Hotels in Buckinghamshire

Buckinghamshire is famous for its mix of countryside and grand country houses. The Chiltern Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, run through the county and draw walkers and cyclists year-round. It’s also known as the setting for countless film and TV productions thanks to Pinewood Studios. On top of that, Buckinghamshire has ties to well-known figures like Roald Dahl, who lived in Great Missenden, and Prime Ministers who have used Chequers, the official country residence, just outside Aylesbury.

The county is known for its picture-perfect landscapes, historic estates such as Waddesdon Manor and Cliveden, and its links to literature and history. Many people also know it for Bekonscot, the world’s oldest model village and the Roald Dahl Museum & Story Centre. Food lovers know Buckinghamshire for its farm shops and cosy pubs, while nature fans enjoy its scenic walks and the wildlife in the Chilterns.

Buckinghamshire itself is a county in Southeast England. It doesn’t contain other counties, but it borders several: Oxfordshire, Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Berkshire and Greater London.

Buckinghamshire is neither a city nor a town – it’s a county. Within it are towns like Aylesbury, High Wycombe, Buckingham and Marlow, along with lots of villages and hamlets.

You can really get a taste for English grandeur in Buckinghamshire, with rolling hills, grand houses and plenty of green space to explore. We’ve got loads of handy hotels nearby, perfect for checking out historic estates – though Chequers, the Prime Minister’s country home, isn’t open to visitors. There’s plenty for families too, like following the Roald Dahl Trail, popping into the Roald Dahl Museum & Story Centre or spending a fun afternoon at Bekonscot Model Village, the Chiltern Open Air Museum or the Buckinghamshire Railway Centre with its steam trains. If you’re into history, don’t miss places like Waddesdon Manor, Hughenden Manor or the gardens at Stowe and Cliveden. Outdoorsy types will love walking up Coombe Hill for amazing views or relaxing with a picnic in Langley Park. And if you’re keeping an eye on the budget, we’ve got great value hotels close to transport links so you can easily get around and make the most of your trip.

Definitely! Whether you’re into stately homes, cosy market towns or scenic walks, Buckinghamshire has plenty to keep you busy. It’s close to London, making it easy to reach for a day trip or a longer stay. You can spend mornings exploring grand gardens, afternoons walking in the hills and evenings enjoying great food in a traditional pub. There’s also lots of family-friendly attractions, with museums, trails and outdoor spaces that the kids love.

The county town is Aylesbury, which is where the council and main services are based. High Wycombe is the largest town by population, while Buckingham, Marlow and Beaconsfield are also popular spots with visitors.

Adults visiting Buckinghamshire can enjoy a mix of history, culture and the outdoors. Spend a day exploring Waddesdon Manor, Cliveden or Hughenden Manor for a taste of stately home life. Wander the landscaped gardens of Stowe or take a hike up Coombe Hill for panoramic views. Wine enthusiasts can visit local vineyards, while foodies will enjoy farmers’ markets, cosy pubs and riverside dining in Marlow. For something different, take a steam train ride at the Buckinghamshire Railway Centre or catch a performance at Wycombe Swan Theatre. And if you’re after a slower pace, just strolling through pretty market towns with a coffee in hand is a treat in itself.
