Historic coziness and comfort: The cottage boasts two inviting living rooms adorned with 200-year-old oak beams and an inglenook fireplace, alongside a bar-billiards table for indoor entertainment.

Outdoors: A private garden which includes a paved patio invites you to enjoy the sunshine and dine alfresco with our traditional Cotswold stone barbecue. The local butcher is a short walk away and is excellent. Be careful if you buy any of the 'California reaper scotch eggs' though! They are super hot.

Contemporary Amenities: With good wireless internet, a Smart TV, DVD player, and Bose Bluetooth speaker, modern comforts are at your fingertips.
