Sitting on a country estate boasting expansive gardens and a tennis court, this storybook home lets you reconnect with your loved ones in an idyllic retreat. Imagine staying during the lambing season and enjoying springtime picnics by the pond – or coming back from a winter walk and setting up a board game by the roaring fire. Awash with lavish interiors, you'll gather in the elegant dining room and help yourself to a continental breakfast. We think the old-fashioned library gives you the perfect excuse to unplug from the world. Once you've returned from an adventure, treat everyone to a feast prepared by a professional chef. As for the evening entertainment, why not sing at the piano and play charades after a glass of wine or two? Nuzzled among green pastures, this splendid home promises easy access to its surrounding chocolate-box villages. Perhaps you'd like to tour the Cotswold Motoring Museum & Toy Collection in Bourton-on-the-Water, less than fifteen minutes from here. Or, Stow-on-the-Wold lies just nine kilometres away, rich with history dating back to the Romans. Twenty minutes along the road, Little ones will love all the fun to be had at Adam Henson’s Cotswold Farm Park.
