The Wild Rabbit
Refined British cooking in a limestone inn that still feels unstaged. The garden room in summer, the fire in winter.
We don’t do the encyclopaedia version. These are the places we send every guest to — three pubs, three farm shops, three walks, three villages, three bigger days out. All within thirty minutes of the door, except where the spectacle earns the drive.
Three places, in widening circles from the door. Book ahead at all of them — these are the worst-kept secrets in the area.
Refined British cooking in a limestone inn that still feels unstaged. The garden room in summer, the fire in winter.
Wood-fired plates, an unusually good wine list, and the kind of bar that makes you order a second.
Stylishly weathered coaching inn — open-fire cooking, root-to-fruit ethics, and a quiet confidence to it all.
Three places to stock the kitchen — from a household name to a working family farm down the road.
The benchmark farm shop. Bread, cheese, produce, pantry. Do the whole loop — café, cellar, garden centre.
Rare-breed butchery and seriously good meat. A working farm, not a lifestyle one — and better for it.
A lifestyle temple disguised as a garden centre. Worth the drive for the food hall, deli, and dinner-party finds.
Three walks, one for each kind of mood — the strange, the beautiful, the long. We mark our favourite from-the-door routes on the map we send with your arrival details.
Neolithic stones on an open ridge. Properly atmospheric, especially at golden hour. A short circular walk handles it.
A long, cultivated walk through one of the country’s great tree collections. Best in spring blossom or autumn fire.
A handsome uphill walk to a folly tower with views that go on for ever. Earn the cake at the café afterwards.
Three towns within a quarter-hour of the door. Different paces; same honey stone.
Antiques, galleries, a market square that takes a slow morning. Off the main rush, find the side streets.
A working town, not a polished one — independents, a brilliant bookshop, real markets, real people.
Iconic steep high street sloping down to the medieval bridge over the Windrush. Lunch at the bottom, walk back up.
Three places worth a full day. Pack a flask; book the table.
A Mughal Indian palace in the Cotswolds. Improbable, beautiful, and unlike anything else within an hour’s drive.
The Royal Shakespeare Company in its home town. Matinee, then dinner riverside.
Baroque scale, Capability Brown parkland, and enough spectacle to justify the slightly-longer drive.
We send a hand-marked map with your arrival details — three loops you can do straight from the property without driving anywhere. The meadow loop, the church-and-pub triangle, and the long route round to Daylesford.
