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.

The whole family, your furry friend included, are sure to make memories at this lakeside home in the Cotswolds. When we say the whole family, we mean it, since this home offers ground-floor ensuite bedrooms and a lift for those that require it for accessibility reasons. We’re sure you’ll make the most of the terrace overlooking the lake, dining and sharing drinks during the summer months, and if you happen upon a rainy day, the modern living room is a cosy spot to watch the rainfall. Location-wise, there are waterfront restaurants and cafes within walking distance. You’ll also have a host of watersports options at your fingertips, while the South Cerney golf course is a short drive should you want to practise your swing.

Set within the peaceful Lower Mill Estate, this modern two-bedroom apartment offers lakeside living at its finest. Wake to stunning views from your private west-facing balcony, then explore miles of walking trails through nature reserves or treat yourself to a pamper session in the estate’s award-winning spa. You can dive into one of the heated pools, try your hand at tennis, or hire a kayak for a tranquil paddle across the lake. Thoughtfully designed for comfort and relaxation, this home is the perfect base to disconnect, recharge and embrace the best of the Cotswolds countryside and waterside lifestyle.

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.

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.

The Country Gentleman

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.

Nestled within the heart of the Wiltshire countryside on a working family farm fringing the historic village of Avebury, this home is the perfect country getaway for those looking to escape the humdrum of urban living. Split into six separate buildings (or mews, if you will), there is plenty of space and privacy for all guests, and the communal gardens are ideal for gathering in the evening with a bottle of wine by the roaring fire pit, or getting together in the mornings for lazy breakfasts – the sourdough loaf in the welcome hamper is phenomenal. Or, if you're after a big cook-up, your host can deliver fresh farm produce right to your barn door. 

When bellies are full and the road calls, you won't have far to go for an adventure. Take a three-minute drive or half-hour's stroll into the local village of Avebury – it's an afternoon well spent with its traditional inns and charming shops, while the neolithic spectacle that is Stonehenge is a scenic forty-minute drive from home. Of course, for those looking to reconnect with nature, you won't have to look far as the Wiltshire countryside can be reached from your very doorstep and promises days of enthusiastic strolls, wildlife-spotting rambles, and relaxed meanders.

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

Indoor Pool

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

Sauna

Access to Gym / Spa

Nestled in a private estate, this lakeside hideaway makes the perfect setting for a refreshing rural escape. Outside you can admire the views from the terrace or the balcony. Inside, there is a wood-burning fire and plenty of space to stretch out and socialise. You can also enjoy access to the on-site facilities – including a swimming pool, sauna and gym. Two complimentary spa passes are included in your stay and there are a range of activities to keep the whole family entertained. From here, you can follow hiking trails or adventure further afield to nearby Cirencester – just a short drive away. 

Flowing Serenity 

If you’re in search of a serene retreat in the heart of nature, look no further than this cosy cabin. Sitting on the edge of Lake Pochard, you’ll be treated to beautiful views, a private terrace and a barbecue for outdoor dining. Inside, there’s a wood-burning fire for cosy evenings and all the home comforts you could need to settle in and unwind. Well-behaved dogs are welcome to join you and there are a range of extra services available – including massage treatments and organised experiences. Guests can also enjoy private coarse fishing on the lake and there’s plenty to explore in the surroundings. Plus, the nearest restaurant is just a short walk away.

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.

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

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.

Parking On Street

Set on a lake on the edge of the Cotswolds, this modern villa is all glass and wood against a backdrop of mature trees. The deck juts out onto the lake, where a couple of kayaks are moored for a quiet paddle. There are also bikes, boats, and use of the estates luxury spa and swimming pool on offer. Outdoor sofas and egg chairs are set up on the lower deck and second-floor balcony for a bit of seclusion. Inside, it’s all about social spaces with the huge open-plan living kitchen and dining room dominating the ground floor. A concrete-get breakfast bar rivals the chandeliered dining table for a place to dine. It’s the living room that really draws you in, set around a modern wood-burning stove. Be sure to pack your walking boots – you'll want to spend time exploring the rolling countryside and abundant wildlife that makes this corner of England so special. At the end of a long day, you'll be delighted to come home to the crackling sound of the fire, the lavish beds and, if you've bagged the master bedroom, a relaxing soak in the freestanding bathtub. 

Willow Lodge

If you’re in search of a slow-paced Cotswolds escape, this family home offers a cosy solution. Inside, there’s wood-burning stove to ensure optimum warmth and comfort. The rooms are perfect for groups with plenty of space to stretch out and unwind. There’s also a garden with a barbecue for warm weather days. And when it comes to location, you can stroll into the heart of Lechlade and it’s just minutes to the River Thames. It’s also a great base for exploring the prettiest villages and hiking trails in the Cotswolds.

Rooftop Terrace

We don't think it's an over-exaggeration to say that this has to be one of the most remarkable homes in our collection. Perched on the banks of Huntsman Lake, you're never short of an exquisite view because the whole exterior is made of glass. Yes, that's right. The unique property was designed by the Dutch architectural firm Mecanoo and is full of luxuries and surprises.

Head up to the roof, for instance, where you'll find a huge terrace complete with a garden and a sweeping panorama of a further three lakes. Closer to the water, there's another decking area where you can relax on one of the loungers and watch the local birdlife.

The only place in the house which isn't treated to sights of the jaw-dropping scenery is down in the basement. Why head down here, you ask? Well, there's a nine-seater cinema, bar area, Jacuzzi, sauna and full-size snooker table. That's why.

Back upstairs, the interior design does its best to demand your attention against fierce opposition and succeeds at times with the bold modern artwork, designer furniture and staircase carved from a 500-year old tree from Slovenia. The kitchen is a thing of beauty too, with both tandoori and pizza ovens, plus a wine fridge — which the concierge will fill up upon request.

In a home that constantly manages to surprise, the fact that it has excellent eco-credentials is another string to its bow. A combination of an air thermal heat pump, solar panels, heat recovery systems and triple-glazed glass means that energy consumption is low, while the wood on the exterior uses the Japanese technique of Shou Sugi Ban for waterproofing, rather than chemicals. Venture outside in the summer and you can hire a boat or go wild swimming in the lake, or book a go on the zip-line and experience the landscape from a thrilling perspective.

Although you might think that it would be hard to beat the immediate surroundings when it comes to looks, the Cotswolds AONB can be reached in ten minutes' drive and has some pretty swoon-worthy views itself. The town of Cirencester only takes twenty minutes to reach in the car, too.

Time For Reflection

Set in the sleepy village of Poulton, yet just a few minutes' drive from historic Cirencester, picture-perfect Bibury, and Cotswold Water Park, this Grade II-listed cottage offers the best of both worlds. Dating back to the 17th century, exposed beams, original stone flooring, and a wood burner bring all the cottage charm, and the sociable kitchen diner overlooking the garden is a nice touch. Rather keep things easy? The village pub is just an amble away for upper-crust grub. Or fire up the barbecue in the enclosed, private garden – set back from the street, it's blissfully quiet.

Poulton's Hidden Gem

Perfect for a family break, this apartment set within a Cotswolds holiday park offers relaxation and fun in equal measure. Those looking to unwind will be tempted by the shared amenities, including an award-winning on-site spa and communal swimming pools, while active types will no doubt want to try their hand at the many watersports on offer (with equipment available to rent). Bike hire, shared tennis courts and a communal gym are on hand too, while the on-site restaurant offers the perfect excuse to take a break from cooking. That said, the home’s private balcony offers a spot for alfresco dining – best enjoyed facing the beautiful surroundings, a glass of wine in hand.

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.
