A celebrated interior designer put the finishing touches on this home, and it shows. This charming cottage is a stylish but comfortable base for your Cotswolds stay, with everything you might need for a countryside break. The cottage can be found in the pretty village of Ampney St Mary, just an eleven-minute drive from the pubs and shops of Cirencester. For more Cotswolds charm, you might drive twelve minutes to Bibury. Stroll through the village admiring the architecture before stopping in a cosy cafe for lunch. If you arrive feeling tense, a visit to the spa at Barnsley House – eight minutes away – might be on the cards. Indulge in spa treatments before tucking into afternoon tea – absolute bliss. You’ll be able to get in plenty of relaxation back at the cottage, whether you’re curled up reading beneath the wooden beams in the living room or you’re soaking up the sun in the patio garden. The open-plan kitchen and dining room calls out for dining together en famille, and the garden has a dining table for those sunny days too. Picnic, anyone?
