It doesn't get more Cotswold than this honey-hued stone cottage in the unspoiled village of Lower Slaughter. Named one of the prettiest homes in the region by Country & Town House, it neighbours the River Eye and has all the period character you'd hope for – exposed beams, flagstone floors and an open fire – without sacrificing comfort. We're dreaming of mornings in the orangery as the sun spills through, evening soaks in the tub and cosy evenings fireside. With five bedrooms, views across the village green, and a walled garden with a stone patio, the outdoor space is just as hard to leave. Upper and Lower Slaughter hold their own, with award-winning restaurants, gastro-pubs, and peaceful riverside walks right on your doorstep.
