ABOUT US

Luxury at your fingertips

Cotswold Cloche was created with a singular mission in mind: to ensure you have the best stay possible in the Cotswolds.

Our Founder

Cotswold Cloche is the brainchild of Andrew Michelin, owner of COCOS Hotel and Keyonna Beach in Antigua.

After visiting the Cotswolds, he fell in love with the area and its quintessential charm, but was frustrated by not being able to easily find the products and services he required. With millions of visitors to the Cotswolds every year, Andrew realised he couldn’t be the only person in need of reliable information.

As a result, Cotswold Cloche was born, providing visitors and locals with everything they need to maximise their Cotswolds experience.
