About Us

Who are we?

We are Katie and Ben, we’re a couple who live in the Cotswolds. Ben has lived in the Cotswolds all his life and Katie moved here about 5 years ago.

Like many people we’ve spoken to, we’re guilty of sticking to what we know, this time last year we had barely explored much more of the Cotswolds than the town we live in and certainly hadn’t been to all the beauty spots that people travel far and wide to see.

We decided that we wanted a project to get us out to make the most of the wonderful area and so Cotswold Reviews was born. We wanted to create something that helps everyone get excited about what the Cotswolds has to offer and help you enjoy all that this fabulous destination has to offer from gorgeous countryside walks, amazing camping experiences and scenery to yummy restaurants and beautiful accommodation. 

We aim to make our site as helpful and as inclusive as possible and give you tips, advice and plans for how to spend your time when you are here. We do as much as we can first-hand and write about our experiences but we do sometimes use the recommendations of others until we have had the chance to visit the destinations ourselves. 

We certainly aren’t professional photographers, hotel reviewers or food critics, but whenever we do a review, we will be sure to give you our honest opinions and make it as useful as possible. We sometimes use affiliate links on our site, this will not cost you anything but may give us a small commission if you did click on it and decide to book something from our site.  

If you have any ideas or places you think we should visit please let us know! 

We look forward to exploring the Cotswolds with you! 

Katie and Ben
