Farncombe Estate

Spread across 400 acres of field and forest just beyond village of Broadway, Farncombe Estate is the hillside home of three multi-award-winning hotels that are redefining British hospitality for the 21st century. All family-owned and run, the hotels of Farncombe Estate have rapidly become some of the most sought-after places to stay in the Cotswolds, each offering guests something exceptional and unique. Dormy House is a 17th-century farmhouse transformed into a 38-room boutique hotel, with two acclaimed restaurants and the award-winning House Spa. Designed to embody classic Cotswolds chic with a splash of rustic Scandi style, it's a log-fires-and-cosy-corners kind of place, specialising in warm, down-to-earth luxury. A mile away, Foxhill Manor is an eight-bedroom 19th-century Arts and Crafts manor turned private-house hotel. Here, everything revolves around the guest – from the activities on offer to when and where dinner's served. Irresistibly laid-back but wonderfully indulgent, Foxhill can be a dangerously addictive place to stay. Just down the drive from Foxhill, the Fish Hotel is something entirely different, but every bit as welcoming. Rooms and suites are spread across a hillside cluster of farm buildings, treehouses and shepherds' huts, so whether you're after romantic seclusion or space to bring the kids (and the dog), you'll find it. The ideal base for outdoor adventures, it's the perfect place to get back to nature without losing the luxe. Whether you're looking for a quick country escape, a venue for a family celebration, a business getaway or a wedding venue with serious soul, you'll find it at Farncombe.
