Wake up in the elegantly simple bedrooms before fixing up a hearty breakfast. Then lace up your walking boots for a ramble along the surrounding nature trails that are brimming with birds, herds of deer and wild orchids in the nearby woodlands. After a day of walking, riding or exploring the market town of Stow-on-the-Wold – five minutes away by car – come back home for a barbecue on the front patio as you watch the sunset turn the meadows a dazzling shade of gold.

Old Fox Cottage
Old Fox Cottage, Plum Guide home in England, UK
Click to book Old Fox Cottage now: from £200 per night Located a stone's throw from the famous Fleece Inn, this delightful cottage is the definitive answer to that longing we get when driving past all those charming thatched roofs in the Cotswolds. Experience what it's like to sleep in a living arrangement that's just like the old days. The hosts have worked tirelessly to deliver symbiotic interiors that feel both modern and historically charming at once; the greatest example of which being the upstairs bedrooms. Both of these are tucked under beams and eaves but still maintain an atmosphere of luxury through high-quality bedding and furniture. Start your day by enjoying your breakfast in the bright conservatory, then go on a trip to the nearby villages. If cooking during your country break is not on the cards, the Fleece Inn is steps away and serves traditional English favourites. Then return home to enjoy a quiet night in by the TV or watch the sun go down from the cushioned window seat. Sleeps up to 4 | 2 Bedrooms | 1 Bathroom

Reached via the stunning glass-paned walkway, each bedroom has its own stylish decor, complete with en-suite and walk-in closet. One en-suite has a delight of a free-standing bathtub, another almost feels like a woodland sauna. Socialise in the large open-plan kitchen and dining area, with top-of-the-range appliances to make life that little bit easier. Outside, the courtyard’s comfortable seating and peaceful surroundings invite you to fire up the gas barbecue and while away the evening. This is a home where life on the farm is a thrill, and staying in a barn feels the height of luxury. Sleeps up to 6 | 3 Bedrooms | 4 Bathrooms
The Dervish
The Dervish, Plum Guide home in Warwickshire, UK
Click to book The Dervish now: from £140 per night The Dervish is the perfect example of a place that doesn’t need to be overly flashy to be impressive. On the first floor of a charming cottage in Broadway, it’s a lovely little den to retreat to after a day in the countryside. The mix of textures and soft furnishings bring warmth to the spaces, while the generally neutral colour scheme works well with the contrasting Cotswold stone and stripped-back beams. There are also a few nods to Istanbul, where Julia and Tarkan lived for many years, which adds a personal touch to proceedings. Sleeps up to 4 | 2 Bedrooms | 2 Bathrooms
