Nestled away on a quiet lane in rural Cotswolds is this beautiful detached cottage that dates back hundreds of years. Its characterful stone exterior is perfectly paired with charming windows and climbing wisteria, whilst its peaceful valley setting means you’ll feel relaxed from the moment you step out of the car. With space for up to 6 guests, it’ll be easy to stay put. But, venture out to the surrounding villages and towns to discover fantastic foodie ties and breathtaking country walks.

The space
Full of old-warm charm and rustic beauty, this cottage makes for a delightful escape for up to six in the country. The spacious, multi-level garden is a real haven in the warmer months; trees sing with wildlife and there’s a pretty courtyard area for alfresco meals in the sun. Inside, every corner of the cottage oozes with character and charm: from aged ceiling beams to traditional exposed stonework. Perfectly paired with tasteful antique furniture and contemporary furnishings, care and consideration have been taken to ensure your stay is as comfortable as possible.

Spanning three floors, there’s plenty of space for all kinds of activities. On the lower ground you’ll find a handy utility room as well as a snug for movie nights, which is also where the sofa bed is located. Here you'll also find a newly refurbished shower room and separate toilet. There's also a desk here for those on a work trip or working holiday.

Next door is a fantastic farmhouse kitchen with an AGA and a huge range of appliances too, including a coffee machine and grill. Up on the ground floor, enjoy board games by the fire in the formal sitting room, gather around the dining table for sociable feasts or unwind with the latest bestseller in the light and bright conservatory. Two bedrooms are found on the upper levels, boasting glimpses out to the beautiful English garden and finished with homely touches. Both share a bathroom with a shower and bath unit. With free private parking for two vehicles, the cottage is the perfect base for a memorable Cotswolds getaway.

Dogs are welcome with a fee of £20/dog (max 2). It is also on the condition they are kept off sofas and out of bedrooms. Sadly we cannot accept cats or other pets for allergy reasons.

Other things to note

Neighbourhood highlights

The cottage is nestled on a rural lane with nothing but peaceful countryside all around. That said, the village convenience store and Hog pub are less than 10 minutes walk away. Furthermore, it is also just a stones throw to the pretty town of Nailsworth which sits on the River Frome and boasts an enticing combination of award-winning restaurants, pubs and cafés, as well as some fabulous independent shops. The town has a flourishing farmers’ market and a great choice of vintage stores. Over the last few years, it has secured a place on the Cotswold foodie map, with increasingly recognised eateries opening such as William’s Fish Market, Food Hall & Oyster Bar, Hobbs House Bakery and the highly-regarded Wilder.

To the south of the cottage and within a 10 minute drive is the brilliant Wild Carrot at Chavenage, where you can enjoy cocktails in the old barn, sustainably-driven food in the café or afternoon tea in the picturesque grounds. Nearby is also Calcot Manor Hotel, set within 220 acres of rewilded Cotswolds countryside. Feast in their restaurant or treat yourself to a well-deserved spa day! For sports lovers, Forest Green Rovers FC is about 15 minutes away, the Beaufort and Cirencester Polo Clubs are short drives away, and Cheltenham racecourse is around 45 minutes by car.

There’s so much to do in this beautiful corner of England: discover the charming Cotswolds villages and towns or set off on walks in every direction. Tetbury is a must-visit for antique lovers, as is Stroud for its weekly farmers’ market that runs every Saturday. Walkers and nature lovers will adore Westonbirt Arboretum, which is a real spectacle in the spring and autumn months. Plus, there are countless National Trust properties and gardens to explore - you simply can’t get bored.
