White Hart Royal Hotel
The White Hart Royal combines a central location with the character of a historic coaching inn. Its Courtyard Restaurant and Snug Bar give you somewhere to eat or settle in for the evening without heading out again.
There is a range of room categories, from compact doubles to larger rooms. Compare the specific room descriptions when booking, particularly if extra space matters to you.
Before you book: the hotel does not have its own car park. Nearby parking is available, but check the arrangements before arriving. Breakfast depends on the rate selected, with both room-only and breakfast-inclusive options offered.

The Manor House Hotel
The Manor House is worth considering if you want gardens and a hotel setting while staying in the centre of Moreton. Its rooms overlook either the High Street or the gardens, giving you a choice of outlook as well as room style.
It makes a useful option for a break where you want to spend some time enjoying the hotel as well as exploring the surrounding area.
Before you book: parking is available at the front and rear. The hotel notes that the route from the rear car park includes a gravel path unsuitable for wheelchairs, so discuss access requirements directly before choosing a room.

The Swan Inn
The Swan is an eight-bedroom pub on the corner of Bourton Road and the High Street. It is an option for visitors who prefer a small pub stay with the town’s shops and places to eat nearby.
Its current website describes a breakfast arrangement with Lynwood & Co across the road. Check what is included in your chosen rate, along with the room’s bathroom arrangements, when booking.
Before you book: contact The Swan for current prices and any particular requirements. Older room rates and facilities descriptions may no longer apply.
The Redesdale
Previously known as the Redesdale Arms, The Redesdale is a historic High Street inn that has undergone refurbishment. Its updated pub, dining areas and terrace accompany individually designed bedrooms.
Consider it if you want a central base with somewhere to eat and relax when you return from a day exploring.
Before you book: you may still see the former name in older listings. Compare the current room descriptions and photographs when choosing your stay.
Check availability at The Redesdale.
The Bell Inn
The Bell offers five guest rooms in a traditional High Street pub. Each has an en-suite shower room, and a full English breakfast is available for overnight guests.
Its smaller size makes it worth considering if you prefer a pub with rooms to a larger hotel.
The Inn is reputedly the inspiration behind The Prancing Pony – the most famous Inn in J.R.R Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings – quite the claim to fame!
Before you book: parking is in the market place in front of the pub, rather than a private hotel car park. Pets are welcome by prior arrangement. If you prefer an early or quiet night, ask about any events planned during your stay.
Check availability at The Bell Inn.
Staying in Moreton without a car
If you’re arriving by train, start by checking the walking route from the station to your accommodation, particularly if you’ll have luggage. A central address also makes it easier to go out for dinner without arranging transport.
For trips beyond Moreton, plan the outward and return journeys before settling on your itinerary. Our guide to the Cotswolds without a car helps you work out where to base yourself and how to get around.
Before choosing your room
Compare the full cost for your dates, including breakfast and any parking or pet charges. Check the cancellation terms as well as the headline price.
Historic buildings can have very different rooms within the same property. If step-free access, a walk-in shower or a quieter room matters to you, confirm those details with the accommodation before booking.
