This hand-crafted wooden cabin sits nestled in a private garden in St Catherine’s. Nature lovers will be in perfect heaven here thanks to the views and easy access to walking trails across the Cotswolds. You’ll also find it’s just a fifteen-minute drive to Bath and there are some lovely pubs about two miles from here. The owners live just down the hill, but you’ll have your own private garden where you can relax in the wood-fired hot tub (available for an extra fee) or if you prefer staying indoors, there's a roll-top bath. Dressing gowns are provided for extra comfort (just bring your own slippers), and the little kitchen has everything you could need for light bites and drinks.
