About Hyll, our manor house hotel in the Cotswolds

Hyll is a 14th-century manor in the North Cotswolds with views across five counties. It's not just a place to stay – it’s a place to exhale. Slow down, switch off, and savour the luxuries that are hardest to come by: time, space and good food eaten slowly.

A house with a history, a stay without rules

Hyll has lived many lives: as a family home, a retreat, a place where stories unfolded within its old stone walls. Now, it’s here for you to write your own. There’s no set itinerary, no rush to be anywhere, no need to explain why you’re still in your bathrobe at noon. Just a house built for slowing down.

The art of doing less

Rest isn’t a formula – it’s a feeling. Here, it might be sinking into an armchair with a book you pulled from the shelf at random, considering the influence of a piece of art. Or walking until your head clears, then coming back for tea and toast. It might even be a long, aimless chat with a stranger by the fire. Whatever it looks like for you, Hyll makes space for it.

A kitchen that feels like home (but better)

No white tablecloths. No unnecessary frills. Just good food, thoughtfully made, and best enjoyed slowly. The restaurant hums with conversation, the kind that comes easily when you’re well-fed and unhurried. Breakfast stretches into lunch, supper comes when you’re hungry, and everything tastes better because you didn’t have to cook it.

Discover our restaurant
Stare too long at a piece of art you don’t understand. Lose yourself in a book someone else loved first. Linger over breakfast. Do nothing at all. However you reset, there’s room for it here.

Outdoors, on your own terms

Some places beg to be explored, and Hyll is one of them. Wander through the garden, where herbs and wildflowers tangle together. Take the footpath that leads nowhere in particular. Stroll to a village pub and stay for one more than planned. Or don’t go anywhere at all – just open the window, breathe in the air, and let the view do the rest.
