This charming cottage offers a romantic escape for two in the Cotswolds. It’s in the village of Minchinhampton, a market town with pubs and a lively weekly market. There are National Trust walks nearby, in addition to the Gloucestershire countryside. The characterful cottage boasts original features including exposed beams and stonework – it’s a cosy place to call home. There’s a well-equipped kitchen and a pretty patio for dining alfresco when the weather allows.

Home truths:
*While children cannot be accommodated here, babes-in-arms are welcome. Your host can provide a cot and high chair.
*The staircase to the first floor is curved and steep; it may not be suitable for those with reduced mobility. This is a period property with low doorways and ceilings.
*There’s on-road parking just a short walk from this home.
