Perfect for a romantic rural retreat, this cottage is full of chocolate-box charm. Small in size, it still packs a punch with added extras such as the wood burner and roll-top bath, ideal for relaxing and warming up after a day out hiking the Cotswolds with your four-legged friends by your side. The cosy kitchen is well-equipped with all you need to rustle up homemade dinners, or for a meal out, the local pub is a mere two-minute walk away.
