Perfectly placed for exploring the best of the North Cotswolds, this peaceful cottage is as charming as its surroundings. Wake to garden views and fresh pastries from the village bakery, then head out to explore nearby Stow-on-the-Wold. Back at home, the open-plan living area is made for together time, prepare supper in the kitchen, then settle by the wood-burning fire with a glass of red. Upstairs, you’ll find two bedrooms with traditional touches. Outside, the garden is an ideal spot for alfresco meals and morning coffee. With space for two well-behaved dogs, this cottage offers a warm, relaxed base for country rambles.
