Ever stayed in a renovated tractor shed? Well, you’re in for a treat with this two-level home. It’s full of rustic charm, but that’s not to say it doesn’t have all the mod cons you’d expect. There’s a large, well-equipped kitchen-diner, and a cosy log burner. We love that the bedrooms have super-king and king-sized beds and there’s a sunny courtyard garden for enjoying some produce from the local farm shop. Just a few steps from this home is the Cotswold Way, perfect for a hike, or explore the nearby spa town of Cheltenham.
