This cosy cottage is set within the picturesque grounds of a working farm, just a six-minute drive from the historic market town of Faringdon. A converted farm building, bursting with character, it's a warm and cosy rural escape for a family or group of friends. Pack your best walking boots and come ready to explore your surroundings, including quaint villages, traditional pubs and riverside walks along the Thames – you'll find it just at the bottom of the field. Hop in the car and explore the Cotswolds – it's just a thirty-minute drive to idyllic Bibury to feed the fish at the Trout Farm. After a long day out, you'll come back to this comfortable haven with underfloor heating, a log-burning stove and quintessential farm views from every room. We particularly love the master bedroom, which is accessed up its own staircase – perfect if you value a bit of peace and privacy. And with each bedroom boasting its own en-suite (even if you have to nip down some stairs to reach one of them) there won't be any queueing for the shower each morning.
