Escape to the heart of the Cotswolds with a cosy stay in this charming cottage in Coln St Aldwyns. Oozing warmth, this is a true home away from home. After days out hiking the local trails, the only decision you’ll need to make is whether to soak in the clawfoot tub or relax in front of the fire to soothe tired muscles. And with a quaint enclosed garden, this is an idyllic escape in the summer months, too. With a country kitchen nestled under beams, whipping up family feasts is a breeze – though you may be tempted to dine out at the village pub instead.

• One well-behaved dog is welcome to join you for an additional £47 per stay.

• Your host works with local vendors to provide a variety of in-cottage services for an additional fee, including wine and cider tastings, private chefs and dining experiences, hampers and food boxes, cooking classes, yoga sessions, floristry workshops, craft kits, massages, and beauty treatments.

• Your host can also help arrange paid experiences in the local area – these include horse and bike tours, helicopter rides, paddleboarding, spa days, and a wide range of days out.
