With breathtaking panoramas from every vantage point, this home is a gem. You'll be able to enjoy the views from the private hot tub and garden – although our favourite is the glimpses of the River Severn and Old Severn Bridge from the main bedroom. There’s the all-important log burner for when the weather gets chillier, too. This home is set on a working dairy farm, and your host is happy to give you a tour of the farm – something the kids will probably adore. Just bear in mind, at certain times of the year, the farm can be busy. When you feel like exploring a little further afield, you can visit Chepstow Castle or Lydney in the Forest of Dean. 

Farmers Daughter

With sweeping countryside views and a hot tub perfectly positioned for starlit soaks, this peaceful retreat is all about slowing down. Ideal for two, and surrounded by fields and footpaths, this shepherd's hut sits in the heart of a working dairy farm in the Wye Valley, just fifteen minutes from Chepstow. Inside, soft tones and natural textures create a calming space to unwind, whether you’re curled up by the wood-burning fire, cooking in the compact kitchen or stretched out on the king-size bed. Outside, the private deck is perfect for alfresco breakfasts and quiet evenings with the cows grazing nearby. Don’t leave without trying the farm’s creamy gelato and milkshakes.

Exploring locally, you can take to the trails through the forest where if you’re lucky, you may even spot some wild boar and deer.

Nice to haves

There’s no need to rush at this rustic old barn in the Cotswolds countryside. As you cross through the secret garden and step inside, you’ll understand. The ancient oak beams speak of a time when this home was originally the annexe to the larger barn next door, and the vaulted ceiling adds space to this studio-sized apartment. The windows look onto the shared garden, where the outdoor bench quickly became our favourite spot for an afternoon cuppa. The petit kitchen has all the necessities for a quick meal, and we couldn’t wait to snuggle down in the huge soft bed after a busy day exploring. Speaking of exploring, you’re on a working farm here and your hosts are more than willing to show you around and a few country walks are on the cards with an Iron Age fort just next door. The cities of Bath and Bristol are only half an hour’s drive away, the perfect distance for a day trip. 

Welly Boots

Sitting peacefully on the edge of the Forest of Dean, this home provides the perfect setting for a refreshing retreat. Outside, you can enjoy the views while soaking in the hot tub (available for an additional fee). There is also a barbecue and plenty of space for children and dogs to play safely. Inside, there is a wood-burning stove in the living room and two of the bedrooms feature en-suite bathrooms – adding a wonderful sense of privacy. And when it comes to explorations further afield, follow hiking trails, visit local pubs or explore the nearby Wye Valley.

Light of the Forest

Tucked into the hills near Chepstow and surrounded by a working dairy farm, this countryside escape blends rustic charm with easygoing luxury. Made up of a cosy shepherd's hut and an elegant farmhouse, it’s a thoughtful setup for families or friends. There are three bedrooms across the two buildings, with open-plan living spaces, soft linens, and warm, characterful design throughout. Spend your days walking local trails or exploring the Wye Valley, then return for long dinners, log fires, and starlit soaks in a hot tub. With farm-fresh treats on hand and views in every direction, this place is designed to help you fully switch off.

You won’t have mobile signal here (a great excuse to disconnect), but there is wi-fi and a range of comforts that make this the ideal setting for a rural retreat. Outside, there’s a hot tub (available for an additional fee) and an enclosed garden – great for kids and dogs. And for adventures further afield, there are endless walking and cycle trails, plus it’s just a short drive to the nearest amenities in Lydney – 2 miles away.

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.

Fenced Garden

Many barn conversions across the British countryside tend to be relatively small and cosy affairs, but this example in rural Gloucestershire is a comparative colossus with a wealth of social space and amenities.

The design inside lies on the rustic side of things, with exposed stonework and wooden ceiling beams to be spotted alongside a wood-burning stove, a clawfoot bathtub and an ornate bed frame in the master bedroom. That being said, there's a contemporary sheen where it matters, especially in the pastel bedrooms, sleek bathrooms and the kitchen complete with an Aga.

So how would you fill your time at the address? Well, when the weather permits, you can make the most of the large garden with a lawn big enough for games and a patio area for alfresco feasts. There's even a hot tub ready and waiting for a relaxing spot to pass the golden hour. If, however, grey clouds make an appearance at any point, don't fret – there's a snooker table inside, as well as another games room in the external former stables, that should keep guests entertained for a while.

In the local area, the town of Lydney is only eight minutes' drive away when you need supplies, while both Newport and Gloucester lie about forty-five minutes away in the car. There's a wide choice of natural attractions to be discovered nearby as well, ranging from the Forest of Dean and Puzzlewood to Clearwell Caves.

Courtyard

Set within a traditional Cotswolds barn, this charming home looks too good to be true with its stone and duck egg blue exterior and its flower-filled hanging baskets at the door. But inside you'll find its country charm is the real deal. The living room is particularly delightful, with exposed stone walls, seriously sumptuous sofas complete with faux-fur throws, and an idyllic wood burner to keep things extra cosy. The gorgeous blue-tiled kitchen has everything you need to throw together a hearty meal, best enjoyed out in the garden beneath the cherry blossom trees and views of the rolling countryside beyond the garden's perimeter. There are plenty of hiking routes nearby to keep you entertained - well, you'll want to do a little bit of exercise so you can reward yourself with a well-deserved soak in the luxurious bathtub, won't you? With the nearby town of Chipping Sodbury just a six-minute drive away and both Bristol and Bath less than 30 minutes away, this Cotswolds gem is the perfect romantic getaway.

Farmyard Bells

We're completely hung up on this home in the Cotswolds, a dreamy apartment that's part of a stunning converted barn. Even arriving here has an ethereal charm, driving past miles of rolling green fields to a home that's a true countryside escape. Opening the front door, what first enamoured us were the high ceilings and French doors – the natural light of the farm outside hits every pocket of the living areas. But this home is more than just its light. It's a mix of rustic cottage and manor house in one, where grand stone fireplaces meet ridiculously comfy armchairs. Upstairs the bedroom is stunning and ornate, its large wooden bed living under vaulted ceilings and hugged by baby blue walls. As part of a working farm, the soundtrack to your stay is the cluck of hens and baa of sheep. Immerse yourself in life here, and you'll likely leave an aspiring farmer.

Dandelion Honey

With beautiful views, two private hot tubs and wood-burning fires, this home has everything you could need for a refreshing rural retreat. Consisting of two neighbouring homes, you’ll find plenty of space to stretch out and socialise. There is also an external games room, a snooker room and a large garden with a barbecue – perfect for warm weather days. From here, it’s a short walk to the nearest village, while the Forest of Dean is on your doorstep. It’s also a short drive to Cheltenham and Bath.

These luxurious shepherd’s huts are an excellent choice for a romantic retreat. This quirky home can be found in a secluded meadow on the edge of a natural wood, close to the ancient settlement of Penterry. There are stunning views to be discovered nearby, and you can relax and unwind amid the tranquillity of the Wye Valley. The bathroom, with a bathtub and separate shower, is in a separate shepherd’s hut, while the petite kitchen and bedroom are in a studio layout in the main hut. Space is limited, but the setting more than makes up for that.

The quintessential rural stay awaits at this stone barn conversion, sitting pretty in the rolling hills of the Cotswolds. Come for life on the farm, stay for bright and breezy open-plan living. Although this apartment is on the second floor of the barn, it truly feels like a charming country cottage, the type you might come across after hours exploring enchanted woods. That might be down to the oak beams in the ceiling, or the open-plan living area's wooden floors and simple necessities. We think it's a dream stay for young families in particular. The barn itself is surrounded by pigs, chicken, and other animals, with an Iron Age hillfort to explore on walks around the grounds. There's something mesmerising about getting up close with the animals – it's easy to spend hours out here, especially if you have little ones. You can fire up a barbecue, shared with the other homes on-site, for an alfresco feast. Or live like a local, and visit the pubs and restaurants of nearby Chipping Sodbury. 

Clover Honey

This comfortable apartment in Lydney is an excellent base for exploring the Forest of Dean and Gloucestershire. It’s on the edge of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, too – charming villages and stunning countryside await. The apartment is contemporary and cosy, with an open-plan living, dining, and kitchen space at its heart. Staying here, you’ll have access to beautiful shared gardens with four ponds and delightful outdoor seating spots. Your four-legged friends can come too, so nobody has to miss out.

From the landscaped gardens and traditional features to the indoor heated pool and hot tub, every detail has been considered to bring ease and comfort to your stay. Child-friendly amenities can be arranged, plus there’s plenty to explore in the surroundings. Follow hiking trails, stroll to the nearby pub or spend a day in Cirencester and Tetbury – a short drive away.

The English Flower

Private Pool

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.

We love that the main bedroom suite opens out onto the patio too. When you want to explore, the town of Stroud is around 3 miles away with its farmers’ market and museum, while the local village pub is just over a mile.

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?

The open-plan ground floor is kitted out with a long dining table that makes for sociable evenings feasting on food prepared in the fully equipped kitchen. After dinner, grab a seat on the comfy sofa and settle in by the wood burner for the ultimate cosy evening. Climb the custom staircase up to the two double en-suite bedrooms (the twin is on the ground floor) with their unique wetroom style showers that are open to the room (so you better know your roommate pretty well). Wander down the track to Dyrham Park, one of the Cotswold's most stunning National Trust properties. Fans of the Poldark and Sanditon series, as well as the 1993 film Remains of the Day, might recognise this fabulous late seventeenth-century mansion and manicured gardens. Elsewhere, you're a little under ten miles from Bath, where you can take in the heritage atmosphere and grand Georgian architecture of one of the UK's most picturesque cities.

Avon Stream juxtaposes the old and the new oh so perfectly. From a Georgian façade and original fireplaces to modern furnishings and contemporary finishes – the home offers a contrast with elegance and style throughout. A lot of care has also been put into the quality of the furniture – we deem the mattresses to be a particular highlight. We also. love that the entire basement floor of this home is underfloor heated – blissful in the winter months when you can kick off your shoes and just unwind. Add into the mix, gig sash windows, high ceilings, and the central (yet surprisingly peaceful) location – and you've got yourself a pristine base from which to explore the picturesque city of Bath. Stroll just seven minutes to visit the historic Roman baths and explore the high street boutiques, cafes and restaurants that surround it. There's no need to drive or even use public transport here, as most of the city is within reach of a convenient walk from your apartment.

On arrival at this beautiful A-frame cottage, you’ll be greeted with stunning views across the Wye Valley and a couple of bottles of local ale from your host’s favourite brewery. A wall of glass opens up the living room to the valley beyond and the morning mist tumbling between forests and fells is quite a sight from this hilltop location. Come nightfall, you’re far from civilisation so the sky speckles with a blanket of stars – spot constellations from the warmth of the wood-fired hot tub outside or walk to Michelin-star restaurant The Whitebrook, fifteen minutes away. Wandering through the wildflower-strewn garden you’ll find a picnic bench and barbecue for hazy summer days outdoors and rambling walks across the countryside start from just outside the door. Back inside, we love the collection of holiday reads, tucked into bookshelves below the raised bed in the studio. Toys in the living room and bunkbeds in the second bedroom let you know this place is family-friendly too.
