Accommodation

Getting Across the Pond

For guests traveling from the United States, the easiest way to reach the Cotswolds is by flying into London Heathrow (LHR), which offers the most direct international routes. From Heathrow, Hyll Hotel is approximately a 1.5–2 hour drive through the countryside. Once you arrive, you have a few options: Private Car ServiceThe most seamless and comfortable option—especially after a long flight. We recommend pre-booking a private transfer from Heathrow directly to Hyll or your nearby accommodations. Services such as Blacklane, Addison Lee, and other local luxury car providers offer reliable, door-to-door service. Train + TaxiFor those who prefer rail travel, you can take a train from London Paddington to Kingham or Moreton-in-Marsh (approximately 1.5 hours). From either station, the venue is just a 10–20 minute taxi ride. Taxis are typically available at the station, though advance booking is recommended. Rental CarRenting a car is a great option if you’d like to explore the Cotswolds during your stay. Please note that driving is on the left side of the road in the UK. Guests flying into London Gatwick (LGW) can also reach the Cotswolds via train (with a connection through London) or by car service, though travel time may be slightly longer. For guests staying off-site during the wedding weekend, we recommend arranging local taxis in advance for travel to and from the venue. Reliable local companies will be available closer to the date, and your hotel or Airbnb host can also assist with bookings. We recommend planning your journey in advance and allowing additional time for transfers, particularly during the busy summer travel season.

Things to Do

A Friendly Guide to Each Other

(aka same language, different font)

We’re so excited to have some of our favorite people from both sides of the Atlantic all in one place. To ensure maximum fun (and just a little bit of chaos), we’ve put together a completely unnecessary, but hopefully entertaining guide.

For the Brits

Guide to the Americans...

Yes, they really are that friendlyAmericans don’t need an introduction to start chatting—they’ll happily strike up a conversation anywhere, anytime. This is normal, and we promise—it’s genuine. Texans will bring energyExpect big personalities, lots of laughter, and very strong hospitality. You may be offered a drink within 30 seconds. Accept it. Volume levels may be higher than usualExcitement can come across as enthusiasm… and sometimes a bit of volume. It’s all part of the charm. “How are you?” requires more than “fine”It’s not just a greeting—it’s an invitation for a quick, upbeat response. “Good, how are you?” works perfectly.

For the Americans

Guide to the Brits...

Understatement is a sportIf something is described as “quite nice,” it’s exceptional. If something is “not ideal,” it may be catastrophic. Read between the lines. Apologizing is a reflexYou’ll likely hear “sorry” even when no one is at fault. This is normal. No one is apologizing to you—just go with it. Queueing is serious businessLines will be respected at all costs. Even in situations where there isn’t really a line… there somehow is. Dry humor is constantIf you’re not sure whether something is a joke, it is. Probably.

Mind the Gap (and the Accents)

The dress code for the welcome party is cocktail attire. We recommend suits or jackets for men, and cocktail dresses, midi dresses, or chic separates for women. Think polished and festive—an elevated look to kick off the weekend, while still relaxed and comfortable.

Our wedding will be black tie, and we kindly ask guests to dress accordingly for an elevated and celebratory evening. Tuxedos are required for men. For women, we recommend floor-length gowns or elegant formal dresses. Think classic, refined, and timeless. As the celebration will take place in the countryside, please keep this in mind when selecting footwear—stilettos may be difficult on grass, so a block heel or alternative is encouraged. We can’t wait to see everyone dressed to celebrate with us in style.
