Rural hideout celebrities are flocking to
Celebrities have been ditching city life and flocking to the Cotswolds — a picturesque region in the English countryside that offers unparalleled luxury and privacy. Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, recently set up camp in the ritzy neighbourhood, which is a known favourite among the Hollywood elite. The former talk show host, 67, and 'Arrested Development' alum left Los Angeles five months ago after buying a sprawling farmhouse in the area in South West England, nearly two hours from London, the New York Post reports. The couple forked over an eye-popping $US18 million ($A28 million) — some $US3 million ($A4.7 million) over the asking price for the stunning property. TMZ reported that while the duo had purchased their UK home in June, months before Donald Trump's second presidential win, their decision to 'get the hell out' of America was cemented by his victory. DeGeneres was an outspoken supporter of Harris during the 2024 presidential election, publicly endorsing her in a post shared on Instagram. While it's not clear exactly why the pair decided on the Cotswolds, the region is a picturesque and wealthy part of England. Celebrities who call the Cotswolds home DeGeneres' star-studded list of neighbours includes David and Victoria Beckham, Kate Moss, Elizabeth Hurley, Hugh Grant and Jeremy Clarkson, who owns a successful farm shop and pub in the area. Other known residents include Scottish DJ Calvin Harris, singer Lily Allen and artist Damien Hirst. The location is also home to royalty, as King Charles and Queen Camilla own Highgrove House in Gloucestershire. According to the Daily Mail, Beyoncé and her husband, Jay-Z, are looking to follow suit and snap up a property in the swanky neighbourhood. Properties aside, the area sees large amounts of celebrities come and go each month thanks to the several luxurious hotels that are peppered around the region. 'Get the hell out': Ellen's sad goodbye Lucknam Park This includes Lucknam Park, a five-star oasis located in the luscious area of Chippenham. The hotel, which is set in 500 acres of listed parkland, has recently welcomed a host of famous faces, including Donatella Versace, Kylie Minogue and Jerry Hall, The Post revealed. The main house, which dates back to the 17th century, sits atop a mile-long driveway, which is lined with 200-year-old lime and beech trees, and is located just 30 minutes away from the picturesque city of Bath. The estate also offers Michelin-starred dining at Restaurant Hywel Jones, which is often frequented by A-listers. The restaurant recently celebrated its 20th consecutive year holding a Michelin star. The grand property had been previously passed down through several families before opening its doors as a hotel. Its current owners snapped it up in 1994, but preserved the historic elements of the estate where possible. The Lygon Arms Those wanting a more central location often stay at the Lygon Arms — a historic 4-star hotel that boasts close proximity to cinematic landmarks, such as 'Downton Abbey' and 'Bridget Jones's Diary' filming locations. The hotel is set in Broadway — a stunning village in the Cotswolds that offers wisteria-adorned stone cottages and Disney-like buildings surrounding it. Beyond famous film sets, guests can feel like an A-lister through the hotel's partnership with Cotswold Tours & Travel, which offers an array of sightseeing trips in and around the area. These include — but aren't limited to — the ultimate set-jetting experience, which includes a tour of the nearby Blenheim Palace and a chance to uncover the area's hidden gems. The hotel proudly dates back to the 14th century. Over the years, its hosted some famous historical figures and celebrities, including Oliver Cromwell, King Charles I, Prince Phillip, Richard Burton, Elizabeth Taylor and Cary Grant. More recently, the hotel has been frequented by James Bond alum Pierce Brosnan, Renée Zellweger, Grant and Sophia Loren, The Post revealed. The sprawling lodge offers guests 86 individually designed rooms to choose from, and boasts two restaurants helmed by British chef supremo James Martin.
