Nestled in 60 acres of glorious countryside, Hyll is a boutique hotel where the art of doing nothing is truly championed. Opening its doors after an extensive makeover in 2025, this 14th-century manor house blends heritage charm with heaps of contemporary comfort.

Inside, comfy chairs and a relaxed welcome (there’s not even a check-in desk) invite you to pause and unwind. Leaf through books, get stuck into fireside chats, take a guilt-free nap, play board games or treat yourself to on-demand wellness treatments.

The 26 rooms are simple yet luxurious, with organic wool mattresses and a soothing cocoa-latte colour scheme that makes it easy to forget the outside world. The grounds are just as dreamy: terraces, gardens, and rolling countryside perfect for a morning wander or an afternoon spritz, with views for miles over the Cotswold hills. Oh, and dogs will be thoroughly fussed over.

The chic restaurant at Hyll is a must-visit, with a delicious menu that champions seasonal, local ingredients. Each month, watch out for their intimate supper clubs — a dinner shaped by an artist in residence. Planning something big? You’re in luck. A stunning events barn is opening next year, offering a stylish space for weddings and parties, so book ahead now.
