Asphodel Cottage will take your breath away, without question! Situated in the sleepy village of Tarlton (half way between Cirencester and Tetbury) this thatched cottage is possibly the most romantic cottage we have come across. Dating back over 400 years it was once home a particularly tall shepherd which explains the higher than normal ceilings! Internally the property has been carefully, restored to provide superb self catering accommodation, with many Cotswold charms such as original oak beams, flagstone floors and inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove. The property also has many contemporary touches with quality bed and bedding and a sumptuous bathroom which altogether create a real sense of luxury. The cottage has a delightful garden with superb views across Cotswold countryside with the source of the River Thames just a short walk away. Altogether a fairytale cottage, we thoroughly recommend this property.

Local Information
Tarlton is a delightful village situated mid way (approximately) between the two attractive Cotswold towns of Tetbury and Cirencester. Although there are no pubs in the village there are many nearby, some within a reasonable walk. For the antique hunter, Tetbury is a treasure trove with an excellent selection of shops plus cafes, pubs and restaurants to choose from.
Slightly further afield, but certainly within an hour is Bath and its stunning attractions. In terms of attractions there are many nearby, but of particular note is the Westonbirt Arboretum. Beyond are a wealth of Cotswold villages including Burford, Bibury, Stow on the Wold and Bourton on the Water not to be missed.
