You’ll have the Cotswolds on your doorstep at this country cottage in the historic village of Bretforton. Hikers, bikers and Shakespeare fans are well catered for here – you’re close to the Cotswold Way (a long-distance trail through the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) and just a thirty-minute drive from the medieval market town of Stratford-upon-Avon. While the home itself isn’t the most luxurious in our collection, it still has plenty to offer. You can warm up around the wood burner on a chilly evening, soak up the sun in the conservatory-style sun room, and breathe in the fresh country air from the private courtyard garden. Plus the local pub is just a short stroll away – perfect for a pint after walking the dogs.
