Immerse yourself in the great outdoors when you stay in this Cotswolds cottage. Set on an estate, you'll have access to a host of shared amenities, including an indoor pool, on-site spa and gym, games room, and gardens ideal for an afternoon wander. Even better, the private walled garden is perfect for alfresco breakfasts, while the cosy (if a bit dated) living area has plenty of room for families. Complimentary mountain bikes are available, catering can be arranged, and babysitting can be provided if grown-ups fancy a night on the town. Speaking of, there are plenty of country pubs nearby, and Kingham is only three miles away.
