This Grade II listed Cotswold stone cottage is tucked away in the village of Upper Slaughter. From here, you can easily explore charming Cotswolds villages including nearby Bourton-on-the-Water and Stow-on-the-Wold – make sure you bring a car. The cottage is full of charm, and features ancient beams and an inglenook fireplace. Children will love the outdoor playroom, and the patio outside is great for summertime barbecues. The steep stairs here mean that this home won’t be suitable for everyone.
