Elegant and cosy, this home is the perfect retreat for couples looking to breakaway to the peace and quiet of the Cotswolds. You might even find yourself falling head over heels for the outdoor space, with a hot tub, barbecue and seating area – we bet you can already see yourself spending sunny afternoons out here with nibbles and wine. Not only is this home, with its blend of stone, wood, and a sleek kitchen and bathroom, a pleasure to be in, but its location borders the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, which really makes it a base for avid hikers who’d like to explore more of the natural beauty on foot. Walk the trails, stop off at restaurants for romantic meals, and stroll the town hand-in-hand as you try to find the perfect spot for a holiday photo. Back home you can cook together, enjoy breakfast in bed and coffee out on the terrace so you can appreciate the fresh air and quiet, spend sunsets in the hot tub, cuddle up on the sofa with a movie, and stargaze after dark.
