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.

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.

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.

Green Is The Colour

Satellite / Cable TV

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.

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.

Nestled into the grounds of Arlington House, in the very heart of the Cotswolds, The Sycamore is the perfect weekend getaway for a cosy couple. Just a few minutes' walk from Arlington Row and the village's local pub with its roaring fire, wonderful brews and hearty food, this is a great location for those who want to enjoy long country walks in a beautiful setting, then end the day with a wonderful meal and a pint or two. Back at the home, you'll be delighted by the mix of sumptuous fabrics, antique furnishings and modern amenities. But it's the gabled roof and double-height windows that create a space that is both cosy and majestic for a holiday you won't soon forget.

In a converted 18th-century building, this cosy apartment captures the spirit and charm of the Cotswolds. Get your fix of slow-paced town life in Cirencester centre, an easy stroll away with its lovely eateries, weekly markets, and local theatre. Known as the Capital of the Cotswolds, there are plenty of green spaces to discover here, whether you're picnicking in Abbey Grounds or exploring a nearby walking trail. Heading back, the exposed brick and plush furnishings really help it feel like a home away from home. Whether you're travelling as family or friends, the sofa bed makes for flexible sleeping arrangements so everyone is comfortable.

Originally built to house cattle, your hosts have thoughtfully converted this once-humble seventeenth-century bothy into a romantic Cotswold retreat for two. Step inside, and you'll discover an open-plan living area that's been designed with you in mind. With elegant limestone floors, a compact yet well-equipped kitchen and a vast antique mirror that helps bounce light around the room. Climb the spiral staircase up to the bedroom and en-suite bathroom with exposed wooden beams, a neutral colour palette and an irresistible combo of modern and antique furniture. Up here, you'll also find a door that leads directly onto the stone steps outside – originally used by a herdsman who would've slept above his cattle. You'll find the charming village of Bibury right on your doorstep – once described by William Morris as 'the most beautiful village in England'. You're just a few minutes' walk from a local pub, with a crackling log fire and garden, as well as the iconic Arlington Row Cottages. Slightly further afield, visit the picturesque town of Burford, its famous High Street – lined with tea rooms and antique shops – sweeps down towards the River Windrush, with plenty of intriguing alleyways and delightful side streets to explore.

This Grade II listed Cotswold stone cottage is tucked away in the village of Upper Slaughter. From here, you can easily explore charming Cotswolds villages including nearby Bourton-on-the-Water and Stow-on-the-Wold – make sure you bring a car. The cottage is full of charm, and features ancient beams and an inglenook fireplace. Children will love the outdoor playroom, and the patio outside is great for summertime barbecues. The steep stairs here mean that this home won’t be suitable for everyone.

This charming farmhouse beckons many a guest seeking time away from the daily nine to five. Set in the quintessentially English village of Bladon, on the edge of the Cotswolds, you’re in a beautiful part of the world to down tools and set off exploring. Take a stroll around the village to seek out the parish's links to Sir Winston Churchill. Enjoy a brisk walk over to Blenheim Palace (thirty minutes on foot) to marvel at the monumental baroque architecture. Or jump in the car to visit the chocolate box villages of Stow-on-the-Wold and Burford, both just 30 minutes drive away. When thoughts turn to food, you’ll find plenty of pubs and restaurants in the pretty neighbouring town of Woodstock (a two-minute drive away). However, we wouldn’t blame you if you’d rather just cosy up at home. There’s a traditional kitchen made for action, with a large farmhouse dining table at its heart. We hear the welcome basket hamper of eggs, bread, milk, teabags, and other goodies has all you need to whip up a hearty breakfast. And when it’s finally time to lay your sleepy head, climb the winding staircase to discover serene bedrooms (each with en-suites) with soft, muted tones and beautiful antique furniture. Just like a traditional English cottage should be.

Second Nature is the best of both worlds. Found on the edge of Cheltenham, it’s only a short drive from the city, while still feeling incredibly idyllic and rural because of its immediate surroundings. Ideally placed for countryside walks, the Cotswold Way passes right behind the home, along with several other walking paths. We loved the attention to detail – the handmade, one-of-a-kind four-poster bed is truly something else. And let’s not forget about the views… We particularly enjoyed gazing at the green fields from the living room window.
