Perfectly nestled in the heart of rural Gloucestershire, this idyllic cottage welcomes guests to immerse themselves in Cotswolds life. With rolling countryside views from every angle, this home overlooks the historical St. Mary's church, which, although no longer open, looks utterly picturesque. If countryside rambles are your thing, this place is a must-visit. With a selection of wonderful walking routes to choose from, you'll never be short of new things to see and do. Take a short stroll out and you'll arrive at one of the best local pubs in the area, with a menu of delicious homemade meals to choose from. Here you'll also find a choice of local brews on tap, so whether you love an earthy IPA or you prefer something a little lighter, your taste buds are sure to be left tingling. Inside, this dog–friendly retreat has been beautifully decorated right through. Natural-toned tiles pave the floors downstairs, and the fully-equipped shaker kitchen features a breakfast bar and stools, presenting the ideal spot to enjoy a hearty bowl of porridge in the morning. Sumptuous, purple velvet cushions and a medley of tonal, soft furnishings bring the cosy living room to life, meanwhile upstairs, crisp white bed linen and bold flashes of green, blue and pink are introduced by the cushions, throws and accessories. Love a spot of al fresco dining? When the sky is blue, retreat to the sheltered, sunny patio area and tuck into mounds of sweet strawberries and cream before cheersing with a flute of fizz – heavenly!
