Cotswolds88hotel is the ideal location whether you are attending the multitude of festivals, polo matches and horse racing in the area or planning to escape the city, relax and enjoy the Cotswolds scenery.

Painswick is quite often referred to as the Queen of the Cotswolds due to its fine buildings of pale grey limestone. These are a reflection of the town's former prosperity during 300 years of activity in the cloth industry. The town is famed for the St. Mary's Church with its 99 yew trees which were planted around 1792. It is said that every time a hundredth tree is planted it dies.

Painswick is a town that contains many notable houses built in the prosperous seventeenth century and has lots of little streets to explore and quaint shops to discover. On the outskirts of the town the well known Rococo Gardens can be found in a hidden 6 acre valley. The gardens are the last sole survivor from the brief early 18th century period of English Rococo Garden design.
