If you're looking to stay in this beautiful part of the world, there's a good chance you'll be hoping for some Cotswolds staples. The traditional stone cottage? Tick. A cosy fireplace in the living room? Got it. Plus wood floors, window seats, bags of character and a pretty garden. What you might not be expecting is striking art, quirky touches and a neatly modernised space so homely you'll feel like you've moved in. Grab a book from the shelves, cook a meal in the kitchen-diner, this beautiful place is yours to enjoy. If you absolutely have to check on work while you're away, there's a fully kitted-out garden office, and if you happen to be lucky with the weather there's a barbecue and outside furniture for some summer socializing. Near the heart of this scenic town on the southern edge of the Cotswolds, you'll be able to stroll one way to the nearby lakes or the other to the banks of the River Thames. The town is known for its great range of places to eat and drink, or drive just twenty-five minutes to the area's largest market town, Cirencester.
