Whether you're into sleeping al fresco under the stars and in the middle of the woods or bunking in a luxurious hotel bedroom with a beautiful view of the rolling hills, there's a bed in the Cotswolds with your name on it!

Yurts have become hugely popular, and for all the right reasons. A yurt offers you all the luxuries of a warm and luxurious hotel room and all the fabulousness of being at one with nature and camping.

In a secluded woodland glade on a farm in the south Cotswolds, you can stay in a yurt with Cotswold Yurts, completely hidden and nicely tugged away in the magical Cotswold Hills. Birdsong, butterflies, meadows and pure luxury await you.

Outside you can relax on the balcony or explore the woods and the river right outside your yurt door. Inside sheepskins and woollen rugs will keep you warm and comfortable, logs are on the wood-burning stove to keep you toasty on starry nights.

2. Walk in, Float out!

The beautiful and incredibly glamourous Dormy House, situated between Broadway and Chipping Campden in the Cotswolds, has a bed with your name on it if pure luxury is what you desire!

In 2014 the hotel re-opened after an extensive refurbishment. A luxurious Scandinavian design and a top class service level is offered throughout and their House Spa is pretty much the spa to end all spas.. even that has a bed with your name on it!

The bedrooms at the Dormy are all individually styled and gorgeous. You will walk in, and float out when you stay at Dormy House!
