutique hotel where the interiors are handsome without being theatrical, rooms come with Wildsmith bath products and hand-crafted mattresses, and the in-house Quod restaurant handles European classics at all hours. The Michelin Guide has it among Selected Hotels.

1. Michelin Guide Selected Hotels

Seemingly endless gardens surround this small, polished country-house hotel in the Cotswolds, where 23 generously sized rooms manage to feel both rustic and firmly in the present century. The Dining Room draws guests from across England, while Grey's Brasserie handles the more casual end. The Aquarias spa adds another reason to stay longer than planned. Whatley Manor holds two Michelin Keys.

1. Michelin Guide 2 Keys

Stone walls that have been hosting weary travelers since medieval times frame a hotel that refuses to become a museum piece. The owners, an American couple who brought Texan hospitality sensibilities to the Cotswolds, have filled each room with its own mix of wallpapers and textiles, so no two feel alike. The restaurant, Abbey Row, serves modern British cooking in a space dramatic enough to distract you from the menu.

1. Michelin Guide Selected Hotels

A honey-colored manor house in the Oxfordshire countryside, its two-acre kitchen garden supplying Raymond Blanc's celebrated restaurant below. Inside, chintz cushions, flagstone floors, and wood-beamed ceilings make it unmistakably English, until you notice the oversized baths and the Champagne waiting regardless of the hour. There's no gym or pool, but there is croquet, and a cooking school for guests who'd rather not forget any of this when they get home.

1. Michelin Guide 3 Keys

Ancient beams and roll-top baths in a former working farm that's been sitting in the Forest of Dean since the 13th century. Tudor Farmhouse is a small hotel with rooms ranging from cozy doubles to suites with proper lounge areas, all stonework and monsoon showers. The kitchen garden and a tight ring of local producers feed a restaurant that runs from breakfast through an evening tasting menu. Good countryside is essentially the wallpaper.

1. Michelin Guide Selected Hotels

Henry VIII slept here, which Thornbury Castle will never let you forget, and fair enough. This Tudor hotel outside Bristol, holding a Michelin Key, wraps guests in genuine 16th-century stonework, tapestries, and the particular hush of a building that has outlasted empires. Dinner leans grand and ceremonial, afternoon tea even more so. The comforts are quietly modern, but nobody comes here to be reminded of the present.

A brass ship's window and a renovated ship's bell hang in the bar of this riverside inn, propping up the local legend that its timbers were salvaged from a sunken 18th-century warship. A careful overhaul uncovered original flagstones and ancient beams, now layered with earthy greens and Welsh Melin Tregwynt textiles. Six Heritage Rooms are named after navigators and river figures, and the kitchen keeps things hyperlocal throughout.
