England, Cerney,Bibury and Bourton, Cotswolds

This is the hotel (Inn) we stayed at in Cerney. It's on the main road going to Cerincester you can't miss it! It has a huge garden where people come late afternoon to get some beers and fish and chips.



We even had a little visitor from the garden... The restaurant offers a great selection of wine...they even had a Lebanese wine tasting!


All the villages around the Cotswolds are amazingly beautiful.
We visited Bibury, East of Cerney, where we discovered the most surprising hotel, adjacent to the cemetary. If you walk all the way at the end of the church courtyard and cemetary you will find a small blue door leading you to a garden filled with roses. The garden is actually the Bibury Court Hotel's property, nested in 6 acres of peace, tranquility and comfort. This feels more like a country house than a hotel. We'll definitely try it next time we're in the region.





Before returning to London, I wanted to visit a village that wasn't on any recommendation lists we had but which had a very attractive name: Bourton-on-the-water (which I actually read at first as Bouton!- which means rose bud in French).
The town is bigger than the others we visited and for once...it was packed with families, tourists, dogs...enjoying the nice weather on the border of the river. We stayed there a good couple of hours, having ice cream-on-the-water!
