Ninety acres of pastureland, ancient woodlands, and wild lakes await at this picture-perfect Cotswolds retreat located just a twenty-minute drive from Cheltenham and Stow-on-the-Wold.

Set out across three-period cottages (all a five-second walk from each other), and with enough space for all sixteen of you to pile in, no one needs to be left at home for this holiday.

With one home dating back to the arts and crafts movement, and another boasting a listed status, these elegantly styled homes ooze period charm. Spill out into the large open plan living space of the main house (with three bedrooms) and cook up a hearty feast – there’s room for each and every one of you (and a few extra guests) around that magnificent banquet table. But if you'd rather have a night off cooking, head to your nearest traditional inn for upper-crust grub and a warm welcome (a nineteen-minute drive away).

A home to enjoy in all seasons – take things outside into the vast gardens for a barbecue and a muck about on the gently sloping lawns when the sun shines. And in chiller months, hunker down beside the fire and savour the views from the deep, sumptuous sofas instead.

Should you fancy a change of scene, Cotswold’s hotspots, including Stow-on-the-Wold and Bourton-on-the-Water, are just a twenty-minute drive away. Though you may find all the Cotswolds charm you’ve been chasing is right here at home.
