Set within four acres of countryside in the heart of the Cotswolds, this former carriage house provides a relaxing stay for close friends or a small family. The interiors may feel dated to some, but we think the place has a quintessential English charm. Outside, there’s a private dining terrace, and in the wider grounds, you’ll find a play area for the little ones, a communal pool, a gym and a games room. Your host also provides complimentary mountain bikes for getting around.
