This beautifully preserved Cotswold cottage delivers the cosy spaces and homey comforts one needs for a memorable country escape. But what's really special about this property is its idyllic village location with charming views from the garden of the nearby Burford Church. Full of original features and with a wood-burning stove and a generous garden, it makes a great choice for a family any time of the year. Uniquely, your host has collected a charming array of antique tins and other curiosities, providing this cottage with a distinctive personality. Tucked away down a peaceful lane, and with the added benefit of private outside space, in just a few paces you'll find yourself on the vibrant high street of this medieval market town, where there are plenty of quirky shops and charming pubs to discover. The picture-perfect village of Bibury is just ten minutes down the road - here you'll find a honey-coloured array of cottages that overlook a Thames tributary, some of which house quaint traditional tea rooms.
