Boutique Hotels in the Cotswolds: The Wild Rabbit, Kingham

Boutique Hotels in the Cotswolds | The Wild Rabbit

Looking for boutique hotels in the Cotswolds? Let me introduce you to The Wild Rabbit, a self-proclaimed ‘modern British Inn’ which sits in the centre of honey-stoned Kingham.

Designed by Lady Bamford in 2013 (who also owns Daylesford Organic, The Fox in Oddington, Bamford and Leoubé wine), the estate has 13 pub rooms and 31 Cotswold-Stone cottages to choose from.

All of the rooms and cottages at The Wild Rabbit are named after British wild animals such as The Rabbit, The Mole, The Owl and The Deer to name a few. Expect beautifully exposed beams, natural linens and dry-stone walling - all rooms oozing with character whilst also sticking to the Cotswold, home from home theme.

After searching the room options on The Wild Rabbit Website, we settled on the Beehive Cottage, a self-contained building adjacent to the Wild Rabbit’s main building.

Let me introduce you.

The Beehive

Welcome to the Beehive (and look how beautiful she is!).

With exposed brick walls and sky blue accents, the building caught my eye instantly.

Upon our arrival, we were sent a pin code to collect our key in the lock box and kindly provided with our parking space outside of the building (which was a dream as the Cotswold streets are not guaranteed to be free!).

We also had our own private terrace.

However, I must mention that this is not a closed off space and there is no gate (Just in case you bring your four legged friends),

The stone brick walls, white panelling and wooden accents complimented each other beautifully.

Bringing your Four-Legged Friend

The Wild Rabbit welcomes dogs on site however, they are only able to stay in specific rooms. These include Mole, Hare, Otter, Owl and The Beehive.

If you have two dogs, The Wild Rabbit suggests you book the Mole or one of their dog friendly cottages.

You will pay a £15.00 per dog, per night however, they will ensure your dog has a water bowl and bed for the duration of their stay.

According to the Wild Rabbit site, ‘we’ll-behaved dogs’ are welcome on their front and back terrace as well as the bar area however, dogs are not allowed in the main dining room unless you have an assistance dog.

After picking up some wine from Dayelsford, we decided to open the bottles and go sit out on our little terrace before getting ready for dinner.

The Kingham Plough

Originally, we wanted to stay at The Wild Rabbit for dinner as I had heard incredible things about their dining experience. Sadly, the Valentines Day menu was not to my liking, so we took a 3 minute stroll to The Plough Inn.

& on my, it did not disappoint (Zac even mentioned that it was one of the best meals he had ever had!).

Not only was the food incredible but Odin was also allowed to sit with us, meaning we didn’t need to leave him in the room.
