Can anyone recommend a hotel in the Cotswolds with reasonable rates for one night and has ample (secure?) parking for 12 cars or so? Something scenic with good food and drinking facilities...

Thanks

Manor house in castle combe. Lovelly spot and it's in it's own grounds.

Pricey but lush.

What do you call 'reasonable'?

How secure is 'secure'.

I know a fantastic hotel, rates at the higher end of the market, but maybe they'll be open to negotiation in the current climate? Plenty of room for cars, tucked away and well away from public roads etc, but not under lock and key (car park sees a fair number of exotica and luxury cars, as you'd expect). One of the best hotels in the South IMO, very, very nice.

On a similar note, Homewood Park could be worth a look. Now owned by Von Essen. As with Castle Combe its 'off the beaten track and gated but not 'under lock and key.

Oh yes! Stayed there too, also very nice though I'd rate the Manor House higher. Ettington considerably more 'economical' mind you.......

Lygon Arms Broadway, has valet parking and very large car parks at the rear. Also has a pool as well as steam and sauna. Has two restaurants and Broadway has several pubs.

As for price it is around £110 per room per night incl breakfast.

Not sure why you are so concerned about secure parking, but Lower Slaughter Manor always has an array of nice cars parked in the car park. It is suitably overpriced expensive.

He pulled this thread at the beginning because he typed Ampe Parking...

For one horrible moment, I thought he drove an electric car...

And couldn't spell...

Depends if your bothered whereabouts in the Cotswolds.

The Bugatti Owners Club (featured on a TG) is in Gotherington about 2-3 miles from Winchcombe. I'd say a visit the the Bugatti Pub & then the Bugatti Museum (free) would be a fitting part of your travels. The Queens hotel in Cheltenham (6 miles from Winchcombe) has secured parking (got a barrier & all) & is supremely located in the town centre. Also a 'Le Pettit Blanc' is in the Hotel.

As much as I detest the inbred places, Bourton on-the-water (20 miles from Cheltenham) is quite picturesque & just off the Fosse Way there's a Classic Car dealership on the industrial estate with some proper classics. They had a De Tomaso Pantera in race spec there once & I'm an eternal fan of the car now.

Don't go to Stow on-the-Wold unless you fancy being a test bed for exotic diseases.

<<Looks around>> nope no exotic diseases despite being born and going to school in Stow !

FosseManor.co.uk at the bottom of Stow Hill is worth a look. Triumph club held an annual meet there for many years so some car friendlyness. Not a bad location for hooning but watch the camera on the Stow-Bourton road. As well as other places mentioned the motor museum in Bourton is worth a visit, huge collection of stuff in there.

Thank you for the recommendations, planning a little Tour with some friends who are concerned about the security aspect of their cars, so I need to offer them some kind of reassurance.

Thanks for the recommendations.

In terms of places to stay in the Cotswolds - I would recommend Chipping Campden , arguably a lot nicer than either Broadway or Burton-on-Water.

there are several good hotels in the town , and its a safe place to leave expensive cars - quite a few of the weekend places are owned by city boys who park their cars in the high street at wknds.

... much better choice of pubs and restaurants than a lot of other Cotswold villages / towns
