It is rightfully called "Queen of the Cotswolds" and the village lies at the mid-point of the Cotswold Way national trail, approximately fifty miles from Chipping Campden to the north and fifty miles from Bath in the south. Many of the buildings in the village are made from locally quarried Cotswold stone, resulting from the prosperous wool and cloth trade in centuries past. The pretty church of St. Mary's is a popular wedding venue and is surrounded by the famous ninety-nine yew trees and table tombs which fill the church grounds. In the village there is a variety of small shops, cafes, restaurants and the local pub with large open fire is only fifty meters up the road. Our attentive ARC Manager actively ensures that guests are considerate of our wonderful neighbours in this principle corner of the town, and we kindly request that guests are considerate of noise levels, particularly after 10pm. Guests are welcome to use the internal Fire pit courtyard after 10pm, while displaying courteous behaviour. We are dedicated to fostering a harmonious coexistence between our valued guests and the local community. This charming location is further enhanced by its proximity to the delightful local pub, as well as the coffee shop and boutique known as 'Meadows.'
