A luxurious ‘back-to-nature’ hideaway, oozing with rustic charm, offering truly unique spaces to make yourself at home in the Cotswolds countryside. Treehouse, anyone?
More a collection of quirky spaces than it is a hotel, The Fish comprises three farmhouses housing rooms and suites, as well as a collection of unique standalone buildings scattered throughout the grounds which have each been individually designed to connect guests with nature.
Think rustic interiors with exposed wooden frames and Scandinavian-chic decor, rooms heated by wood-fired stoves, outdoor heated bathtubs. Wherever you stay, The Fish impels you to feel cosy and at one with nature.
One of the most standout accommodations is the Treehouse; a timber-framed building nestled amongst the trees in the woodland, which is the perfect place for a magical escape with the family.
Meanwhile, couples can find a romantic escape in ‘Boaty McBoatface’ – a luxury custom-built Shepherd’s hut hidden beside a woodland lake, that enjoys an outdoor and indoor bathtub, as well as access to a private island accessible only by rowboat.
At the core of the hotel is the Lodge, central communal space that, with its cosy corners, squashy sofas and fireplaces aplenty, is the definition of comfort. Come here to find a quiet nook to relax, to fine on fine seafood at Hook, the in-house restaurant, or grab an evening drink at the bar.
Whether you are looking for a short break in England or a longer escape, The Fish is the perfect home away from home and, situated in the Cotswolds countryside, is in prime position to enjoy everything that this region has to offer.
Filled with historic towns and picturesque rolling hills aplenty – there is something for everyone, be it families, couples or friends travelling together.

Activities and Entertainment
Feel like a putting your feet up and settling into a movie? Head to the Screening Room at Springfield House! You and up to 13 people can take over this little cinema, where you can watch everything from new releases to classic art-house flicks – The Fish will even supply the popcorn. Included in the ticket price is a pre-movie 3-course-dinner at Hook.
Time on the estate can be spent exploring the grounds or, for cold days, at the award-winning spa at Dormy House.
Beyond the estate, there are tons to explore. Meander around the local biscuit tin village of Broadway or the famous streets of Stratford Upon Avon, slowly float down the river in Oxford, or walk along the many miles of footpaths that snake through the rolling hills of the Cotswolds countryside.
