If you’re in search of an easygoing Cotswolds getaway, this home makes a great option. You’ll find it’s just a short drive or bus ride into the heart of Gloucester city centre, while Cheltenham is also within easy reach. There is a large private garden and the open-plan living room and kitchen lends itself perfectly to social gatherings. It’s worth noting this home isn’t suitable for infants or children, but we think it makes a great spot for a refreshing adults-only escape.

Private farmland surrounds this stunning converted barn, a traditional slice of countryside tranquillity. There's a delicate balance of modern grandeur and tasteful tradition here. The fresh decor complements vaulted ceilings, flagstone floors, barn doors and oak beams, while the snug sitting room hosts a log burner and the general feel of bucolic cosiness. Reached via the stunning glass-paned walkway, each bedroom has its own stylish design, complete with an en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet. One en-suite has a delight of a free-standing bathtub, another almost feels like a woodland sauna. Socialise in the large country-style, open-plan kitchen and dining area, with top-of-the-range appliances to make life that little bit easier. Outside, the courtyard’s comfortable seating and peaceful surroundings invite you to fire up the gas barbecue and while away the evening. Or enjoy your morning coffee in the lush gardens before a day of exploring – it's just a short drive to dozens of Cotswolds villages. Drive to the achingly quaint market town of Chipping Norton in just thirty-seven minutes with nearby Hook Norton offering great local beers from one of the area's most popular breweries – it's always worth a visit. This is a home where life on the farm is a thrill, and staying in a barn feels the height of luxury.

Blending the atmosphere of a traditional country cottage with modern, open-plan living, we think Wych Elm is an incredible home for an authentic country getaway. The original features, like the working fireplace and traditional windows, make the space feel cosy despite the large size. With ample space for socialising, it would suit a larger group looking to be well-placed to explore the charming villages of the Cotswolds.

Situated on a historic private estate in the heart of Gloucestershire, this dreamy cottage is the perfect setting for your next family getaway to the Cotswolds. 

You’d be hard-pressed to find a cosier base than this – boasting a snug living room complete with soft throws and a toasty fireplace, this is the kind of place we all dream of coming home to after a chilly day in the English countryside. Warm up with a cup of tea on the sofa or head upstairs to the family bathroom for a relaxing bubble bath before drifting off to sleep in one of the cottage's quiet bedrooms.

The next morning, start your day with a breakfast of locally produced organic goodies from the local farm shop or – if the weather’s on your side – head out to the garden and soak up some sun. This is the perfect place for little ones and four-legged friends to roam but there’s plenty to explore in the local area if you fancy a change of scenery. Breathe in the sweet scent of lime blossom as you travel down the 800-metre private road leading out of the estate – with Westonbirt Arboretum, Berkeley Castle, and The Cotswold Water Park all within striking distance, you've got plenty of destinations to choose from so why not ditch the GPS and see where the day takes you?

Sugar & Lime

This is a stunning home in the beautiful village of Little Compton, near Moreton-in-Marsh. The property is situated in the heart of the Cotswolds and offers easy access to all the area has to offer. The cottage sleeps up to 6 guests and has three bedrooms, a spacious living room and a well-equipped kitchen. The property also has a private garden and a patio, where you can relax and enjoy the stunning views.

Perfect for families, this home is located in a quiet residential area just a short drive from Gloucester’s city centre. It’s also close to Cheltenham Spa and is well positioned for exploring the Cotswolds. We love the garden, with its decked area and outdoor dining space – though the hot tub is the star of the show. Inside, you’ll find a cosy lounge with a log-burner and a conservatory with table football – ideal for kids.

This cute-as-a-button cottage in the beautiful village of Poulton is the ultimate Cotswolds hideaway. Think honey-brown stone walls with an A-frame doorway, and a private garden bursting with bloom fit for the Chelsea Flower Show. Spend sunny days gathered together on the lawn, listening to birds sing and breathing in the fresh and flowery scent of the cottage garden.

Inside, it’s an ode to cottage-core living, with wooden beams running along low ceilings and the old stone bread oven in the living room harking back to the cottage's 400-year history. Plush sofas are made all the more cosy with Angora throws, and there’s a small selection of books at the ready for those quieter moments. In the dine-in kitchen, a wood-burning stove and flagstone floors whisper of a bygone time. 

Your hosts take great pride in their home, and it shows, with a high level of attention and care evident down to the last detail. Upstairs you’ll find two tastefully coloured bedrooms alongside a gorgeously bright bathroom with a tadelakt finish. Downstairs to the rear of the cottage, inspiration has been drawn from the Japanese onsens, manifesting in a garden spa bathroom complete with cedar shingles and exposed brick, which opens out onto a private courtyard. Outside, your hosts’ passion shines through even more, with handmade willow fences and sunshade. To the front of the cottage is a herb and flower-filled garden in which you can spend summer days dining alfresco or lazing about on one of two deck chairs.

Set in the centre of the Cotswolds, you are perfectly positioned for exploring the north and south of this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty at your leisure. The picturesque town of Bibury is just a ten-minute drive away, while Roman ruins lie six minutes in the other direction in Cirencester. Closer to home, why not take a stroll to The Gilbertine for a spot of brunch, or try out the Village Inn at Barnsley, or The Crown at Ampney, both just a five-minute drive away.

Bursting with Bloom

Make the most of the generously sized garden at this home in Highnam on the outskirts of Gloucester. Through the French doors from the outdoor space, you’ll find the well-equipped kitchen-diner – there’s plenty of room here for your group to cook and chat. If you simply must catch up on emails while away, there’s also a desk space in the living room. Or, have a stroll around the village and the Highnam Court estate. The city of Gloucester is 3 miles away and is known for its docks and 11th-century cathedral, while 10 miles away is the town of Cheltenham.

Take the most quintessential English cottage you ever did see, set amidst the rolling Cotswold countryside. Add to your doorstep five acres of sprawling shared gardens (think topiaries and a Moorish-inspired pavilion) complete with a shared indoor heated pool, Turkish hammam, and a hard tennis court. All tied up in the neat little bow that is Kingham, one of the Cotswold’s prettiest villages just moments away. And you’ve got yourself the perfect countryside retreat. Inside this eighteenth-century cottage, you’ll find a crackling fire for cosying up on colder nights. A light-filled living space with French doors opening out onto a south-facing private garden for summer evening barbecues. A suntrap conservatory overlooking the garden, that’s the perfect spot for your breakfast. And elegant, spacious bedrooms upstairs (a four-poster bed to boot) with picture-perfect window views. When you do decide to venture further afield from this quiet countryside idyll, you’re just a five-minute walk to the village centre with its award-winning gastropubs for an evening meal. Or head to Daylesford Spa and Farm Shop, just a five-minute drive away or twenty minutes on foot, where you’ll find the best organic food around and plenty of dining options. It’s all for the taking here.

Ode to Alhambra

Balcony

Staying in this charming Cotswolds cottage can make you feel like you’re a character from a Jane Austen novel. Located in a wonderfully secluded part of Wiltshire and surrounded by sprawling fields and farm animals, this home is a rural sanctuary of calm. French doors merge the comfortable living room with the natural light and country air of the outdoors – it's the perfect spot for relaxing with a good book, playing games or rustling up a home-cooked meal while socialising with friends and family. Grab a glass of your favourite and sit out on the garden patio, which overlooks picturesque views of the verdant valley. In the mood for exploring? This location gives you easy access to countless walking trails, and when you’re not wandering the fields or following footpaths, there’s a host of traditional pubs and local restaurants to take your fancy. While you’re here, it’s worth visiting the nearby towns of Malmesbury and Tetbury – and check your calendar, maybe your stay overlaps with the famed Badmiton Horse Trials or Tetbury Woolsack Race.

Living on the grounds of a 16th century country-house in the lush green Cotswolds (the largest Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) already creates the ideal setting for nature lovers. Once you settle in with biscuits, fresh scones and fruits on arrival (among other goodies) and befriend the curious chickens, embark on a walk through the rolling Cotswold hills and valleys. While Netflix and cocoa are perfect for rainy days in, there is a whole world out there on sunnier days. The Cotswold Way is a trail that we’d definitely recommend, with plenty of historic pubs along the way, each serving their own collection of local ales. The home is located in Painswick, a village known as The Queen of the Cotswolds and characterised by beautiful narrow streets of honey coloured stone buildings dating back to the fifteenth century. Legend has it that the Devil won’t let a hundredth tree grow. There are all sorts of cafes and restaurants in and around the village, so make sure you ask the host, Hannah, for some recommendations.

Baby Bath

With honeyed stone walls and a Grade II listed status, this bronze South West Award-winning traditional stone cottage is quintessentially Cotswolds. The exposed beams and inglenook fireplaces showcase the building’s considerable heritage (it dates back to 1670), but you’ll find plenty of modern comforts here, as well as cosy styling that favours neutral tones and natural textures. We love that it’s a home for all seasons — stride out on blustery walks in the winter months, before coming back to underfloor heating, a wood burner and thick goose down duvets. In the summer, the British countryside is arguably at its best and here you get access to a large birdsong-filled garden with plenty of shady spots for a gin and tonic. Stargazers are in luck here as there are no streetlights in the local village of Southrop and the Milky Way shines extra bright. And of course, what would a country getaway be without a nearby pub? The Swan can be reached in about three minutes' walk, although the Victoria Inn takes half an hour in case you fancy earning your pint.

When you think of the Cotswolds, chances are you picture chocolate-box villages, cobbled lanes and that famous honey-coloured stone. Stow-on-the-Wold promises all that and more. It's home to chic restaurants, traditional inns, cosy pubs and plenty of independent shops ripe for browsing. With countryside walks on your doorstep and many Cotswolds attractions within driving distance, this is a desirable place to be – and we absolutely adore this cottage, which is smack-dab in the centre of town. Once an antique showroom, this inviting homestead is now filled with local artwork – including paintings by the host's grandfather – as well as The Cotswold Company furniture and every amenity you can think of. Snuggle up with a book in front of the wood-burner, challenge the family to a board game around the dining table or relax with a soak in the sumptuous master bathtub. The private courtyard is the perfect spot to savour a cup of tea or a cocktail in the sun. In the evenings, light the barbecue and enjoy an alfresco meal, gathering around the fire pit for toasted marshmallows when the air turns chilly. 

Host Susy goes above and beyond, providing everything you'll need, be it a complete dinner set and kitchen loaded with appliances and crockery to the luxury toiletries in the bathrooms. She can even arrange restaurant reservations and has a whole slew of recommendations, so you'll be in excellent hands.

In an elegant pocket of the Cotswolds lies this lakeside charming villa – a real find for those who like their homes with a generous helping of natural daylight. The floor-to-ceiling windows cover three levels, so even when you're not out on one of the many terraces dining alfresco or enjoying a glass of wine with the lake as your backdrop, you'll feel like you're under the sun. Families will love it here, with bunk beds and a playroom keeping younger guests busy. The home's location in the Lower Mill Estate means you'll have access to two shared heated swimming pools, playgrounds, soft play, tennis courts, a 3G multi-use games area, and a spa (we recommend booking treatments in advance). Further afield, nearby Cirencester is dotted with historic pubs and charming country boutiques and is just twenty minutes by car. Or for something a little nearer, you'll find the picturesque swimming lagoons and sandy beaches of Cotswolds Country Park are just a five-minute drive away.

Duckdown Lodge

This charming Grade II listed cottage is located in Broadwell, one of the most picturesque villages in the Cotswolds. Staying here, you’ll be close to beautiful Bourton-on-the-Water and Stow-on-the-Wold, in an excellent location for hiking and cycling. You can also stroll to the village pub – the perfect end to a countryside walk. The cottage has period features galore, including oak beams, mullion windows, and a stone fireplace, alongside modern conveniences like a fully equipped kitchen. There’s a front lawn and a rear courtyard where you can dine alfresco in warm weather. 

Broadwell Beauty

Tucked away in a traditional, honey-coloured stone building, this Cotswolds cottage is an idyllic base from which to explore this beautiful corner of the English countryside. Just off the main tourist trails in Coln St Aldwyn – one of the area’s prettiest villages – this home is the perfect starting point to explore the Cotswolds’ network of picturesque villages and glorious nature walks. Inside, the open-plan living space blends antique and modern furnishings to create a warm welcome, with a wood-burning stove as its focal point. We love the long, rustic dining table in the country-style kitchen whose cobalt blue cabinetry contrasts handsomely with the bright walls that reflect the light coming through the large windows. Upstairs, the comfortable bedrooms give way to wide sweeping views of the surrounding meadows and the river Coln beyond. One of the home’s most unique features is its lovely separate outbuilding. Here, you’ll find an artist’s studio where you can let your creative side run free and a garden room decked out in bunting, a table and chairs, perfect for hosting an afternoon over tea. After a day spent rambling in the great outdoors, sampling the area's traditional pubs or just lounging in your own garden, sit down around the courtyard’s table on balmy nights for a barbecue feast under the stars. On cooler evenings, wrap yourself up in a blanket by the fire over a board game and a glass of wine, and revel in the stillness of your quiet country retreat. 


Build Me Up Buttercup

This 17th-century listed cottage is situated in the village of Great Rissington, a short drive from picturesque Bourton-on-the-Water, while Stow-on-the-Wold is 4 miles away. There’s a pub a very short stroll away or for walkers, the famous Cotswolds Way spans 102 miles starting at Chipping Campden and ending at Bath Abbey. This wisteria-clad home’s private, lawned garden has fantastic views over the Windrush Valley. Inside, there’s all the character you’d expect, including beams, original flagstone floors and an inglenook fireplace with an open fire. This idyllic place promises an unforgettable escape.

In the heart of Gloucester, this fuss-free home puts all the sights within walking distance. Whether you want to grab a bite to eat, marvel at the Cathedral, or catch a game at the Kingsholm Rugby Stadium, you'll be well-placed to get out and about. Back home, there isn't much space to spread out – especially with the sofa bed in use – but the contemporary interiors are a relaxing respite from the hustle and bustle. There's a well-appointed kitchen if you fancy a home-cooked meal, and the dining table also doubles as a desk for remote workers. Plus, with free permit parking available, exploring the Cotswolds is a breeze.

Gloucester Gem

You’ll find this Grade II listed home just a stone’s throw from Stow-on-the-Wold and Lower Swell – in other words, perfectly placed to explore the Cotswolds. Full of charm, it’s the little added luxuries that make this space special for us. A copper bath, wood burner, and a section of glass floor showcasing the source of the spa waters below are just some of the touches you can enjoy. If you’re not soaking up the rolling countryside views from the garden, the nearby hiking trails will have you pulling on your boots and heading out to explore in no time. 

The Pineapple Fountain

Single-Level Home

Only a mile from Winchcombe and Sudeley Castle, this pocket-sized hideaway is a perfect fit for two. We love how cosy and bright the living space is. Whether you're preparing breakfast in the mint green kitchenette, unwinding with a glass of wine on the comfy sofa or snuggling up in the sumptuous bed adorned with a William Morris duvet, you'll feel right at home here. And the views aren't too shabby, either. In the morning, savour a cup of tea and listen to the birdsong on the private patio, overlooking the tree-lined paddock. Evenings call for charcoal barbecues as the sun goes down, followed by glasses of wine under the stars. 

Ramblers will love this rural spot. Public footpaths lead through the rolling countryside towards the Cotswold Way and along the River Isbourne, and with pubs and restaurants in Winchcombe, you'll have everything you need just a stone's throw away. If it's the magic of the Cotswolds you're after, take an afternoon drive to Bourton-on-the-Water – it's twenty-five minutes away.

Cotswold Grace

In the heart of Bourton-on-the-Water, this home offers a contemporary stay in a charming village. The living space is flooded with light and features a stylish sitting area, a sleek kitchen, and French doors leading to a small garden. Head upstairs and you'll find a collection of comfortable bedrooms, plus an additional lounge. Our favourite room is the main suite on the top floor, boasting its own soaker bath ideal for unwinding. Keen to venture out? A short stroll leads you into the village's pubs, restaurants, and shops. You're also near a historic Anglican church, where the chime of the bells will be the soundtrack to your stay.

When Bells Chime

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

If you're looking for a boutique hotel-style destination with the privacy and comfort of a real home, look no further. Set on 80 acres, this Cotswolds home has been designed with luxury and ultimate comfort in mind, with a spa on the property that has a pool, jacuzzi, steam room and an Astro court that doubles as a tennis court and football pitch. The spa is shared only between the host’s family and your group, with the charming cottage itself being connected directly to the spa building, so you can travel between the two without ever going outside. You’ll probably want to spend some time outside though – the surrounding Gloucestershire countryside is a treat for the eyes and for the soul. The garden backs onto fields and you're a short walk away from Bredon Hill (a popular cycling destination), while a great local pub is just a quick fifteen-minute bike ride away, or closer by car. The cottage itself is modern and thoughtfully decorated, with bright skylights, roomy bathrooms and yellow and blue walls that create a relaxing space. After working up an appetite in the pool, gather around the wooden table for dinner before unwinding by the fire with a bottle of wine. Plus, your host is more than happy to help you arrange spa treatments and provide extras like toys, games, bikes and baby equipment – so it's unlikely you'll run out of things to do at this fabulous countryside retreat.
