Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • If you like cottages and small villages, try a tour of the Cotswolds.
  • If you want a bit of nature, you could consider somewhere like the Cotswolds, but without a car it’s slightly more effort.
  • Spending far too much time in London and Edinburgh missing the Cotswolds the lake district Wales any many other real place rather than the tourist traps.
  • I live in the Cotswolds. With a small radius you can see William Morris's house, go canoeing down the Thames and eat excellent Asian fusion or award winning seafood.
  • London. Maybe couple it with Cambridge or the Cotswolds.

Cons

  • For the UK route: The Cotswolds need at least 2 nights to properly explore since you need a car (or very patient bus schedules). If you only have time for one, do Bath - easier logistics and still gives you that English countryside charm.
  • I would never recommend Cotswolds as a day trip, too far to do much more than get out of a bus and have a cake.

Cotswolds could be a good option, I believe you can even do a day trip from London through a tour company such as Get Your Guide. Have a great time!

Cornwall, cotswolds or the Peak District get my vote.
