Cottage in Gloucestershire Gloucester, Gloucestershire

Holiday Rental Description

This 300 year old Grade II listed cottage is in the rural hamlet of Cambridge, which takes its name from the River Cam that flows through it. Slimbridge Wetland Centre (2.5 miles) is a beautiful nature reserve that is great for a walk and learning about wildlife conservation. The cottage provides an ideal base to explore the Cotswolds AONB, with access to great walks and traditional market towns. Stroud (8 miles) is well worth a day trip to visit its independent boutiques and cafes. Every Saturday is the Stroud Farmers Market, which is well known as one of the biggest, busiest and most popular in the UK. Also worth a visit is Tetbury (13 miles), the second largest town in the Cotswolds which is home to King Charles III at Highgrove House. Visit the gardens of Highgrove House or spend the day exploring the picturesque town with its many boutiques and eateries. After a busy day exploring the Cotswolds, head back to your traditional rural retreat to relax and enjoy quality time with friends and family. Step straight into the charming lounge which is brimming with character with its exposed beams, traditional doors, and an inglenook fireplace with a cosy wood burner, perfect for relaxing with a good book or enjoying a film together on the Smart TV. Off the lounge is a separate dining room to enjoy a lovely meal together after making use of the fantastic local produce you can pick up all over the Cotswolds. The fully equipped kitchen brilliantly mixes the old with the new, with its traditional feel yet all the modern conveniences you would expect for a self catering stay away. Head upstairs where the traditional cottage feel continues, there are two lovely bedrooms, one with a double bed and the other a twin room making this house a great choice for families or friends visiting this beautiful part of the country. The bathroom has an adjacent WC just a few steps away. The main outdoor space for this property is to the front of the cottage with a large garden laid to lawn with garden furniture and a charcoal BBQ. This is a great space to relax and dine alfresco in the warmer months. There is also a small courtyard garden to the rear of the property which gives you side access to the property through the kitchen.
