Unwind amidst the rolling hills and traditional villages of the North Cotswolds at this postcard-pretty lodge tucked away in Chipping Campden. Admired for its wealth of beautiful architecture and history stretching back to Saxon times, this is Cotswolds at its best – and the same can be said for this charming cottage. Recently restored throughout, while lofty exposed oak beams and honey Cotswold stone walls remain to tell of the lodge’s rich heritage, everywhere else is beautifully reimagined for luxurious modern living. Upstairs, on the first floor, you’ll find one hug of a king-sized bed feathered in quality Egyptian Cotton awaiting in the two serene double bedrooms and a luxurious rolltop bath for post-hike evening soaks. While up into the eaves on the top floor, you'll find a characterful third bedroom with twin beds that would perfectly suit children or friends sharing. But it’s back downstairs in the expertly extended living areas where we think you’ll spend most of your time together. Hunker down in the cosy lounge for board games and catch-ups. Then spill out into the light-filled dining area overlooking a pretty courtyard garden for drinks and nibbles. And though cooking is a joy in that made-for-action kitchen, those... charming local inns and top-notch restaurants on your doorstep might just be too tempting.
