About
The Noel Arms is a Grade II listed inn on the High Street in Chipping Campden, run by Bespoke Hotels. The main block dates from the mid eighteenth century, by its listing. The hotel calls itself one of the oldest Cotswold inns, and the story goes that Charles II rested here after the Battle of Worcester. The hotel says the Cotswold Way starts outside the front door.
It has 27 en-suite rooms, from Classic to Four Poster, including accessible rooms; some take up to two extra beds or cots, so ask when booking. There is on-site parking, and rooms for meetings and events of up to 45 people. Guests can use the spa at its sister hotel, Cotswold House, across the road, for a supplement and when there is space. The restaurant, conservatory and Dover's Bar share a menu of classic British dishes and curries: the head chef, Indunil Upatissa, has three times been named best curry chef at the Great British Pub Awards, and curry nights are held on the last Thursday of each month. Lunch is from noon to 3pm and dinner from 6pm to 9pm, with a children's menu, and the bar keeps Cotswold real ales.
The coffee shop, open to everyone from 8am, sells homemade cake and takeaway drinks. Dogs are welcome for £20 a night, booked ahead. The hotel is listed on Booking.com with check-in from 3pm, check-out by 11am and free parking on site.
