If you fancy waking up to the sound of blackbirds singing in the trees, then this home is for you. This picture-perfect cottage is located in an idyllic corner of the Cotswolds and offers the perfect countryside escape for a large group looking for some fresh air and good times. It dates back to the 1800s, and you'll find plenty of traditional touches reminding you of the building's long history, from the antique dining table and original flagstones to the wooden beams – remember to watch your head. The interior is cosy yet spacious, with room for all your guests to find some peace and quiet, and the outdoor space is equally brilliant. The garden is filled with mature trees and grassy lawns, all enclosed by an ivy-covered drystone wall, making it the ideal spot to enjoy a family barbecue on balmy summer evenings. There are several lovely walks and cycling trails in the area, which take you through the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Stow-on-the-Wold is just a seven-mile drive away, and Sudeley Castle is five miles away, so you're within easy reach of some of the area's most charming attractions.
