A Cotswolds holiday is ideal for those who want to relax and enjoy luxurious surroundings during a few days away.
At least this is according to News of the World’s Rochelle Warner, who said on the website of the newspaper’s Fabulous magazine that the area’s "pretty villages and stunning countryside" are a big draw.
"Shopaholics can splurge on their credit cards in the villages of Stow-on-the-Wold and Bourton-on-the-Water, with their craft shops and galleries," she explained, adding that more adventurous types wanting to enjoy the countryside can sample sailing, horse riding, canoeing or windsurfing.
A Cotswolds holiday could also result in some unexpected star-spotting, she noted, as Kate Winslet, Kate Moss and Elizabeth Hurley have all been known to head there to get away from it all, while Princes William and Harry often play polo at Cirencester.
The Cotswolds is also a great place to enjoy traditional British food and drink.
Visitors might want to head to The Crown Inn, which was recently named the South Cotswolds Pub of the Year by the Campaign for Real Ale.
