The epitome of cosy, this stunning country cottage in the heart of the Cotswold is brimming with character. Original features including exposed wooden beams, wood-burning stoves and stone infrastructure contrast with heaps of personality against the otherwise modern interiors. Outside, a beautifully manicured garden presents a peaceful space to relax during the warmer months. While a luminous conservatory lounge grants you the garden experience in warmer temperatures during the cooler months. We particularly love the warm and welcoming aesthetic of the dining room – think furry rugs, stone flooring and shabby chic furnishings. Select a book from the home library and curl up in the living room for snuggly nights in front of the fire. For when you do feel like exploring the local area, discover the highly sought-after country inns, eateries, tea rooms and boutiques, all within walking distance.
