Cotswold Teacup Tours

I am immensely grateful for the wonderful reviews I receive from my tour guests. My business is small and I keep my standards high by not employing other guides to run my tours. I deliver all my tours myself so that I can be sure that each one is exactly as I would like it to be and meets my guests’ needs and interests. I aim for every single guest to receive the VIP treatment… and also to have a lot of fun and laughter along the way. #besttours #bestguides #cotswoldteacuptours #cotswolds #bestcotswoldtours #thecotswolds

This is all rather silly, and I really hope it doesn’t put anyone off booking a tour with me, but sometimes funny thoughts need to be shared. Can deer have twins?? That’s the topic of the day folks.

There’s tea and there’s gardens. That sounds like a Cotswold Teacup Tour in progress! #cotswoldgarden #cotswoldteacuptours #englishgarden #englishgardens #englishlavender

This is one of the most impressive Cotswold venues for lunch and (extremely posh furniture shopping). @rh_restorationhardware I have brought a few tour guests here to dine in the Orangerie at Aynho Park for lunch. Sometimes you just have to break free from the cosy Cotswold pub and immerse yourself in an utterly sophisticated country mansion. This place really is special, #aynhoepark #rhengland #cotswold #cotswoldteacuptours #cotswolds

Just a quick Saturday evening catch up from me. Hope you’re all enjoying a lovely weekend. Time to switch off phone and relax. Toodledo. Xx #cotswoldflowers #cotswolds @themodernchauffeur #cotswold #cotswoldlife #cotswoldculture

A day in the English countryside and an example of what we might see whilst on our Cotswold Tour. #englishcountryside #visitbritain #englishcountrygarden #meadow #britishpubs #thecotswolds

A short taster of our weekend in Padstow, Cornwall. It was an indulgent foodie weekend but we managed to get a few walks in too. I absolutely love this area of England. We dined at Nathan Outlaws restaurant in Port Isaac, then went on to Padstow to St Petrocs Bistro and Rick Steins Seafood Restaurant for dinner on Friday and Saturday nights. Great little lunch on Saturday at Little Prawn. First time away in ages for us, so I think our mega treat was well earned! We managed to haul ourselves out early on Saturday morning to get these shots before the crowds arrived. Well worth the effort! @prawnonthelawn #prawnonthelawn #rickstein #stpetrocsbistro #nathanoutlaw

Just back from a weekend in Cornwall. Look at these two seagull chicks taking their daily shower! #padstow #stedmundshouse #rickstein #seagull

Sorry I haven’t posted in days! Oh deary me. But I do have tonnes of pretty shots to catch up on and show you. This was drinkypoos in the meadow last week watching the sun set until the cat stole the show! Grab a drink and rela######x. #cotswold #sunset #englishcountryside #englishcountrygarden #the_cotswolds

Thank you lovely lovely Teacup people of the world . #cotswoldteacuptours

A serene scene for you. A moment of escapism. This is St Edwards church in Stow on the Wold. I caught a quiet moment for reflection and admired the ancient church, the gravestones slowly sinking into the ground, the churchyard daisies and the oh so blue sky. I wish I could write a poem about this. @alunazores72 #cotswoldteacuptours #stedwardsstowonthewold #stowonthewold #churchyard #cotswolds #cotswoldlife

Such a sweet family toured with me today. I created a tour that would entertain the parents and also keep the little ones happy. We included the best play parks, lots of animal spotting, food stops to please everyone, the model village at Bourton on the Water, and a princess’ tower but fortunately the dragon wasn’t at home. Whew. Lovely day, full of singing, giggling and general silliness from me. I am ready for my nap time!#cotswoldteacuptours #travelwithkids #cotswoldlife #cotswolds_culture #britishholiday

No filters here. Just me fiddling about in the garden showing off my lovely flowers what I grew. #cotswoldteacuptours #gardening #cotswoldgarden #britishflowers #cotswolds #dontwanttogoinside

It’s Chelsea Flower Show time, and I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to show off some of the beautiful blooms I have seen these past few days whilst out on my tours, here in the Cotswolds. Most of these images are from my ultimate favourite gardens in England - Hidcote Gardens near to Chipping Campden. . @ntcotswolds @hidcotent #cotswoldteacuptours #cotswoldgardens #chelseaflowershow

Oh! The wisteria right now is fully in bloom. Yesterday I took a couple on a gardens tour around some of my favourite places in the Cotswolds. This is Rousham, near to Oxford. #cotswoldgardens #cotswolds #englishgardens #victoriamagazine #gardens

A happy afternoon ahead for me today after my lovely tour, when I shall be playing in the garden and fiddling about in the dirt. Hooray. And it’s sunny again (ish). #bbcgardenersworld #montydon #englishgarden #cotswoldflowers #thecotswolds #cotswoldteacuptours

Good morning lovely people. I am in Cheltenham this morning, just about to start today’s tour with 3 fabulous ladies. I may have arrived a little bit early. I may have stopped in a waffle cafe and I may have ordered a maple and apple waffle for breakfast. I can neither deny nor confirm. 🧇🍏☕️#cheltenham #cotswolds #cotswoldlife

I have just returned from another fabulous tour into the deepest Cotswolds. Today I created a very special tour for my guest. We went to villages and towns which are a little bit more off the beaten track. We started out at Woodstock, to get a coffee from the Buttery Tearoom and strolled around the town. We peeped in through the gates of Blenheim Palace, waved hello to my brilliant shoe mender, passed the butchers, green grocers and went on our way to Great Tew. It can get busy here at weekends but today it was quiet and we listened to the birdsong and admired all the thatched cottages here. Next stop was Charlbury, where we walked the circuit around the village, and explored the Victorian gravestones in the churchyard. We couldn’t resist stopping at the fabulous Bell pub for lunch. She had fish and chips and a cider to drink, and I had scampi and local asparagus. Both were delicious! We finished the afternoon by popping to Jaffe and Neale bookshop in Chipping Norton and then a visit to Daylesford, because you just have to go there sometimes. I did purchase the most expensive cup of takeaway tea I have ever paid for (£4.25!?!), but then that’s my fault for not packing my little jetboil which enables me to boil water when I’m out and about!(I am a resourceful woman when it comes to life’s necessities) We were about to head back to the pick up point when my guest mentioned one of her favourite authors. Barbara Pym. Somewhere in my mind I recollected that I have passed the house she lived in many times. So I pulled over to a safe place, updated the route, and off we went to visit Barbara’s house. This little epiphany of mine might have been the highlight of the whole day for my guest. That and the amazing fish and chips she said 😀. So, all in all, another great day. Off to check the seedlings now. Toodledo. #jaffaandneale #chippingnorton #woodstock #wakeuptowoodstock #charlbury #cotswolds #thecotswolds

Trying something new. I wondered if my tour routes might be of use to you folks when you are planning your visits to the Cotswolds xx #cotswolds_culture #thecotswolds #Cotswolds
