Looking for an amazing place to stay in the Cotswolds? The Lygon Arms in Broadway combines centuries of history with all the luxury and charm you could dream of. Part of the Iconic Luxury Hotels brand, this historic carriage inn truly embodies the spirit of English countryside hospitality.
History Meets Modern Comfort
Dating back to the 14th century, The Lygon Arms is steeped in history. Its creaky steps, grand fireplaces, and beautifully designed common areas create a warm and inviting ambiance. The hotel strikes the perfect balance between bustling vibrancy and intimacy, with enough cosy corners for private conversations and plenty of space for larger gatherings.
Dining and Relaxation
The Grill dining hall is a highlight, featuring antler chandeliers, a roaring fireplace, and portraits that set a regal tone. The food? Absolutely fantastic. The spa facilities, including a pool, jacuzzi, and sauna, offer a tranquil escape, perfect after a day of exploring Broadway’s charming shops or the wider Cotswolds.
Funny Moments and Friendly Staff
A quick laugh: as Australians, we were briefly confused when looking for the bathrooms, only to realise that they were referred to as “cloakrooms,” – the British must have a lot of coats (makes sense?) we thought!
What truly set the Lygon Arms apart is the staff who made the experience unforgettable. Their friendly demeanour and helpfulness added a personal touch that elevated our stay.
Why The Lygon Arms Stands Out
The hotel’s central location in Broadway makes it an ideal hub for exploring the Cotswolds. Beyond its fantastic amenities, the beautiful gardens and a variety of unique activities offered by the hotel ensure there’s something for everyone.
My stay at The Lygon Arms was nothing short of fantastic. If you’re dreaming of a quintessential English countryside retreat, this iconic property should be at the top of your list. Discover our Cotswolds Itinerary as a starting point.
