Description
Undulating gracefully across six counties, the Cotswolds region is a delightful tangle of golden villages, thatched cottages, evocative churches and honey-coloured mansions. In 1966 it was designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The Cotswolds is the perfect place for a Christmas getaway - the cosy atmosphere of the small villages and rolling countryside fits the Christmas spirit perfectly!
