This collection of impeccably restored Grade II listed homes is where we would want to relax in the Cotswolds. It's more than a home – better described as a retreat, with space for up to 24 guests to come together, connect, and unwind. There's everything you need here – a home cinema, a gym and wellness space, a Jacuzzi, and an infra-red sauna. With multiple kitchens and lounges, there's plenty of room to spread out and have your own space, before gathering in the banquet hall. When evening comes, the garden is ready for barbecues and drinks – and just beyond, local pubs, cafés, and countryside walks await, with the Wysis Way and Cotswold Way within easy reach.
