Bibury in the Cotswolds was once called the ‘most beautiful village in England’ by designer William Morris. So it’s not surprising it’s a top destination for film makers both in the UK and from Hollywood. But did you know you can actually stay in one of the honey-coloured stone weavers’ cottages on historic Arlington Row? Read more: ‘Most beautiful village in England’ is just a short drive down the M5 from Birmingham Read next: The Peak District cottage ‘perfect for walking breaks’ with a hot tub to unwind afterwards This world-famous street was featured in the dreamy film Stardust, starring Michelle Pfieffer, Clare Danes and Robert De Niro and it appeared in Bridget Jones Diary, starring Renée Zellweger, Hugh Grant and Jim Broadbent. Built in the 14th century as a monastic wool store, Arlington Row was converted into weavers’ cottages in the 17th century. The end terrace, Number 1 , has a private garden through which you enter the cottage, and boasts original blackened beams and a traditional stone fireplace in the sitting room. It’s National Trust-run and sleeps six. You can also book out 9 Arlington Row , which sleeps three at the other end of the terrace. For larger groups, there’s Arlington Mill just down the road. This iconic place dates back to the Doomsday Book and still contains its original wheels and old machinery but they are no longer working. Set across four floors, this vast building sleeps up to 13 guests with two huge living rooms, a smart kitchen and five bedrooms and five bathrooms. There are two pubs within a two-minute walk and Bibury Trout Farm is next door across the river and tea rooms nearby. Just over an hour from Birmingham , this is an idyllic weekend retreat that feels a world away from the hustle and bustle of Birmingham without the long drive.
