Set within four acres of countryside in the picturesque hamlet of Bruern, this family-sized cottage is in the heart of the Cotswolds. It’s one of twelve cottages converted from the Victorian stableyard and outbuildings of Bruern Abbey. Guests here have access to a shared indoor swimming pool, fitness suite, spa, sprawling gardens with playparks for the kids and free bicycles and pedal cars. Hiking trails meander across the countryside from your doorstep and the villages of the Cotswolds are a short drive away. The cottage itself has two private terraces with a barbecue for meals outside. The kitchen has everything you need for self-catering and you can take advantage of chef-made ready meals for sale onsite. The bonus is a working fireplace in the living room – ideal for blustery nights.

Within a holiday estate, guests here have access to several shared facilities including an indoor swimming pool, gardens, playparks for children, a spa and fitness centre, and free mountain bike hire.
