This carefully renovated apartment under the eaves of a Grade II-listed barn conversion is an idyllic escape for a couple or solo traveller looking to spend some time in the Cotswolds. The interiors are delicate and strong all at once – the original timer beams and exposed brickwork add a rustic charm to the elegant swathes of cream and taupe. After a peaceful slumber in the cosy bedroom, begin your morning on the patio with a tasty breakfast and strong cup of tea put together in your well-appointed kitchen. If the weather’s right, pull on your walking shoes and explore Cold Aston. Take a leisurely stroll around the village or set off on a yomp through glorious countryside to Bourton-on-the-Water – it’ll take you around an hour if you go at a leisurely pace. Find a spot by the River Windrush and relax in the dappled shade with a couple of sandwiches or try out the stellar selection of cafes and tearooms. On your way back home, stop off at the pub a minute from your doorstep for a slap-up feast and well-deserved gin and tonic.
