The area is awash with fine restaurants and cosy pubs, but the Ebrington Arms (theebringtonarms.co.uk), just outside Chipping Campden, is hard to beat on all fronts. In April, this unspoilt 17th-century inn was voted North Cotswolds Pub of the Year by the Campaign for Real Ale. Its classic dishes, sourced locally, have earned head chef James Nixon an AA rosette and its three rooms have been awarded four AA stars.

City/town information
Packed full of Tudor splendor and only 6 miles from Morningside, Stratford upon Avon shouldn't be missed.
Take a circular stroll along the river banks of the Avon, liined with graceful willow trees and home to the RSC and the Holy Trinity church where William himself is buried.
Hire a boat from avon-boating.co.uk - one of their 'electric launches' seats 6 comfortably (£60 per hour) and has a half canopy for shade, take a picnic and a bottle of fizz if you feel a bit fancy! Smaller rowing / motor boats are around £20 for 30 mins).
The Royal Shakespere Company is obviously synonomous with Stratford upon Avon and William Shakespere is everywhere here. Visit rsc.org.uk for info on what's on at the RSC as well as outoor performances during the summer months.
For more Shakespere attractions in the town (there are many!) visit shakespere.org.uk.
There are oodles of boutique shops & eateries, antique shops and coffee houses.
Take your pick of engaging venues, suitable for all ages and offering an inspired antidote to Shakespeare. The brilliantly quirky MAD Museum is filled with pieces of kinetic art – MAD stands for “mechanical art and design”. You push buttons to get the displays moving (mermaid, dinosaur, a wall of marbles) and then marvel at the ingenuity (themadmuseum.co.uk)
At The Old Slaughterhouse, tap into lively community spirit. This inventive gallery and workshop offers permanent displays about Stratford’s social history (pick up a Bakelite phone receiver, for example, and you’ll hear the local butcher’s story) as well as changing exhibitions; the current display is on local “land girls” of the two world wars (escapearts.org.uk; free).
For those who prefer things decidedly more alive, at the Stratford Butterfly Farm you can walk into an enchanting rainforest housed in a substantial greenhouse. It’s filled with thousands of butterflies – as well as moths, a parrot and a couple of iguanas – while in a room alongside is a large and diligent colony of leafcutter ants (butterflyfarm.co.uk; adults £7.95, children £6.95).
Countess of Evesham River Cruise restaurant - situated on the riverside in Stratford (5 miles). Booking essential.

The contemporary dining room is a bustling and light space. With an open kitchen, the experience and theatre of the chefs at work creates a dynamic atmosphere.
In keeping with its surroundings the kitchen serves a modern British menu. There are a few nods to classic pub food, but above all the menu is inspired by the best seasonal produce from local farmers. Many of the ingredients are picked daily from the market garden at Daylesford farm.
It's top end pub food and pretty pricey but if you want to treat yourselves in the Cotswolds this is the place!

Nether Westcote is close to the picturesque, medieval town of Burford, which has a high street festooned with antiques shops and charming tea rooms selling fresh, plump lardy cakes.
There is a full vegetarian menu, and a children’s one featuring meatballs and brownies.
It's a country pub with bar stools made of horse saddles, yet the menu is more suited to The Ledbury in Notting Hill.
A cosy retreat in the winter but summertime it comes into it's own with breathtaking views from the stunning terrace across miles and miles of uniterupted Cotswolds countryside. Booking for the terrace is highly recommended!
