In the heart of Painswick, this pretty cottage promises a cosy Cotswolds getaway. The front patio is the perfect spot for a cup of tea or an evening cocktail, and we adore the views of the historic church from the original windows. Inside has charm in spades. The living room may not be the biggest, but it's stylish, snug, and just the thing after a day in the country air. A pair of peaceful bedrooms await you upstairs – there's even a wellie wall if you forget your walking shoes. Best of all, furry friends and little ones are welcome here, too.
