With unrivalled views of the Windrush Valley, this Cotswold cottage is the perfect choice for a family reunion or a special occasion with friends. Lavish bedrooms guarantee a good night’s sleep, and the living space, complete with a wood-burning stove, is the ideal spot to hunker down in the colder months. Outside, you’ll find a terrace for meals in the sunshine. When you want to stretch your legs, a network of footpaths leads from the village, but if you fancy exploring further afield, Bourton-on-the-Water and Stow-on-the-Wold are less than a twenty-minute drive away.
