This cottage embodies the quintessential Cotswolds experience. The interiors are warm and welcoming, made even cosier by the wood-burning stove in the living area. With a desk for remote work, a fully equipped kitchen, and a quaint courtyard garden, you'll have everything you need for a laid-back stay. It is a period home, so expect steep stairs, low ceilings, and exposed stone walls that add some much-loved character. In terms of location, you're just a five-minute drive from Cirencester. Eateries and cosy pubs abound in this area – perfect for nights when you don't feel like cooking.

Two Kings

Set within a 1,600-acre farm, this renovated stable is a slice of peace and a pop of colour in the Cotswold countryside. When you arrive you'll be greeted by a picture-perfect dream cottage, filled with the original oak beams, chic country flair, and a pretty master bedroom with a view and French doors into the garden. Your nearest neighbours are another stable, so the home is perfect for switching off all communication and settling in for a stay of walking, reading, and eating. The open-plan kitchen and lounge space is ideal for cooking together, as well as a comfy sofa in front of a log-burner, perfect for cuddling up after a day exploring. On sunny days, we love opening the French doors and letting in the fresh air, before wine and nibbles on the south-facing patio. If it gets cold, you can light the fire pit - which is also great for roasting marshmallows. The huge farm is open for exploring, with walks over fields, as well as to the farm's shop, where we love to stock up on food produced on the home's doorstep. The spot is in an excellent location for exploring some of the area’s most picturesque villages, while Cirencester and its smarter restaurants are only a 20-minute drive away.

Green Is The Colour

Combining a traditional stone exterior with a renovated interior, we found this former barn to be the perfect base for relaxing after an excursion into the Cotswolds. With a twin room that can be turned into a double, the home is ideal for both families or two couples. We love how cosy the living area is, with underfloor heating and a wood-burning stove being an antidote to any bracing weather outside. When it's sunny, the enclosed garden is great for games and letting the kids tire themselves out. Further afield, you'll find plenty of Cotswold villages accessible by foot.

The Dove's Wings

Located on the edge of the River Coln, this Grade II listed home is the ideal setting for a restorative rural escape. From the private garden with a barbecue to the sociable living space, every detail has been considered to ensure optimum comfort and relaxation. There is also a wood-burning fire in the living room – setting the tone for cosy gatherings. Outside, you can stroll to the nearest pub and there are walking trails straight from the door. It’s also just a short drive to beautiful spots like Bibury, Burford and Cirencester.

Peaceful Place

It’s no surprise this beautiful home was featured in House & Garden. One look at its carefully curated decor and you’ll know exactly why its interiors were lauded for their salvaged materials and keen sense of vintage design. 
 
Once an old tailor's workshop dating back to 1906, the owners have lovingly restored the original timber-framed and corrugated iron building, keeping much of its characterful history intact while bringing a freshness and individuality to its renovation through thoughtful repurposing.
 
The main living space stunningly contrasts vintage industrial pieces with contemporary modern furnishings to create a boutique atmosphere in which you’ll love relaxing. We love the warmth of the wooden panelling offset by the simple white floors, as well as the midnight blue walls courtesy of Farrow & Ball. The long, rustic dining table beckons celebratory meals and sets a tone of conviviality that is felt throughout, while a Czech pommel horse works as a coffee table next to a Victorian sofa, creating a blend of textures and eras that feels like a seamless step through history.  Factor in the industrial pendants hanging from the ceiling, not to mention the wonderfully comfortable bed dressed in Egyptian cotton sheets, as well as the gorgeous copper shower, and you’ve got everything you need for a singularly stylish stay. 
 
Your locale in the heart of the quintessential Cotswold village of Woodmancote makes it easy to explore this bucolic region, with countless picture-book towns and villages a short car journey away. Cirencester is a twelve-minute drive, Bibury is reachable in twenty-two, while Cheltenham is twenty-three minutes away by car. 


Thimble & Stitch

On a private estate in the heart of the Cotswolds, this grand, glass-fronted home sits right on the water at Lake Bowmoor. The wooden deck, furnished with luxury loungers, sofas and a dining table for the whole group, juts out over the calm lake and from here, you can spot ducks, swans and divers as you dine. To the side of the house, you’ve got your own eight-person motorboat for a cruise across the lake, and kayaks and paddleboards too. There’s a covered hot tub should you wish to unwind after. Glass doors to blend indoors with outdoors so you can pick one of the lavish circular sofas inside and still enjoy the sights and sounds of the lake with the doors pulled back. 

The kitchen is a haven of modernity, with a sub-zero wine fridge to keep whites crisp and cool and chiller cabinets for the barbecue salads. Gather the group at the banquet-sized dining table with its quirky egg chairs for a huge family meal and open up the doors to the lake view. There are plenty of mod cons to keep the group entertained, like the flatscreen TV, but also a collection of books and board games to make the most of the tranquillity of your location. Should you need to work remotely there are desks in the bedrooms and a dedicated office space with floor-to-ceiling windows.

On the estate, you’ve got plenty of activities to choose from, like wild swimming, a heated indoor pool, bicycle hire, spa days and a Go Ape adventure course. But if you want to get out and explore the area, Cirencester is a twenty-minute drive away and the idyllic Cotswolds village of Bibury fifteen minutes by car. 

The Glass Lakehouse

This honey-coloured home opens its doors to a refreshing Cotswolds escape. Tucked away in the village of Blockley, you can walk to the local pub and you’ll find easy access to hiking trails across the countryside. Street parking is available and you’ll have access to two outdoor patios – perfect for lazy summer afternoons. Inside, the reception rooms provide everything you could need for cosy evenings at home. It’s worth noting there are three floors here with steep stairs, but overall it’s a great option for families with the sweet addition of bunk beds in the second bedroom.

Cotswold Sun

Situated in the quiet village of Barnsley, this inviting cottage is the perfect base from which to explore the glorious Cotswold countryside. The exposed timber beams, solid oak floors and an inglenook fireplace are part of the restored interiors. And a smart Rangemaster cooker, freestanding bathtub and bright, floral print upholstery bring a modern-day feel to the place.  

If it’s chilly out, fire up the wood-burning stove and settle in with a cup of tea. But if the weather’s fine, bowl out into the garden for picnics or barbecues in the balmy sunshine. Spend afternoons exploring your surroundings – follow bridleways through rolling meadows or jump in the car to idyllic Bibury, a six-minute drive away. Visit the Farmer’s Market in Cirencester to pick up treats for later, then head back to your postcode from a well-earned gin and tonic in The Village Pub – it’s only a two-minute stroll from your doorstep.

Petunia Cottage

This charming first floor apartment is the perfect place to relax and enjoy your holiday in the Cotswolds. The apartment boasts stylish interiors, a spacious open plan living area and beautiful countryside views. Located near Burford, this fabulous dog friendly property is the perfect romantic base to explore the Cotswolds with loved ones or friends.

Windrush Heights

Instantly cosy, this characterful cottage is a true home away from home. With a log burner for winter months and a sunny courtyard come summer, you can enjoy every season here to the fullest. We love the traditional features, though there are low ceilings in the bedrooms and steep stairs – but hey, that's all part of the charm. One furry friend is welcome to tag along for a fee, and you'll find plenty of pup-approved walks (and pubs) in the local area. You're also not far from Bourton-on-the-Water, Stow-on-the-Wold, and Cheltenham when you're in the mood to explore.

Winchcombe Winner

Nestled away on a quiet winding road in the Cotswolds, this quaint country cottage will provide a great backdrop to countryside getaways with family and friends. Whether you're looking for a back-to-nature break filled with hiking trips and cycling routes, or a peaceful place to chill out and spend some quality time together, you'll find everything you need at this home-from-home.

Inside, the home has everything you'd expect from a classic countryside cottage – exposed beams, a wood burner fireplace and chintzy prints all make it feel like a home from a fairytale. You can spend sunny days out exploring the green and leafy surroundings of the home. Then, come back to cook up delicious feasts in the fully-equipped kitchen, and tuck in around the dining set. Enjoy chilly evenings costing up by the fireside with a cup of hot chocolate, before having a lovely soak in the bathtub to soothe tired muscles after long adventures around the Cotswolds.

Country Cotswolds

This Grade II listed home dates back 400 years and is the perfect place to experience rural countryside grandeur. It’s a splendid home for celebrations and special occasions, with more than enough room for fourteen guests. The house, which includes a high-ceilinged drawing room, French-style bedrooms, and even a yoga studio, sits within 13 acres of stunning gardens. The grounds also feature an outdoor heated pool, which little ones are sure to love. If you can tear yourselves away from the house, you’ll find Broadway and its shops and restaurants on your doorstep.
