Solo Travel in the Cotswolds
Solo travel in the Cotswolds is incredibly rewarding, whether you're hiking The Cotswolds Way or simply on a relaxing break.
Bourton on the Water is a great base for solo travellers, as with dining and amenities on your doorstep you don't need to be reliant on a car - and you never know who you'll find to chat to in one of the local pubs!
Our solo guests are never an afterthought - our single rooms are just as sumptuous as our bigger rooms, and surprisingly spacious. You'll have plenty of room to stow your bags and spread out and relax. And with our friendly team serving you breakfast each morning, you'll never feel out of place.
"Genuinely lovely staff, extremely comfortable and homely single room that was spacious despite only being a single, good location, quiet and nice hot shower"

Remote working doesn't have to be lonely - make the most of flexible working and spend your working week with us (you might be surprised at the mid-week value!).
All of our rooms have a desk and fast, reliable WiFi for your work, and scenic walks from the front door when you're ready for a break. Have a good breakfast and a chat with the staff at the start of each day, and spend your evenings in one of Bourton on the Water's cosy pubs or restaurants - or snuggle up in your room of course.
