English Cotswold Stone Cottage - Upper Slaughter
Summary: Embrace the allure of the Cotswolds at Jasmine Cottage in the enchanting Upper Slaughter, Gloucestershire. This Grade II listed stone cottage, a gem from the 19th Century, offers a delightful fusion of historic charm and modern luxury, providing an unmatched boutique experience. Revel in the authentic character that echoes through the walls, complemented by contemporary comforts and high-end finishes.
Set against the pastoral backdrop of one of the most picturesque villages in the Cotswolds, Jasmine Cottage is the quintessential country hideaway. Its unique appeal lies in the balance between its rich heritage and the plush amenities that make every stay special. Perfect for family holidays, friendly gatherings, or a romantic retreat, the cottage invites you to unwind in a tranquil setting, surrounded by the timeless beauty of the English countryside.
Indulge in the luxury of history with the conveniences of modern living at Jasmine Cottage. Book your idyllic escape and immerse yourself in the serene elegance of Cotswold living.
The Space: Jasmine Cottage showcases much of its original architecture from exposed sandy-coloured Cotswold stone to ancient beams and an inglenook fireplace. It features exquisite details, modern touches and is painted in beautiful tones from the Farrow & Ball range.
The cottage is ideal for couples, friends or families - enjoy an afternoon together on the sunny patio and light a BBQ and experience a unique cooking experience on the Kamodo ceramic BBQ. It comes complete with everything you need to start grilling, roasting, pizzas and smoking! Admire the established garden plants whilst the children play in the outdoor playroom. Alternatively, snuggle up in front of the inglenook fireplace after dining on the rustic oak table; cook up a storm in the fabulously-equipped kitchen; or hunker down in the cosy lounge with its atmospheric log burner and a plethora of board games.
Upstairs there are 3 bedrooms - on the first floor admire the ensuite master bedroom with king-size bed, luxurious roll-top bath and natural stone tiles. Climb the 2nd staircase through a small doorway to the twin room with exposed beams and a picture window or sleep in the 3rd bedroom with a double bed and dressing table and travel cot. With fast broadband and a built-in desk in the 3rd bedroom, it makes for a great remote working base too.

Perfectly located and charming Upper Slaughter cottage within walking distance to Lords of the Manor, Lower Slaughter and Bourton-on-the-Water. Clean, modern bathrooms and kitchen and a lovely garden out back for al fresco dining. We had three adults and one teen and there were plenty beds - twin beds are best for children. Appreciated the nespresso machine and pods, too.

Authentic Cotswolds
All as great as the ad showed - a bit smaller than the photos make you believe…. But it really is cute and authentic! We really enjoyed our stay with the outdoor and indoor spaces being really welcoming. Quiet area in a beautiful village. What a memory for our family! Thank you.

Jasmine Cottage
We stayed two weeks in this delightful cottage in Upper Slaughter. The location is very good for exploring the area and is close to a first class range of restaurants and pubs.
Our host was very attentive and the accommodation most comfortable. We recommend a stay here

Lovely property, great location
We had a lovely stay at the property. Upper Slaugher is a relatively quiet little village, with easy access to everything you want to see in the Cotswolds (and we have been many times). The house is lovely, has a really nice kitchen and dining area, and a comfortable living room where we enjoyed the wood-burning fireplace. A small point but worth mentioning: communication from the owners/managers was particularly good.
Only things to note is that there are a lot of uneven stairs, so it may be a bit harder for older guests or very small children. Access to two of the bedrooms requires caution to avoid bonking your heads (the rooms themselves are lovely). Also, a bit unusual: toiletries are not provided other than hand soap, so bring your own.
Overall, a nice bolthole and a great jumping off point to enjoy the area.

Weekday trip
Beautiful cottage in a quaint little village. Very helpful and friendly property owners. Stylishly decorated with everything you need for a great time. Perfect if you’d like to dine in Lords of the Manor. A (characterless) pub about 15 mins walk in upper slaughters and Clarksons brewery about 40 min walk. Great location to drive to all of the best places in the Cotswolds. Will definitely stay again.
