This stunning lodge and its self-contained annexe combine to create an unforgettable four-bedroom rural retreat in an idyllic corner of the Cotswolds. Yet, despite the feeling of privacy and seclusion, you're actually only five miles outside Cheltenham Spa – the eighteenth-century spa destination turned modern festival town. The main building offers three king-size en-suite bedrooms that can be turned into twins on request. Up the stunning cantilever staircase, you'll find a fantastic open-plan living space on the first floor with sliding doors that open out onto a full-length 'skydeck' terrace to make the most of those epic views over the Severn Vale and beyond. The smaller chalet-style annexe is reminiscent of a Cotswold cottage. It manages to squeeze in a king-size mezzanine room above a kitchenette – pre-stocked with a range of high-end ready meals – plus a couple of single sofa beds that are perfect for younger guests.
