Do you have a question about this home or the local area?

Spread over three floors, this Grade II listed stone cottage nestled in the hillside is the perfect base to explore the Cotswolds. The three bedrooms, spread over the first and second floors, all offer views of the local area, inviting you to jump out of bed and head out along one of the nearby footpaths that take you through idyllic Cotswold viewing spots. Back at home, the living room area, although too small for everyone to use at the same time, offers a wood burner in a fireplace that creates a cosy atmosphere.

Home truths

    If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a high chair and travel cot for free. You'll need to request this in advance and bring your own linen for the cot.

    The living room is a little on the small side, with sofa space for only three guests.

    This home is spread over three floors, with one bedroom and the bathroom on the first floor, and the second and third bedrooms on the second floor. Anyone sleeping on the second floor will need to go downstairs to use the bathroom at night.

    The staircases are quite narrow here. It might be difficult to bring bulky luggage upstairs.

    Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car. There’s free on-street parking nearby.

Its narrow streets, lined with ancient honey-coloured stone buildings, lead to a beautiful parish church renowned for its 99 yew trees and intricate table tombs, creating a scene that feels almost suspended in time. This tranquil village, set amidst the rolling hills and lush valleys of the Cotswolds,...
