A Transatlantic Guide To The Cotswolds

Just two hours driving distance from London, discover a Cotswolds stay unlike any other - a trio of Georgian townhouses buzzing with energy, fine dining, and modern British charm.

For travellers crossing the Atlantic in search of storybook England, No.131 offers something refreshingly unexpected. This isn’t a sleepy country inn, it’s a bustling townhouse filled with life, character, and a sense of place.

Set in the Regency town of Cheltenham, the townhouse is perfectly placed for exploring the rolling Cotswold hills while offering the cosmopolitan energy of a town rich in culture, architecture, and design. Think early morning pastries on The Terrace, a day of countryside adventures, and evenings spent in the glow of Gin & Juice - one of the most atmospheric cocktail bars in England.

No.131 is where classic British heritage meets contemporary luxury. Each room combines Georgian charm with modern design - roll-top baths, fine art, statement fabrics, and that effortless elegance travellers fall in love with.

Our deep connection with Holland Cooper, the British heritage fashion brand, adds an authentic touch of craftsmanship and style. You’ll find Holland Cooper touches throughout the hotel and their flagship boutique just minutes away at Dowdeswell Park - perfect for guests seeking a little piece of British luxury to take home.

From Cheltenham, the Cotswolds’ most picturesque villages - Broadway, Stow-on-the-Wold, Bourton-on-the-Water - are all within easy reach. Spend the day wandering cobbled lanes, browsing antique shops, and stopping for traditional afternoon tea.

For day trips further afield, Bath and Oxford are each less than an hour away, offering world-class architecture, museums, and history. It’s the ideal itinerary: city, countryside, and townhouse luxury, all in one unforgettable stay.
