A honey coloured stone cottage, right in the heart of Tetbury conservation district. The sleek designer interior includes a cosy living room, and romantic four poster bed under historic eaves whilst a pretty enclosed courtyard is a perfect place to relax.

Within five minutes stroll of the historic centre with it is in a great location for exploring the town whilst Tetbury is an excellent base for visiting King Charles' Highgrove and touring the southern Cotswolds.

A perfect romantic retreat.

The space
Tetbury cottage dates back to the 18th century and has plenty of traditional charm. Recently refurbished from top to bottom there is now a stylish and modern interior that pays respect to the historic building.

The owners, an art advisor and interior designer, have taken great care in creating a unique interior of great style in a restoration of the highest quality. Original features have been retained with some beamed ceilings, whilst the exterior appearance of Cotswold stone walls is protected in the Conservation District rules.

You are greeted on the the ground level by an open-plan area with a well equipped kitchen and dining area with super comfortable chairs. The kitchen is fully fitted with usual facilities plus extras like a Nespresso machine and dishwasher.

From here a spiral staircase climbs up to the atmopsheric first floor lounge with its deep, velvet sofa and a soft Berber rug. There is a giant smart TV with freesat and access to digital channels (your own log in required).

The idyllic bedroom has a beautiful four poster bed with an ultra comfortable sprung mattress, Soak & Sleep bedding and crisp white linen. A hand-made throw is of Welsh wool from the Highgrove Shop. There is a TV with terrestrial channels.

The ensuite shower room (no door from bedroom) has unlimited hot water, deep pile towels and large pots of eco-friendly Faith in Nature toiletries.

Outside a private courtyard garden, with a table for 2 and a bench plus atmospheric lighting, is perfect for end of day relaxation.

Note that the property is on a road and close to the town centre. There are no shops, bars or pubs etc in earshot but there is likely to be some traffic noise.

Other things to note
Up to 2 pets are allowed (pref ground floor only, note spiral stairs) upon payment of a small fee, for which bowls, towel and treats are supplied.

Neighbourhood highlights

Tetbury is a pretty and historic town, often called the southern gateway to the Cotswolds.

With its Royal connections, the honey-coloured stone buildings provide a quintessential English charm. Boasting the most antique shops in the UK, along with many pubs and restaurants serving great food and local ales.

It is close to the heart of the scenic Cotswold region. Just a mile away is King Charles' Highgrove where a garden tour is a must (pre book!). A few miles farther is the acclaimed Westonbirt Arboretum.

Tetbury Cottage is a perfect base from which to relax or explore. There are pretty local towns like Nailsworth, Stroud or Minchinhampton whilst major attractions like Cirencester, Stow, Chipping Camden and Burford or bigger destinations like Bath and Cheltenham are within about 45 minutes drive.

Farther afield for day trips are Shakespeare's Stratford, Stonehenge, Blenheim Palace and the dreaming spires of Oxford.

There are excellent gastro-pubs like The Bell at Sapperton, Trouble House Inn, Potting Shed and Wild Duck at Ewen all within just ten minutes drive.

For special occasions there are critically acclaimed destinations like Barnsley House, Calcot Manor or The Rectory at Crudwell.

For walks The Cotswold Way, Monarchs Way and source of the Thamesare just down the road.

However, you don't always need 'destinations'. One of the delights of the Cotswolds is touring the picturesque country lanes and discovering picture postcard villages where the tourist buses never venture. Relax in the garden of the village cafe or by the fire in the historic pub.

All our local recommendations and secrets are revealed in your cottage welcome guide.
