If you were to imagine an idyllic English cottage, there’s a good chance it would look something like this. The honey-coloured Cotswold abode has been lovingly maintained and carefully renovated, celebrating its original Edwardian features. At the front of the cottage, a cosy living room with a squashy sofa and sisal rug is the perfect place to retreat after long walks through the countryside. Then gather in the light-filled kitchen-diner for warming meals as the wood-burning stove crackles and pops in the background. To make your stay extra special, your brilliant host has lined up a series of memorable add-ons. Perhaps you’d like to excite the taste buds with a cider tasting event, best enjoyed best in the courtyard on a sunny afternoon. Or maybe you’d prefer an afternoon of utter relaxation at the hands of a professional massage therapist. When you’re ready to get out and explore, the pretty market town of Chipping Norton is less than a ten-minute drive or hour’s amble away. Closer to home, you’ll find The Chequers, a renowned gastro pub just three minutes around the corner and the famous Diddly Squat Farm shop, a mere five-minute car ride from your doorstep.
