Little Gables
Description
Little Gables is a stylish Grade Two* listed property which sleeps 6+1 guests, in three well presented bedrooms (with the +1 option being a camp bed in the master bedroom), with two bathrooms. This stunning Cotswold stone property has a wealth of character features including exposed wooden beams, stone mullion windows, flagstone flooring and a grand inglenook fireplace with a wood burning stove. These period features have been complemented by modern facilities such as wireless internet access, a Smart TV with BT TV, and a well-equipped kitchen. There is a delightful south facing garden at the rear, and off-street parking is available for three cars.
Little Gables is located in the heart of the vibrant village of Broadway, one of the most picturesque Cotswold villages and home to a variety of restaurants, family-friendly pubs, art galleries, boutique shops and tempting tearooms. There are also a number of attractions on its doorstep including the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway, the iconic Broadway Tower which sits within a 50 acre estate and offers spectacular views from its summit, and a three acre children’s recreation ground which has facilities for all age groups.
The village is surrounded by glorious countryside and features on the well-trodden Cotswold Way long distance walking trail which takes in the strenuous climb up to Broadway Tower. In the other direction the Way heads towards the chocolate-box village of Stanton, home to The Mount Inn, and circular routes bring walkers back to Broadway via Laverton and Buckland. Broadway is also ideally located for exploring the many lovely towns and villages of the North Cotswolds including Chipping Campden, Moreton-in-Marsh, Blockley and Snowshill, as well as further afield destinations such as Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwick Castle and the dreaming spires of Oxford.

What guests are saying
Little Fables is the most gorgeous cottage filled with original charm.
3 lovely bedrooms, bathroom and shower room. Kitchen is well equipped with a fabulous Aga. The beds are comfy and bedding all provided. This was our 2nd visit to Little Gables it’s so quiet with little light pollution, we slept so well. The garden is beautiful with a lovely patio to enjoy good weather. Highly recommend so much so we have booked for a 3rd stay in summer 27.
What a lovely cottage!
Our family of four had an amazing stay, everything was so charming, and the location is incredibly convenient. Parking was so easy and the proximity to the lovely playground was a bonus. Favorite memories include cooking breakfast on the Aga stove and sitting on the beautiful patio beneath the wisteria vines. What a magical time we had at Little Gables!
Had a lovely week in the Cotswolds staying in this idyllic cottage.
It really had the wow factor! The entire cottage has been tastefully decorated, is well maintained and was spotlessly clean. The kitchen was very well equipped with the aga being a fabulous feature . Can imagine how cosy this would be in the winter. The garden was absolutely gorgeous and so well maintained and with the weather being so lovely all week we spent many an evening having a bbq and enjoying the late sunshine in it. The cottage is ideally located at the top of the village with a short stroll down to the many shops and cafes. Added bonus is the little artisan bakery next door where we bought the most amazing sourdough. We truly had a fantastic week staying in this stunning cottage. The owner Karl kept in touch and nothing was a bother if we needed anything. Thank you Karl and thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful home. We would not hesitate to rebook this again in the future and would be more than happy to recommend this to friends and family We would not hesitate to book this again.
