Tucked into the heart of Lower Swell, this honey-stone Cotswolds cottage is the kind of village escape that makes it genuinely hard to leave. The walled garden terrace is made for long alfresco evenings – a barbecue, outdoor dining, and a lawn for children to run free. Inside, a log burner anchors the living room, and the sunny dining room fits eight around the table with ease. Stow-on-the-Wold is around a mile away, but you'll likely spend your afternoons at the village pub first, just a short walk down the lane.
