Escape to the heart of the Cotswolds at this charming home. It’s located just above Stroud and boasts wonderful countryside views, particularly from the dreamy main bedroom. The cosy sitting room looks across the front garden – a marvellous spot for an alfresco breakfast – and can be merged with the attractive kitchen and dining space. Little ones will love the playground across the street, while grown-ups will appreciate being within walking distance of pubs, restaurants, and rural walks. 

The Cotswold View

Tucked into the hills above Slad Valley, this converted chapel offers a one-of-a-kind Cotswolds stay, with original arched windows and exposed beams made for family getaways. The open-plan kitchen and dining area are made for gathering, while the snug offers a tucked-away space for games or quiet time. Upstairs, every bedroom has its own character, whether beneath soaring beams or beside stained glass. Outside, dine alfresco on the terrace, stargaze from the upper garden, or simply sit and soak in the silence. With Painswick, Stroud and Laurie Lee’s countryside on your doorstep, this is the kind of place that invites you to stay awhile.

The Rose Window

With its wood-burning fire, window seats and pretty walled garden, this 19th-century townhouse in Tetbury delivers all the Cotswold's charm. Tucked away along a quiet, no-through lane, there are beautiful walks on the doorstep. Or for a little more bustle, Tetbury's wander-worthy centre, with its iconic antique shops, restaurants and cafes, is just a stroll away. Perfect for a multi-generational family stay, alongside two double bedrooms, there's a single bedroom that's ideal for a child or single grandparent. It's worth noting a home of this heritage does have its quirks. Expect steep staircases, low beams in places and a compact kitchen. But that's all part and parcel of characterful cottage living.

A Cotswold Gem

Enjoy a stately visit to this grand home in the southern Cotswolds. With six bedrooms, Grindstone can accommodate up to twelve guests and welcomes those to enjoy the lavish interiors, manicured gardens and untouched countryside with views of the old mill from the backyard. Boasting two reception rooms with fireplaces, an open-plan kitchen and a small study, an extended family would surely benefit from this large space in such an idyllic setting. Although you'll be able to enjoy total privacy here, you're just six miles from Badminton, ten miles from Highgrove and twenty miles from Bath and Bristol, giving you the chance to get in on the action, should you ever need it.

The Wildwood Hideaway

Located in the Cotswolds, this Georgian manor home enjoys a secluded spot, surrounded by the rolling hills and natural landscape of this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Find acres of beautifully manicured grounds at your feet as you walk around and stop to smell the blooming flowers right after breakfast. 

As with breakfast and dinner, we recommend lunch al fresco under the vine-covered pergola before going back to sunbathing poolside. In the summer months, when a heat wave brings more potent temperatures your way, you might spend entire sun-drenched afternoons splashing in the crystal-clear waters of the private pool. 

With peace and tranquillity in spades, it’s unlikely that you’ll want to leave that behind, but the charming market town of Dursley is a must for a nice walk and a cup of coffee at the end of it. 

Golfers can escape to Stinchcombe Hill, whilst watersport lovers can visit the Cotswold Water Park to try their hand at white-water rafting. 

Return to play a few games of pool in the drawing room, sipping whiskey that you can later take outside for a peaceful drink at sunset. 

Georgian on Ferney

This pretty 19th-century stone cottage, built in 1821, is located in Minchinhampton, with a pub and cafes within walking distance. The Grade II listed castellated home has been lovingly refurbished to retain its character features, including stunning Gothic-style windows and an ornate arched doorway, while adding contemporary comforts. Pretty and comfortable, the cottage has a sitting room adorned with antique maps and artwork, and a pretty kitchen. Outside, you’ll find a patio and gravel courtyard garden with a barbecue and chiminea.

The Castellated Cottage

This charming cottage offers a romantic escape for two in the Cotswolds. It’s in the village of Minchinhampton, a market town with pubs and a lively weekly market. There are National Trust walks nearby, in addition to the Gloucestershire countryside. The characterful cottage boasts original features including exposed beams and stonework – it’s a cosy place to call home. There’s a well-equipped kitchen and a pretty patio for dining alfresco when the weather allows. 

Minchinhampton Cottage

Once a coach house to the manor next door, this Grade II listed retreat is now a peaceful place to pause. Tucked among the trees and hidden from view, it offers a quiet escape with just the faintest glimpse of the valley beyond. Inside, the open-plan layout is calm and inviting, with soft tones, rustic textures and a round window that draws your eye outside. Spend mornings walking the Laurie Lee trail, afternoons exploring Stroud’s market stalls, and evenings in the bath or by the window seat, watching the light change. 

The Coachman's Loft

Set in the picturesque Cotswolds, this home is the perfect place to unwind. The open-plan living area has a wood-burning stove that creates a welcoming atmosphere on cooler days. Upstairs, there’s a king-size bedroom and en-suite bathroom – though the low ceilings may not be suitable for taller guests. And outside, there’s a hot tub on the private patio to relax in. The cottage is surrounded by shared grounds – on the lawn, there’s a communal oak barn – perfect for some shade on sunny days. Out and about, there’s plenty to see and do. Take advantage of nearby Westonbirt's National Arboretum, where you can enjoy a peaceful stroll. Or go to the village pub in Sherston for lunch.

Picnics on the Lawn

Nestled in the quaint village of Nympsfield, this Grade II listed cottage is perfect for an escape to the country. Surrounded by miles of rolling Cotswold countryside, guests can settle by the fire in an inviting, pleasantly roomy home dating back to the 17th century. With exposed stonework and overhead beams, its charming period design features lend the cottage plenty of character. You'll be able to choose from two en-suite bedrooms – one of which serves as a super king-size or twin room – as well as both indoor and alfresco dining areas. The National Trust owned valley of Woodchester Park is also a half hour walk away, while the city of Gloucester is half an hour by car. 

The Mill Stream

This home embraces the Cotswold idyll with a spacious lawn perfect for relaxing and a secluded, covered hot tub for evening soaks. Inside, there are two living rooms so the group can spread out – both with a wood-burning stove for colder evenings – and there’s two dedicated games room outside with pool, table tennis and foosball tables. In the main drawing room there are boardgames and toys to keep the kids occupied. The farmhouse-style kitchen is a delight at breakfast time. In the village of North Nibley, there’s a small shop and the Black Horse pub within walking distance but you’ll want a car to explore the rest of the Cotswolds.

Tea, Flowers & Trees

Escape to the Cotswolds with this converted coach house dating back to 1865. It has an idyllic setting surrounded by communal lawns and countryside views. There’s a private terrace with a hot tub too – perfect for relaxing in. Inside, there’s a log burner for when the weather turns cooler and there’s air conditioning for hotter days. Just a couple of things to note – there’s a winding staircase to the first floor, and the ceilings here are on the low side. Out and about, the beautiful Westonbirt Arboretum is a short walk away. Or go for a pub lunch at the village inn at Sherston, just over two miles from this home.
