The Cotswolds
The Cat and Custard Pot is situated in the pretty village of Shipton Moyne , in the heart of the South Cotswolds. The historic towns of Tetbury and Malmesbury are within a stone’s throw and we are very close to Westonbirt, the National Arboretum and Highgrove, with its magical gardens.
The cities of Bath Spa and Bristol , both of which have a multitude of historical and cultural attractions , are approximately 25 miles away and for equestrian sports enthusiasts, Badminton and Gatcombe Horse Trials, Cheltenham Racecourse and the Beaufort Polo Club are within easy reach.
We are in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and there are many wonderful walks directly from our front door. We welcome well-behaved dogs.
