The little village of Chipping Campden is a great base for garden visiting in the Cotswolds. It was September while we were there, so not great hordes of tourist busses. It is the beginning and the end of the Cotswold walking trails, so there were still a lot of people around with hiking boots and sticks. We stayed at the Campden House Hotel--highly recommended, great people, great breakfast (included). It's in the village, so it's no drama to grab dinner in the evening. The best pub in town is the Pig andWhistle, which was bustling with locals as well as visitors. Another great place to eat is the Horse and Groom pub in Bourton on the Hill, a short cab ride away. It's justifiably famous for its food, so book early for the restaurant or take your chances in the bar (we scored a table by arriving about 6:40). A reliable local car service is Chipping Campden cars, who will also do tours of Oxford if the traffic is daunting and time is short.
