          This classic landscape is the image of traditional English countryside. The region is both geographically and culturally delineated, set roughly between the Thames River valley to the east, the River Avon to the south, the River Severn to the west, and the Malvern Hills and Shakespeare country to the north.

BIBURY IN THE SOUTHERN COTSWOLDS

          Known for quaint communities with multi-hyphened names (Stowe-on-the-Wold, Bourton-on-the-Hill), thatched houses, and easy country walking between obscurely named pubs, the Cotswolds embodies much that is both familiar and eccentric about our cultural associations with England.

HOME AT FIRST HAS TWO LODGING LOCATIONS IN THE COTSWOLDS:

-

    IN GLOUCESTERSHIRE SOUTH OF CHELTENHAM
          HOME AT FIRST’s cottages are in or close to Tetbury, a typical Cotswold town still largely unspoiled by tourism. Here are shops, restaurants, and pubs where you will meet the local residents, perhaps even Tetbury's most famous resident, a prominent member of the British royal family. Tetbury's location makes it within easy day-trip reach of Bath, South Wales, Portsmouth, Salisbury & Stonehenge, Oxford, and Berkeley Castle.

    IN GLOUCESTERSHIRE NORTH OF CHELTENHAM
    AND IN PARTS OF WORCESTERSHIRE AND WARWICKSHIRE
          HOME AT FIRST's cottages are in or near Chipping Campden, a famous Cotswolds village known for its thatched "cottages", medieval church, and annual 400-year-old Cotswold "Olympicks". Chipping Campden's location makes it close to Shakespeare Country (Stratford-upon-Avon is about 30 minutes away), Oxford, Mid-Wales, and Warwick Castle.

                HOME AT FIRST’s Cotswolds cottages are well equipped with all the comforts of home and ready for occupancy at all times of year, even winter! Moreover, they are perfectly located as bases for day trips throughout the Cotswolds and into neighboring regions of England and Wales.
