Luxury Cotswolds Hotel
Oak House No.1, a luxury hotel in the Cotswolds, Gloucestershire, is situated in beautiful Tetbury, and offers guests a completely unique stay. There is no disguising the sumptuous and opulent styling of the interiors of our award winning hotel, but our main wish is that our guests feel comfortable in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere and, most importantly, that everyone leaves with an experience to remember.
The Sunday Times says … “luxury hotel in the Cotswolds, Oak House No.1 has become a celebrity bolt hole”. It has included us as one of their “100 ULTIMATE hotels in the UK”. Our boutique hotel has hosted many actors, rock stars, politicians and even royalty over the years, but we hope that no matter who the guest, the experience here is as wonderful for each and everyone.
A Little Bit of Cotswolds Luxury
The House
Oak House No.1 is set in the heart of beautiful Tetbury, Gloucestershire, which was voted the best market town in the Cotswolds and is perfectly placed for local events like the internationally famous Badminton Horse Trials and Polo at either Beaufort or Cirencester Park Polo Clubs. Of course Tetbury is known for being near to Highgrove, Prince Charles’ home and the very popular ‘Highgrove Garden Tour’ (need to book in advance).
Hotel Rooms
Our hotel bedrooms have been re-designed and furnished to an exceptionally high standard and feature the world’s finest quality Italian Frette sheets, cashmere throws, free WiFi, full SKY TV package, including Sky Movies and Sky Sports Channels, a bluetooth speaker system, DVD/CD player, silver tea sets with choices of teas, coffee and hot chocolate.
Pillow Menus
You can choose the type of pillow that you prefer from the finest Siberian goose down to hypo allergenic plus choose a movie to watch in your room from our DVD library in the sitting room, after all sleep quality is of the utmost importance to ensure a good night away from home. Our rooms deliver everything that you could want and more from a boutique hotel, including tea making facilities, with a fridge including fresh milk, complimentary bottled water, soft drinks and a safe in each suite.
The Garden
Our private walled garden is a quiet and secluded cosy oasis, even though we are in the heart of Tetbury. In the summer months, weather permitting you can take afternoon tea in a cosy secluded area. We’ve made the garden just as interesting as the interiors of the hotel, with different areas to relax with objects collected from as far away as Bali. For more information and photographs please select the ‘News’ heading and then scroll down and select ‘Garden’ at the top of our website.
Tetbury
A recent feature in the Guardian newspaper goes a long way to explain why we feel Tetbury is a great place not only to visit but also to live.
“What’s going for it? As a vision of Britain, Tetbury is terribly seductive. I could fall for Tetbury. We could all fall for Tetbury. A town like they used to make them. HRH Prince Charles is lord of the manor, though, alas, rarely on the tills at the shop. Some say Tetbury inspired Poundbury: both seem to exist in some kind of lovely la-la land”.
