The Slaughters Country Inn, Lower Slaughter

Courtesy of the Slaughters Country Inn / Expedia
With all the charm of an authentic country inn, the Slaughters lies in the heart of the Cotswolds, in the idyllic hamlet of Lower Slaughter. It’s a 15-minute drive to Cotswold Farm Park, and there are numerous riverside walks and country trails on your doorstep. After a day in hiking boots and wellies, you can return to the welcoming pub restaurant for a pint of ale, Gloucester black pudding salad or a country terrine served with home-made chutney. Toddle up to bed, where a sound sleep or long soak in a claw-footed bath awaits under timber beams. This one is particularly family-friendly, with picnic hampers, barbecues and treasure hunts organised in the riverside garden of the inn.
