About the hotel

The Bird in Hand is a Grade II listed building. Visually, it is a classic, graceful, stone and slate Cotswold building.

Nestled amongst the rolling countryside of the Cotswold's, the Bird in Hand offers you a warm relaxed welcome.

The Bird in Hand Hotel abounds with natural Cotswold stone and a number of heavily beamed rooms, each with it's own warmth and character. The oldest room is a focal point, with it's huge inglenook fireplace which blazes away with enormous logs during the cold winter nights and a display of local flowers during the hot summer season.

Since the original 17th Century Inn was totally renovated, it has endeavoured to provide excellent service and mouth-watering food in a warm, friendly and relaxing atmosphere.

The Inn is ideally suited as a base from which to discover the delights of the Cotswolds and surrounding areas. Whether a visit to the dreaming spires of Oxford, Blenheim Palace or touring the villages of the Cotswold's, the choice is yours.
