Find stays near Westonbirt Arboretum on the map ↓A rural hotel at Westonbirt keeps the break focused on the trees and an evening at the property; Tetbury adds a town stay and a small museum visit. The Hare & Hounds offers rooms across several buildings, including named accessible rooms, while The Close places the evening on Long Street. Choose the base first, then match the arboretum day to the season. Forestry England strongly advises advance booking for 25 September to 15 November 2026, when autumn visits are particularly busy.
FIND YOUR BASE
The Hare & Hounds is on Bath Road at Westonbirt, with main-house, Coach House and Silkwood Court rooms. It suits a hotel dinner and a separate arboretum day.
Good for: A country-hotel stay near the trees.
Before you choose: Confirm the route to the visitor entrance rather than assuming the hotel grounds connect directly. Some bedrooms are outside the main building.
The Close offers a Long Street townhouse stay with a garden and individual room categories. It suits a Tetbury evening and a short local museum visit.
Good for: A town base with more to do around the overnight stay.
Before you choose: The arboretum needs a separate journey. Check bed width, room access and the hotel’s own parking instructions.

ROOM FOR YOUR NEXT TRIP
The Hare & Hounds offers a rural stay with distinct outbuilding, family and accessible categories. The Close makes Tetbury the evening base, with its own individual bed and bathroom choices.
Rural hotel rooms across the Main House, Coach House and Silkwood Court include named wet-room options and an adjoining family layout.
Before you book: Confirm the exact building, complete room route and bed arrangement. A room in an outbuilding may require an outdoor walk to dining; private terraces and hot tubs belong only to specified categories.

A Long Street hotel with a garden and individual room choices supports a Tetbury evening and separate arboretum outing.
Before you book: Confirm the entrance and complete room route, actual beds and parking. A ground-floor label alone does not settle access needs. Choose a larger bed explicitly if a four-foot double is too narrow.

FAMILY BREAKS
The Hare & Hounds Family Room has a double bedroom with an adjoining room set as a double or twin. Confirm the configuration; at The Close, explicitly request the intended double or twin arrangement.
QUIET BREAKS
A rural Hare & Hounds night suits visitors wanting hotel time around the arboretum. Choose the room building and reserve dinner, leaving the shorter Tetbury stop for another day if autumn entry is busy.
A LITTLE ROOM TO EXPLORE
Let the main tree collection occupy its own day, then use Tetbury for a smaller indoor visit before departure.
Confirm the exact building, beds and dinner. At the rural hotel, Lime and Pine are named Silkwood Court accessible rooms with wet rooms; reserve the required one directly.
Follow the current map through the Old Arboretum or Silk Wood as appropriate for dogs and mobility. Leave enough time for the Tree Top Walkway and a pause without trying to cover every path.
If open on departure day, make a short visit to the former police station on Long Street. The museum and cells are downstairs, while the courtroom and toilet are upstairs; ask about limited wheelchair access before relying on this stop.
Less time? For one night, concentrate on the arboretum and hotel dinner. Leave the museum out if its opening or access does not suit, rather than hurrying the tree walk.
BEFORE YOU CHOOSE
For 25 September to 15 November 2026, Forestry England strongly advises pre-booking to guarantee entry. Check the chosen date before reserving an inflexible room, and treat future autumn arrangements as a new calendar to confirm.
No. Dogs are welcome in Silk Wood but not the Old Arboretum or events, except assistance dogs. Plan the route around that division and follow the current lead signs in connecting areas.
Adult and older-child cycling is not permitted inside. Arriving cyclists can use the bike racks; check the separate current rules for small children’s bikes and scooters instead of assuming all family bikes are allowed.
The arboretum advertises wheelchair, mobility-scooter and Trike wheelchair hire. Arrange the equipment and route in advance, and discuss the complete hotel room access separately; an accessible bedroom does not settle the woodland route.
No. Motorhomes and caravans may park during the visit, with larger vehicles directed to coach parking, but cannot remain overnight. Arrange a lawful overnight pitch or accommodation separately.
