A look at the latest restaurants, hotels, pubs and bars to open their doors

Cotswold House

Cotswold House hotel in Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire, has relaunched after a £1m restoration, which included a full renovation of its restaurant, bistro, suites and bedrooms, as well as wedding and event spaces. It has also opened a new tea room.

The hotel suites have undergone soft enhancements, with paintwork, headboards, curtains and furniture all reupholstered, replaced or updated. The restaurant, bistro, public and event spaces have seen a more dramatic renovation, including new carpets, furniture and lighting.

Bespoke Hotels, which represents over 170 properties worldwide, took over a long-term lease and management of the hotel and nearby sister property the Noel Arms, in 2012.
