Sitting in the small market town of Minchinhampton, this Grade II listed cottage opens its doors to the magic and charm of the Cotswalds. Built during the 1800s as a worker’s cottage, there’s a poetic beauty to this home. It’s the kind of space that captivates you from the moment you arrive, inviting you to experience a different way of living – one that is rich in character and style. Sensitively restored to honour its heritage, every detail has been considered to bring warmth and comfort to your stay. So whether you’re preparing breakfast in the cosy kitchen, cuddling up by the wood burning fire or taking a long soak in the bath, it’s easy to relax into the gentle pace of countryside living. Stepping outside, the orchard and garden truly captures the idyllic nature of this setting. And when the weather is cold and crisp, you can enjoy views across this natural haven from one of the lovely window seats. Days can be spent hiking through the countryside – Minchinhampton has some beautiful walking trails as well as a small selection of delightful restaurants. There’s also easy access to the rest of the Cotswolds – Stroud is only a twelve–minute drive...
