Set within four acres of gorgeous countryside, at the end of a yew lined private driveway, you’ll find this honey-hued Cotswold stone home. From licks of Farrow & Ball paint, a welcome hamper stuffed full of local produce – and a bottle of champagne no less – to four-poster and half tester beds dressed in Colefax and Fowler floral prints, your hosts have gone above and beyond with quality touches to ensure you relax in luxury on your much-deserved getaway. Start your day with a treatment at the on-site spa so exclusive it was featured in Tatler, followed by a gentle stroll through the award-winning gardens. In the afternoon, sit out on the south terrace with a pitcher of Pimm’s as the kids play with the puppet theatre in their own private den. Retreat to the drawing-room with your book or drift off in the hammock as the chef of your group gets the barbecue going, ready for an evening of good food and even better company on a balmy summer’s night.
