The Lygon Arms Hotel
About
The Lygon Arms Hotel, a Grade II* listed coaching inn that dates back to the 14th century, sits at the heart of the picturesque Cotswolds. Over six centuries of history are preserved in its Tudor‑style timber and royal‑era paneling, while modern comforts such as en‑suite bathrooms, Wi‑Fi and a contemporary spa bring the past into the present. Guests may stay in any of the 86 rooms, including the famous Charles I Suite – a luxurious space that hosted the king before the Battle of Worcester – or retreat into the relaxing Lygon Spa, which offers hydrotherapy, sauna, steam rooms and a range of treatments. Culinary delights are a mainstay: Grill by James Martin, a Michelin‑starred chef, serves seasonal, local dishes in an elegant setting, while the Tavern by James Martin offers a cosy pub‑style menu. The Russell Room provides a relaxed afternoon‑tea experience that welcomes dogs, making this historic hostelry an ideal haven for couples, families, history enthusiasts and pet‑friendly travellers alike.
