Great for a small family looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life, this cottage is calm, cheery, and within walking distance of idyllic Cotswolds villages. The beautiful town of Buford is on the doorstep of the home. A walk or cycle through the surrounding Windrush Valley will transport you through history, from ancient ruins to medieval villages, and there’s a local pub to end the day in. The stable-style door opens up to the petit kitchen where farm-fresh eggs can be whisked up to make breakfast, perhaps served in the cottage garden outside. Filled with greenery and blooming flowers, there are a few seating options scattered across this private space. The living room is set around a wood-burning stove with a plush velvet sofa inviting you to rest your feet after a bracing country walk.
