Getting cosy in the Cotswolds has never looked better than when staying at this colourful barn. We love its playful and fun design – your hosts have let their imagination run wild. There’s a great colour palette going on here – pink, teal and palm prints in the large, beamed kitchen, a sumptuous navy in the living room, and a different tone in each of the six bedrooms. There are also not one, not two, but three freestanding bathtubs to choose from – a yellow one in the master, a pink-checked one, and an outdoor tub for when you want to feel a little wild and free. For warmer, sunny days, the barn surrounds a private courtyard where you can catch a few rays if you’re lucky, or simply enjoy an alfresco meal – there’s even a Weber barbecue for you to flex your culinary muscles. Outside the comforting walls of the home, you’ll find plenty to keep you busy. The Cotswolds is renowned for its charming, honey-stone villages, and of course, you’re never far from a pub. There’s also plenty of walking to be done if you feel the need to stretch your legs. But don’t stay away too... long – that outdoor tub is surely calling your name.
