Cotswolds Hotel and Spa, Chipping Norton
A large golf and spa hotel at Southcombe, on the edge of Chipping Norton, with 114 rooms and suites, an 18-hole parkland course, padel, spa treatments and Greys Restaurant, plus free parking.
A resort-style base rather than a characterful inn, chosen for its golf, padel and spa packages. It suits a group break and a free car park at the edge of town. A new spa and bedrooms are due for completion in 2027, with building work away from the main hotel on weekday daytimes. It is entirely cashless now, and dogs are not allowed.

About
The Cotswolds Hotel and Spa, whose website goes by the name Cotswolds Club, stands at Southcombe on the eastern edge of Chipping Norton. It has 114 on-site rooms and suites, and its strength is what comes with the room.
The golf is an 18-hole parkland course. The hotel warns that it is often busy with threes and fours, which can slow play, and buggies must stay on the rough. Golf breaks start from £99 a person for one night and two rounds off peak, with dinner and a full English breakfast, and £188 for two nights and three rounds. The two padel courts are outdoors and floodlit, open to the public as well as guests and booked through Playtomic; a stay and play padel package starts from £109 a person, with dinner, breakfast and an hour on court each day.
The spa offers massages, facials and body therapies, but no pool, sauna or steam room. A one-night wellness stay with a 50-minute treatment, dinner and breakfast is from £169 a person, sharing. The hotel is building a new luxury spa and bedrooms, due for completion in 2027; it says the work is away from the main building and runs from 8am to 5pm on weekdays only. Greys is the restaurant.
A Blenheim Palace package, with a room, breakfast and day passes to the palace, park and gardens about 15 minutes away, starts from £161, which the package page prices for a double room. Check-in is from 3pm and check-out by 11am. Parking is free on site, but there is no EV charging, and dogs and other pets are not allowed. An accessible room with a roll-in shower is in the main hotel; book it by phone. Since 22 July 2026 the hotel has been cashless, taking only cards and contactless.
