Warwickshire Boutique Hotels
History, culture and countryside – there are plenty of attractions to enjoy in Warwickshire. Known as being Shakespeare’s birthplace, it’s perhaps no surprise that one of the county’s star attractions is Stratford-upon-Avon, and there’s a cluster of boutique hotel accommodation to match. Beyond Stratford, however, there’s more to discover in charming villages and towns and all with the kind of hospitality and individuality that will keep you wanting to come back.

The Fuzzy Duck in Newbold on Stour
Moving to the Northern Cotswolds, about seven miles from Stratford-upon-Avon, you’ll discover the boutique inn, The Fuzzy Duck. Not only does this former 18th-century coaching inn come complete with wooden beams, flagstone floors, magnificent fireplaces and an excellent reputation for sophisticated pub food, it also has four luxury rooms. Soundproofed from the pub noise, each room is a haven, decorated in calming creams and whites. The big, beautiful beds are dressed with frette linen, and en suites have details such as roll top baths, making them perfect to collapse into after an evening spent imbibing downstairs.
The Howard Arms in Ilmington
Another charming inn with rooms is the Howard Arms, again found in the Northern Cotswolds. The cosy pub is a mix of the traditional with some contemporary updates, and serves local ales a tasty menu based around local ingredients. The eight bedrooms, meanwhile, all have their own individual decor. Above the main inn you’ll find more traditional style, with four posters or details such as the beautifully carved bed and wardrobe in the Oak Room, while bedrooms in the annexe are more contemporary. All benefit from thoughtful touches such as radios with iPod docks, Temple Spa products, duckfeather and down duvet and pillows and a percolator with fresh coffee alongside gingerbread to munch on.
The George Townhouse in Shipston-on-Stour
The George Townhouse (***) is a contemporary coaching inn. This handsome building is found in the high street of Shipston-on-Stour and marries its historic interior with contemporary styling and service. There are 16 stylish bedrooms, ranging in style from the ‘Cosy’ up to The Suite, all with a king-size bed, en suites with rainfall showers and details such as iPod docks and Nespresso machines. The buzzy open-plan dining area downstairs caters from more formal options to casual bites, while the bar offers a selection of 14 gins and a changing selection of craft beers.
The Kenilworth in Kenilworth
Finally, for another boutique stay with great drinking options, take a look at The Kenilworth. The 16th-century building now plays host to 11 contemporary rooms and an award-winning cocktail lounge, with own-made syrups, tinctures, bitters and freshly squeezed juices. The building’s original features such as exposed beams sit alongside modern decor of dark wood and rich, luxurious fabrics. Each of the individually styled rooms has its own unique features, from wet rooms to private patio areas, perfect for some relaxation after a few of those cocktails!
