Situated in the heart of picturesque Bourton-On-The-Water in Gloucestershire is this 250-year-old, three-storey, stone-built cottage, Barton Cottage.
Boasting character features including beams and exposed stone, and with amenities just a short walk away, this cottage makes an ideal base for a trip to the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
On arrival, find a rear, enclosed garden complete with a bistro set where you can enjoy a cup of tea in the mornings.
Inside, the kitchen, dining area and sitting areas open up into a social hub for your group, where you can find everything you need for a relaxing, self-catering break, including a well-equipped cooking space and dining table for four.
After dinner, be sure to snuggle up around the woodburning stove and take advantage of the Smart TV.
After watching a film, climb upstairs to the bedrooms; a light and airy twin and a sleek bathroom rest on the first floor, while a king-size with a vaulted ceiling rests on the second floor.
Explore your surroundings and treat your loved ones to a meal out; you will be spoilt for choice with the selection of pubs and restaurants in the centre of Bourton-On-The-Water, or there is The Mousetrap Inn, which is just a stone’s throw from the cottage.
Make your way to the high-street for a range of boutique shops, as well as the quaint Model Village, a delightful way to spend an afternoon.
Walkers will enjoy the nearby Windrush path, which winds along the Windrush River, while avid bird watchers may want to make a stop at Jurassic Journey.
Heading outside of the village, you can discover the National Trust’s Chedworth Roman Villa, an ancient estate of 4th-century ruins with a museum.
Animal lovers can venture further south for a visit to the Cotswold Wildlife Park and Gardens, or if you plan your timing, you are in a prime location for reaching Cheltenham for the Racecourse and popular Cheltenham Festival.
For shopping, culture, and more hustle and bustle, Gloucester is also within easy reach of the cottage.
Whether you want a relaxing retreat or a fun-filled escape, choose Barton Cottage as your base.
