Cotswolds, Hare & Hounds, Tetbury

When we come to the Cotswolds, we often stay in Broadway at The Broadway Hotel.  This past year we stayed near Tetbury, and found a sister hotel of The Broadway — The Hare and Hounds.  We’ve always been pleased with this small chain, and the H&H didn’t disappoint.

IMG_8991It’s quite large, and has an adjoining wing that housed our room, and the Jack Hare pub.

IMG_8993These Cotswold properties have a reputation for taking classic historic properties with character and doing the interiors with a contemporary flair based on a local theme…

…here, obviously, hares and hounds.

The pub and bar and the more formal dining room were delightfully filled with the creatures. Plus we had one of the best breakfasts of the trip for me…salmon and scrambled eggs, lots of tea, toast and fruit)

IMG_8998One of my favorite things about these inns is the display of original art and prints throughout the hotel…from the restaurants to the hallways to the rooms and baths.

A few of my absolute favorites in this inn were in our room…

The hares on the walls were wonderful and full of character.

Even in the bathroom there was a fanciful piece of art…

You have to love a place that loves art and color so much.

Cotswolds, Tetbury

Last summer we decided to try a new area in the Cotswolds, and because we were gong to visit Highgrove Gardens, Prince Charles’ home, we decided to stay near Tetbury. It did not disappoint.

IMG_8934

It was not quite as quaint and perfect as the village of Broadway, where we usually stay in the Cotswolds.  But it had a real charm all its own.

IMG_8939The main streets were filled with all sorts of shops, and it is known for its antiques.

IMG_8946

It was interesting.  Very classic in style, and obviously an upscale market.  The shops were varied and seemed to cater to a country set.

IMG_8942There were also flowers everywhere…

IMG_8943

…for sale or just to make you feel good.

IMG_8948

A beautiful town with lots of character and…

IMG_8941

…full of surprises. I could walk from window to window and be impressed with the varied displays.

A perfect morning in town strolling and window shopping before retiring to our Country Inn.
