The property
This is a very special and Award Winning holiday home.
Set in the heart of Moreton in Marsh, Cotswold House is very much the grand (and perfect) Cotswold Retreat, presented beautifully and stylishly with huge, spacious rooms, fabulous 'floor to ceiling' windows and all within a hop, skip and jump of Moreton's many restaurants, pubs and shops.
In fact we'd go as far to say this is one of the most unique and attractive holiday houses anywhere in the Cotswolds.
We absolutely adore it and it appears so too do previous guests who voted it the Cotswolds' Best Holiday Cottage at the Cotswolds' Concierge Awards!
The building dates back to the early 19th Century and while many features remain, today it is fitted with some stunning touches - oak flooring, top of the range kitchen (including Aga) and some lovely bathrooms.
Each of the rooms are unique, with a flair that demonstrates the owner's creativity and film-making background!
Downstairs the ground-floor rooms have a lovely flow, perfect for entertaining or simply 'hanging out' before you pootle off to Moreton.
(You can stay in and play snooker or darts if you prefer).
Upstairs the bedrooms, which are spread across two floors, are a joy.
There is ample off street parking, plus you're just 2mins from the train station which whisks up from London in about 1 hr 25 mins.
This is an excellent holiday cottage in every respect, perfect for a large family or for a large group who fancy a home for a 'proper' holiday or equally perfect for a short weekend trip to the Cotswolds.
