This apartment makes for an excellent base in Swindon. It’s bright and comfortable, equally well suited to visits for work as to family breaks. It’s petite but well furnished with everything you might need for a short stay.

After a hectic day seeing the sights, you’ll be glad to have a cosy lounge to curl up in. Watch movies while dinner is cooking, then sit down at the table to dine together. If you don’t fancy cooking, you’re in luck, as the apartment is on a street bustling with bars, restaurants and independent shops. You’ll have plenty to choose from when it comes to dining out. 

The apartment is in the heart of Swindon’s Old Town, which is fitting given the nod to retro styling in this home. You’ll still have all the modern amenities you’ll need though, whether it’s wi-fi or a desk to work at.

Tucked away amid the countryside surrounding the village of Wroughton, this delightful home makes for a memorable base for visits to Wiltshire. It’s been in the owner’s family for over a hundred years, and the love that’s been poured into it is evident. 

The vast gardens are beautiful, a wonderful setting-off point for walks and bike rides in the area. Explore the countryside safe in the knowledge that on your return you can warm up by a roaring fire – no visit to the English countryside can guarantee dry weather, after all. The Aga in the traditional farmhouse kitchen keeps things cosy too. The kitchen is a lovely spot for lively family breakfasts, all seated around the huge dining table tucking into local sausages and eggs. 

Should you choose to dine out, you have your pick of country pubs in the area, as well as restaurants and cafes in nearby Marlborough. There’s something for everyone in this charming corner of the UK. 

Adventure-seekers will enjoy the Cotswold Water Park, which is a twenty-three-minute drive. There’s an assortment of lakes with activities ranging from paddleboarding to wild swimming – that’s if you’ve not had your fill in the swimming pool back at the house. The Basset Down Golf Course is just ten minutes away, providing fun for those that prefer to keep their feet dry.

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

Courtyard

When we think of the Cotswolds, we imagine honey-coloured, picture-perfect cottages in charming villages, and this home fits the bill. We love the exposed wooden beams and the wood-burning stove in the living room. This semi-detached cottage has two bedrooms – the second is compact with a small double bed, so it's ideal perhaps for the kids. There’s also a front terrace to relax in after a long walk with the dogs or a visit to the local pub, one-minute away. There’s no shop in the village, but there's a grocery store in Fairford, a five-minute drive. Other attractions in the area include historic Cirencester, Burton-on-the-Water, Burford and the Cotswold Water Park.

Sunny Cottage

Shared Pool

Safety Gates

This lakeside retreat is nestled in the heart of a private estate. And with beautiful views, a balcony and plenty of socialising space, this is a wonderful setting for a refreshing family getaway. Guests have access to the on-site facilities which include an outdoor pool, sauna and tennis courts. Two complimentary spa passes are included in your stay (for all guests) and there’s plenty to do in the area. From fishing and hiking to yoga and paddle boarding, there’s something for everyone.  It’s also just a short drive to nearby Cirencester – just 6 miles away.

Beach Essentials

A mesmerising location, impeccable interior design and plenty of exciting things going on in the locale – this strikingly modern lodge perched on the banks of Bowmoor Lake, in the edge of the Cotswolds, seems to have all the luck. The views of the water from the deck, from the private beach with fire pit or even just out through the floor-to-ceiling windows are soothing, but you can easily liven things up with some water sports or outdoor activities arranged by the surrounding resort, or a visit to its world-class spa for a pampering session. There's more than enough to do at home if the weather's not on your side as well – we're looking at the pool table, in particular.

The Waterfront Escape

Heard about that exclusive lakeside estate over in the Cotswolds conceived by Philippe Starck? Yep, that's this place. 

This luxurious retreat may be nestled away in the countryside, but there's nothing twee about its interiors. Each of the one hundred homes discreetly spaced apart around the six clear water lakes and 650 acres of woodlands and meadows boasts eye-popping finishes designed by Kelly Hoppen, Jade Jagger, and Kate Moss, to name a few. 

Over in the vast made-for-action kitchen, cooking is a joy with every gadget going. But if you fancy a night off, why not hire a private chef for an evening of fine dining. Upstairs, you'll find the most ginormous main bedroom suite with a super king-sized bed, a private lounge area, and an ensuite sauna - yes, really. While out on the deck, there are memorable 180-degree views of the surrounding lake to soak up from the stylish seating and dining area – best enjoyed with a glass of something crisp in hand and the barbecue fired up. 

When it's time to embrace the great outdoors, how does paddle-boarding, kayaking, rowing, fishing, and sailing off your own private jetty sound? And there's tennis and cricket courts, a golf net, man-made beach, and a five-star spa on the estate to keep you busy, too. And if you fancy a change of scene, the pretty market town of Lechlade-on-Thames is just a five-minute drive away for a hefty dose of Cotswold charm. However, you'll need some serious powers of persuasion to convince anyone to leave this place.

The Lake Escape

Hot Tub

Nestled within a working family farm fringing the historic village of Avebury (a World Heritage site, don't you know), this is the countryside hideaway you've been chasing.

While the former stable dwelling may have old bones (check out those lofty oak beams), there's nothing twee about its interiors inside. Every inch of the home is beautifully reimagined for pure modern luxury with statement lighting, vibrant textiles, and curated artwork bringing a touch of refreshing and playful modernity.

After banking a peaceful night's sleep in the stylish bedrooms, get together around the dining table overlooking the shared courtyard for lazy breakfasts – the welcome hamper's sourdough loaf is the best thing since sliced bread. Or, if you'd after a big cook-up, your host can deliver fresh farm produce right to your barn door. 

When bellies are full and it's time to set off exploring, you won't have far to go. Just head into the local village of Avebury (a three-minute drive or half-an-stroll stroll) – it's an afternoon well spent with its traditional inn, charming shops, and of course, the Neolithic stone circle. Just be sure to make it home in time for some stargazing around the fire pit on the beautifully landscaped terrace that you'll share with the barn's other cottages. On a balmy evening, there's no finer place to be.

Magic Circle

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

Situated on a picturesque lakeside estate, this home boasts lovely views and a private terrace with space to dine alfresco. Two well-behaved pups are welcome to join you here for a fee and there's plenty of space for large families, with room for ten adults and two children on bunk beds. The estate offers a myriad of communal facilities, from swimming pools and a sauna to an on-site shop and restaurant. With nearby Cotswolds villages like Cirencester and Bibury just a short drive away, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of this gorgeous location.

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.


Wych Elm

Situated in the picturesque North Wessex Downs and just a five-minute from Marlborough's bustling High Street, this Grade II-listed cottage is an absolute charmer. Your hosts have recently refreshed the interior, going beyond the usual lick of paint and new carpets, going as far as to kit it out with a brand new bespoke kitchen complete with a stunning range – perfect for the home cooks out there.

That said, Marlborough is blessed with plenty of options when it comes to dining out. Top picks include Rick Stein, which serves up modern British fare – Dan's at the Crown offers elevated versions of the classics, plus the Michelin Guide recommended The Bell at West Overton, where you'll tuck into Mediterranean-inspired dishes just a four-mile drive out of town.

Continue a few minutes further along the road, and it won't be long before you end up in Avebury, home to Europe's largest neolithic stone circle. If that whets your appetite, then it's a forty-minute drive south to Stonehenge, the world's most famous and sophisticated stone circle. 

For a day trip to a historic location with a less mysterious past, the charming city of Bath is an hour away. With beautiful Georgian architecture, contemporary culture and astonishingly well-preserved Roman baths, there's a reason it's regarded as an obligatory stop on so many itineraries.

Awake Sweet England

Free Parking

Set within a holiday park in the Cotswolds, this home is perfect for families looking for ample entertainment and maximum relaxation. A pool table in the home’s games room is a great way to spend evenings before enjoying sunsets on the roof terrace or sitting down to an alfresco barbecue on the deck. You’ll be just a five-minute walk from the park’s communal facilities too, which include swimming pools, an award-winning spa and a gym. Further fun can be had on the shared tennis courts or by renting bikes and water sports equipment to fully take advantage of the stunning natural surroundings. Factor in the on-site restaurant and you’ll find everything is on hand for a carefree stay. 


Honeycomb Dove

Leave behind fast-paced days and enjoy a relaxing retreat in this cosy apartment. Located within a private estate, guests can enjoy access to a communal pool, spa and on-site restaurant (just a five-minute walk away). Bikes and canoes are also available to rent, plus it's child and pet friendly. Back at home, you can enjoy views across the lake while relaxing on the private deck. It’s worth noting you will have neighbours close by, but the rooms provide a calm space to unwind after a day of exploring the Cotswolds countryside. 


The Cotswold Lodge

Set on the banks of Windrush Lake, this waterside lodge is the perfect retreat. Nestled within the Cotswold Water Park, there's an abundance of activities to try and places to explore – when you're not just hanging out on your waterside deck, that is. The home is spread across three floors, so every family member can seek out their own space to unwind and find a bit of solitude, and there's a homely feel to the place. Spend your days enjoying water sports on the lake, fishing from your garden, horse riding or walking the many lush trails. If that's not enough, the on-site attractions should offer something for everyone with tennis courts, croquet and football goals. Even if you're unlucky with the weather, the home has all sorts of streaming options so you can watch your favourite films, and there are board games and children's toys for a more low tech approach to rainy day entertainment. As the day winds to a close, light up the barbecue and enjoy an alfresco family dinner overlooking the water before hopping into that private hot tub.

Turret Lodge

Nestled in the heart of the Cotswold Water Park, this clapperboard cottage has views of Isis Lake and a smorgasbord of fun for the whole family. Communal tennis courts, a games room (including retro arcade games and a ping-pong table), children's play area, volleyball net and a croquet lawn are just a few of the land-based activities, while on the water, there's fishing, paddleboarding, kayaking and jetskiing to excite you. The home itself is bright, cosy and perfectly embodies that charming coastal feeling. In the mornings, sip your coffee on the sunny deck, watching as the trout jump in the lake and listening to the sound of cascading water fountain. Home chefs will love cooking up a storm in the fully-equipped kitchen, preparing delicious family dinner to share around the rustic dining table. End the evening snuggled up on the sofa with the electric fire burning, watching a family-favourite film on the smart TV. When you're in the mood for a change of scenery, Cirencester is a ten-minute drive away and has a wealth of shops and restaurants. Or just hop in the car and go for a drive, exploring the pretty villages in the Cotswolds.

As unusual as it is unique, you can tell a designer has been working their magic at this exquisite Wiltshire retreat, set on a working family farm on the edge of historic Avebury.

Splashes of bright colours, rich textiles, and statement ceramics make this country bolt hole anything but twee. And thanks to its high vaulted ceiling, it’s a home flooded with natural daylight. Hunker down on the very-sinkable sofa with a good book. Get together for a hearty cook-up breakfast at the dining table –⁠ your host can deliver fresh farm produce right to your barn door. Or sneak back to the king-sized bed with tea and toast – the welcome hamper delivers all the goods.

When the charming shared landscaped terrace finally lures you outside, you’ll be in for a treat. There are plenty of sunny spots to relax in or step up the pace with a bracing walk around the unspoiled countryside – you’re right in the heart of a World Heritage site with paths leading from the farm. And no visit here would be complete without a pilgrimage to Avebury’s Neolithic stone circle (a three-minute drive away or twenty-five-minute stroll) – with a pitstop to the local inn afterward, naturally.

The Pilgrim's Keep

Paid Parking On Premises

Breakfast Included

You've got the best of Wiltshire at your feet with a stay at this charming hideaway, nestled on a working family farm fringing the historic village of Avebury. Standing within a World Heritage site, its quaint shops, traditional inn, and the legendary stone circle delivers all the country charm and heritage you're chasing and is just a three-minute drive away.

Back at the farm, you couldn't dream up a more welcoming retreat. Once a former stable, the space has been beautifully reimagined into a collection of stylish cottages standing side-by-side overlooking a landscaped shared courtyard.

Inside, we love the elegant English interiors with bright textiles and artwork adding a dash of playful modernity. And the whole space feels light and lofty, thanks to the vaulted ceilings. In the small but perfectly formed kitchen, there's a welcome hamper with essentials and homemade goodies to help settle you in – or for something more substantial, your host can deliver farm produce straight to your barn door. And when the sun shines, the beautifully landscaped courtyard is the perfect spot to relax with a book and sundowners. Then fire up the barbecue and firepit to keep the night flowing beneath a blanket of stars.

Alice's Farm

Baby Bath

Baby Changing Mat

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.
