‘I discovered a Rivals-inspired Cotswolds getaway at this fashionable new hotel’

ok.co.uk:

The Pig boutique hotels have made a name for themselves for their farm-to-table food, characterful interiors and home-from-home charm, and this new opening just outside Cirencester – the latest in the piggy litter – is no exception.

You’ll find The Pig’s particular brand of relaxed luxury in abundance here; this Grade II-listed building that was formerly Barnsley House is filled with mismatched antique furniture, faded rugs and staff that greet you like you’re old friends.

Picture the Weasleys’ house in the Harry Potter films, but significantly more chic than shabby. Our bedroom was a gorgeous (and spacious) green-toned sanctuary up in the eaves of the main house, while downstairs there’s the library, snug, dining room and small bar, plus a number of other rooms and lodges dotted around the grounds.

Most of the other hotels have their own 'potting shed' treatment rooms, but The Pig in the Cotswolds is the first with its own little spa featuring a sauna, steam room and outdoor hydropool.
