Outdoor Areas at Pettifers Hotel

Step outside and discover Pettifers Hotel’s large walled gardens, a peaceful retreat where you can relax, dine, and play in the heart of the Cotswolds. With space for everyone — from children and dogs to couples enjoying a quiet evening drink — our gardens are designed to be enjoyed all year round.

 

Relax and Unwind

On sunny days, our terrace and patio are the perfect spots for al fresco dining, with tables set amongst the greenery and garden seating for drinks in the fresh air. During the summer, our lawns are occasionally set up with a traditional croquet pitch, inviting guests to enjoy a quintessentially English pastime. Whether you’re sipping afternoon tea, reading in the sunshine, or sharing a glass of wine as the sun sets, our outdoor areas offer a calm and welcoming atmosphere.

Family and Dog-Friendly

Our gardens are a safe and open space where children can play freely while parents relax nearby. Dogs are also welcome, with bins provided to help keep the grounds clean and enjoyable for everyone. With plenty of room to stretch out, it’s an inviting spot for four-legged guests as much as their owners.

Convenient Parking

To make your stay as easy as possible, Pettifers provides three car parks:

  • A large car park at the rear of the hotel
  • A smaller car park by Reception
  • Another located by the gardens

Accessible spaces can be pre-booked in advance, and we are also able to accommodate larger vehicles or private coaches with prior arrangement. Simply call Reception on 01666 815060 to reserve a suitable space.

Why Guests Love Our Outdoor Spaces

The gardens at Pettifers are more than just an outdoor area — they’re an extension of your stay. Families love the space for children to enjoy safely, couples value the peaceful setting for dining and drinks, and dog owners appreciate having somewhere on-site for their pets to explore. It’s the perfect backdrop for making the most of your time in the Cotswolds.
