Explore the picturesque English villages of the Cotswolds from this charming cottage in the heart of Andoversford. Featuring Cotswolds stone, there's a natural comfort to this little family pad. We also love the blend of modern furniture with rustic exposed beams. The wood-burning stove is a nice touch, and so is the barbecue and ample seating outside. The kids will also enjoy the back garden, where they can expend leftover energy. As for the location, Bourton-on-the-Water, Bibury, Stow-on-the-Wold, Cirencester, and Cheltenham are all a short drive away.
