Quaint Courtyard Cottage

1 bedroom, 1 bed

Built in the 16th century, this Grade II listed home is believed to be the former Keeper’s cottage. You’ll find it just off the 16th-century market square in Tetbury, in a courtyard with private parking. This rustic, historic home is a cosy base ideal for two, though it won’t suit those seeking sleek, modern accommodation. We love the exposed stone and the wood-burning stove, which add to the charm. As well as having Tetbury’s antique shops and cafes on your doorstep, you’ll also be within easy reach of Westonbirt Arboretum, Gatcombe Park, and Malmesbury.
