It’s no surprise this beautiful home was featured in House & Garden. One look at its carefully curated decor and you’ll know exactly why its interiors were lauded for their salvaged materials and keen sense of vintage design. 
 
Once an old tailor's workshop dating back to 1906, the owners have lovingly restored the original timber-framed and corrugated iron building, keeping much of its characterful history intact while bringing a freshness and individuality to its renovation through thoughtful repurposing.
 
The main living space stunningly contrasts vintage industrial pieces with contemporary modern furnishings to create a boutique atmosphere in which you’ll love relaxing. We love the warmth of the wooden panelling offset by the simple white floors, as well as the midnight blue walls courtesy of Farrow & Ball. The long, rustic dining table beckons celebratory meals and sets a tone of conviviality that is felt throughout, while a Czech pommel horse works as a coffee table next to a Victorian sofa, creating a blend of textures and eras that feels like a seamless step through history.  Factor in the industrial pendants hanging from the ceiling, not to mention the wonderfully comfortable bed dressed in Egyptian cotton sheets, as well as the gorgeous copper shower, and you’ve got everything you need for a singularly stylish stay. 
 
Your locale in the heart of the quintessential Cotswold village of Woodmancote makes it easy to explore this bucolic region, with countless picture-book towns and villages a short car journey away. Cirencester is a twelve-minute drive, Bibury is reachable in twenty-two, while Cheltenham is twenty-three minutes away by car.

Set within a 1,600-acre farm, this renovated stable is a slice of peace and a pop of colour in the Cotswold countryside. When you arrive you'll be greeted by a picture-perfect dream cottage, filled with the original oak beams, chic country flair, and a pretty master bedroom with a view and French doors into the garden. Your nearest neighbours are another stable, so the home is perfect for switching off all communication and settling in for a stay of walking, reading, and eating. The open-plan kitchen and lounge space is ideal for cooking together, as well as a comfy sofa in front of a log-burner, perfect for cuddling up after a day exploring. On sunny days, we love opening the French doors and letting in the fresh air, before wine and nibbles on the south-facing patio. If it gets cold, you can light the fire pit - which is also great for roasting marshmallows. The huge farm is open for exploring, with walks over fields, as well as to the farm's shop, where we love to stock up on food produced on the home's doorstep. The spot is in an excellent location for exploring some of the area’s most picturesque villages, while Cirencester and its smarter restaurants are only a 20-minute drive away.

Nestled away on a quiet winding road in the Cotswolds, this quaint country cottage will provide a great backdrop to countryside getaways with family and friends. Whether you're looking for a back-to-nature break filled with hiking trips and cycling routes, or a peaceful place to chill out and spend some quality time together, you'll find everything you need at this home-from-home.

Inside, the home has everything you'd expect from a classic countryside cottage – exposed beams, a wood burner fireplace and chintzy prints all make it feel like a home from a fairytale. You can spend sunny days out exploring the green and leafy surroundings of the home. Then, come back to cook up delicious feasts in the fully-equipped kitchen, and tuck in around the dining set. Enjoy chilly evenings costing up by the fireside with a cup of hot chocolate, before having a lovely soak in the bathtub to soothe tired muscles after long adventures around the Cotswolds.

Nice to haves

A south-facing walled garden, period features aplenty, and a wood-burning fire to hunker down beside. This 18th-century stone cottage in the sleepy Cotswolds village of North Cerney is ticking all our boxes. Location-wise, you’re just seven miles from the bustling market town of Cirencester – known as the Capital of the Cotswolds. Or keep things closer to home with a circular countryside walk followed by a swift pint or dinner at your local pub (just two minutes from your door). You’ll be in for a warm welcome.

Countryside Bliss

Combining a traditional stone exterior with a renovated interior, we found this former barn to be the perfect base for relaxing after an excursion into the Cotswolds. With a twin room that can be turned into a double, the home is ideal for both families or two couples. We love how cosy the living area is, with underfloor heating and a wood-burning stove being an antidote to any bracing weather outside. When it's sunny, the enclosed garden is great for games and letting the kids tire themselves out. Further afield, you'll find plenty of Cotswold villages accessible by foot.

Located in the charming market town of Cirencester, this Grade II listed cottage is the perfect base for a couple or close-knit group of friends looking to spend some time in the capital of the Cotswolds. Inside, it’s modern yet characterful – we loved the original timber beams, log-burning stove and charming spiral staircase that leads to the cosy second bedroom. Should you have some work to attend to, there’s an office space for you to set up your laptop. 

Wake up with a coffee in the quiet living space before putting together a tasty breakfast in the farmhouse-style kitchen. If the weather is on your side, spill out into the garden and finish cups of tea at the bistro set in the warm sunshine. 

Pull on your comfiest shoes and get to know your surroundings. You’re a seven-minute walk from the indie shops that cluster around Market Place and five minutes from the Barton Lane entrance of Cirencester Park – an excellent place to stop for a picnic. Take a dip in the spring-fed, open-air pool in the heights of the summer, follow bridleways that snake through the unspoilt countryside or jump in the car and spend an afternoon in pretty Bibury, a fifteen-minute drive away.

This cute-as-a-button cottage in the beautiful village of Poulton is the ultimate Cotswolds hideaway. Think honey-brown stone walls with an A-frame doorway, and a private garden bursting with bloom fit for the Chelsea Flower Show. Spend sunny days gathered together on the lawn, listening to birds sing and breathing in the fresh and flowery scent of the cottage garden.

Inside, it’s an ode to cottage-core living, with wooden beams running along low ceilings and the old stone bread oven in the living room harking back to the cottage's 400-year history. Plush sofas are made all the more cosy with Angora throws, and there’s a small selection of books at the ready for those quieter moments. In the dine-in kitchen, a wood-burning stove and flagstone floors whisper of a bygone time. 

Your hosts take great pride in their home, and it shows, with a high level of attention and care evident down to the last detail. Upstairs you’ll find two tastefully coloured bedrooms alongside a gorgeously bright bathroom with a tadelakt finish. Downstairs to the rear of the cottage, inspiration has been drawn from the Japanese onsens, manifesting in a garden spa bathroom complete with cedar shingles and exposed brick, which opens out onto a private courtyard. Outside, your hosts’ passion shines through even more, with handmade willow fences and sunshade. To the front of the cottage is a herb and flower-filled garden in which you can spend summer days dining alfresco or lazing about on one of two deck chairs.

Set in the centre of the Cotswolds, you are perfectly positioned for exploring the north and south of this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty at your leisure. The picturesque town of Bibury is just a ten-minute drive away, while Roman ruins lie six minutes in the other direction in Cirencester. Closer to home, why not take a stroll to The Gilbertine for a spot of brunch, or try out the Village Inn at Barnsley, or The Crown at Ampney, both just a five-minute drive away.

Bursting with Bloom

Set in Ford, an attractive hamlet along the banks of the River Windrush, this romantic cottage offers the highest levels of charm and comfort for your Cotswolds escape. It’s hidden away within the grounds of the host’s own home, but offers complete privacy. There’s a small but well-equipped galley kitchen with a Nespresso machine and milk frother for a little luxury morning coffee. But our favourite bit is the four-poster, king-size bed which guarantees a luxurious night’s sleep. just what you need after a day tackling some of the best hiking routes in the Cotswolds. The Cotswolds Way runs right by the cottage and walks around Sudeley Castle are just a few miles away.

Set on a thousand-acre private estate, this 17th-century manor house is the perfect rural escape. The Grade-II listed home is the ideal setting for a family reunion, and kids both big and small will be kept busy with the range of activities on offer. 

Inside is a well-equipped games room with numerous games to play including pool and table tennis. There's a carpeted area with a sofa so you can keep an eye on the little ones as you get your game on. 

In the luscious three-acre garden you'll find a large, sparkling swimming pool, where you can splash around on sunny days. Take a break and fire up the Weber barbecue, and once you've refuelled, why not challenge the family to a game of tennis on the private court, or let the kids run wild in the large outdoor play area complete with a climbing frame and slide? There's even a zip line if you're feeling brave. The surrounding rural landscape is characterised by rolling green hills and dramatic limestone valleys, and with direct access to Cotswold Way, it's perfect for country walks with the dog or leisurely bike rides. 

Spend the morning at the Cotswold wildlife park, before heading to one of the picture-perfect villages for a spot of afternoon tea. Or, explore the nearby Georgian town of Cheltenham – just seventeen minutes away by car – where you can head to the races, or indulge in some retail therapy at the boutiques. As the day draws to a close, enjoy alfresco dining under the stars or have a family game night around the fire. With traditional interiors and plenty of original character, it won't take you long to feel right at home here. 


Thyme & Sage

This Grade II listed home happens to be one of the oldest buildings in Charlbury. And while some parts may date back to the 1400s, the rest has been thoughtfully curated to inspire optimum comfort and relaxation. Set across three floors, the rooms are cosy and well-suited to families. It’s worth noting there are low ceilings on the top floor, but you will find an abundance of charm and a luxurious roll-top bath. There is also a walled courtyard with a charcoal barbecue, and your host can arrange sweet extras like hampers and food boxes. From here, it’s just a short stroll to the nearest shops and pubs, while hiking trails can be found within easy reach.

When you think of the Cotswolds, chances are you picture chocolate-box villages, cobbled lanes and that famous honey-coloured stone. Stow-on-the-Wold promises all that and more. It's home to chic restaurants, traditional inns, cosy pubs and plenty of independent shops ripe for browsing. With countryside walks on your doorstep and many Cotswolds attractions within driving distance, this is a desirable place to be – and we absolutely adore this cottage, which is smack-dab in the centre of town. Once an antique showroom, this inviting homestead is now filled with local artwork – including paintings by the host's grandfather – as well as The Cotswold Company furniture and every amenity you can think of. Snuggle up with a book in front of the wood-burner, challenge the family to a board game around the dining table or relax with a soak in the sumptuous master bathtub. The private courtyard is the perfect spot to savour a cup of tea or a cocktail in the sun. In the evenings, light the barbecue and enjoy an alfresco meal, gathering around the fire pit for toasted marshmallows when the air turns chilly. 

Host Susy goes above and beyond, providing everything you'll need, be it a complete dinner set and kitchen loaded with appliances and crockery to the luxury toiletries in the bathrooms. She can even arrange restaurant reservations and has a whole slew of recommendations, so you'll be in excellent hands.
