Tucked down a quiet village lane in the Cotswolds, this honey-stone cottage delivers the kind of slow pace that's synonymous with this area. Vaulted ceilings and a log burner make the living room feel extra cosy, and French doors in the main bedroom open straight out onto the lawn – so mornings can start outside without any fuss. Breakfast on the terrace with a village church as your backdrop sets the day up well. Badminton Estate and Tetbury are both close by, as is Westonbirt Arboretum, making this a solid base for exploring the area.
