This quintessentially English cottage, constructed from golden-coloured Cotswold stone, is a charming place to stay near Chipping Norton. Situated in the picture-perfect village of Idbury, it’s perfectly located to make the most of the Cotswolds. Go walking in the nearby fields, passing rivers and streams along the way, or choose to visit the famous towns of Burford, Stow-on-the-Wold and Bourton-on-the-Water. There are also several Michelin-starred pubs nearby, like The Plough and The Wild Rabbit. Back at home, picture yourself enjoying a cup of tea amongst the greenery in the garden, or relax on the lawn, soaking up the sun. Inside, oak beams, exposed brick walls and wooden floors are a reminder of the home’s history, while a wood-burning stove will warm you up after a winter’s day exploring the countryside.

Home truths:
* Although there are plenty of walks nearby, you'll need a car to get the most out of the area
