Fairford - Cotswolds Day 2

The Bull Hotel Fairford - We are in the Hobbit room on the 2nd level where the floor has at least a 10 degree gradient 😂 We thought we might have to turn around in our bed so the blood didn’t run to our heads but we had one of the best sleeps of our trip. When you put a coffee cup on the side table you have to hold it in case it slips off.
The trickiest set of stairs we have had to negotiate, definitely could be Faulty Towers but we love it, they have made an outstanding job of renovating it to keep all the old world charm but make it comfortable.
Yesterday we went on a country ramble. We have noticed the croissants, date scones and lack of exercise are catching up with us so went for a 9.5km country ramble. The farmers here allow you to wander a path through their farms. We walked to a village called Quenington and back. So peaceful, we are happy to report there was birdsong, butterflies and bees in this area, plus pheasants.
The red telephone booths are now being repurposed as libraries, we have seen a few. What a great idea.
The local St Mary’s Church had embroidered cushions for parishioners to kneel on, all with their own unique design.
Today we are visiting as many Cotswold villages as we can before moving on tomorrow.Read more
