This 17th-century cottage is an idyllic getaway for those looking to experience the Cotswolds and all its natural beauty. Full of character with original wooden beams (you’ll need to mind your head in some places), the interior feels modern and cosy – it’s an inviting space to unwind after a day walking the local trails. If you’re visiting in the summer months, enjoy a barbecue in your outdoor area, and in the colder season, grab a book from the shelves and put your feet up by the inglenook fireplace. Situated on the outskirts of the picturesque Stow on the Wold, you’ll be within easy reach of the National Trust’s Chastleton House and some excellent pubs, making this an ideal spot to experience the Cotswolds.
