This former barn is the definition of a characterful stay. It's chockfull of traditional touches, be it wooden ceilings, the original hayrack in the kitchen, or a cosy fireplace built in Cotswold stone. But there are a few surprises in store, too – our favourites being the freestanding bath in the main suite and the mezzanine-style bedroom with its enormous Crittal windows. Outside, a private patio offers views of the apple orchard, making it the perfect setting for sundowners. Keen to explore? Chocolate-box villages like Stow-on-the-Wold, Bourton-on-the-Water, and Chipping Norton are all within a twenty-minute drive away.

Home truths:
*The second bedroom is on the mezzanine and boasts floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the living area. It has a super king-sized bed, which can be split into two singles on request.
*The bathtub in the main suite is freestanding in the bedroom, so it lacks a little privacy.
