Being over 200 years old, the cottage has a wealth of character with beams, the original Cotswolds stone floor, stone walls and a lovely fireplace. Recently the holiday cottage has been lovingly refurnished and offers a high standard of accommodation whilst maintaining the charm and atmosphere of a traditional period Cotswolds stone cottage.

The holiday cottage benefits from private parking for 1-2 cars which is located at the front of the cottage. From here the cottage is approached through the garden which is a sun trap and a perfect place to get away from it all and relax. Table, chairs, sun umbrella, BBQ and sun loungers are provided in the warmer weather for guests use.

This room also has a widescreen television (with DVD player and iPod docking), HiFi, a selection of DVD/CD's plus wireless broadband access throughout the cottage.

At the rear of the cottage is the kitchen area which is well equipped with a gas cooker and hob, microwave oven, fridge, freezer and washer dryer. The shower room is also located at the rear of the cottage with a standard sized toilet and basin and a walk in shower cubicle with electric shower.

Upstairs is the bedroom which again has lots of character with exposed pine wooden floor boards, beams on the ceiling and views over the garden. A very pretty hand made four poster bed, crisp linens and antique pine furniture help to create a very special and truly romantic atmosphere.
