Cosy as can be, this cottage is nestled in the heart of the Cotswolds. Blockley and Moreton-in-Marsh are nearby, while Stratford-upon-Avon is thirty minutes away and ideal for day trips. Back home, two separate seating areas offer space to unwind. One has a wood-burning stove – the perfect setting for a glass of wine – while the other has a DVD player and makes a wonderful snug for the kids. Come summertime, enjoy quiet moments in the garden and its surrounding views. Just note that this place is packed with traditional features, including a steep flight of stairs that won't suit everyone.
