Casa de Cotswolds

About this home

Wood ceiling beams, a log-burning fireplace, exposed stonework and no shortage of comfy sofas — at first glance, this home has all the hallmarks of a traditional countryside cottage, the sort of place where you spend evenings getting toasty and resting limbs sore from hill-walking.

However, as they so often say, appearances can be deceptive. Head out the back door and you’ll come across an elegant terrace that wouldn’t look out of place in a Mediterranean villa.

Here, you can gather around the firepit, enjoy feasts cooked up on the barbecue out on the large dining table or have a moonlit dip in the hot tub.

If the weather’s not playing ball, there are three living rooms and an indoor dining area that benefits from a bi-fold glass door taking up one side of the room.

Four bedrooms are perfectly furnished with the master bedroom having a super king sized bed, bedrooms two and four have king sized and bedroom three has a double as well as a sofa bed.

The master and bedroom one are complete with ensuite and then there is a further bathroom.

Of course, seeing as you’re on holiday, you might not feel like cooking at all. In which case, you’ll be glad to hear that there’s a gastro-pub at the end of the road, as well as two more in the next two villages over — both reached in about half an hour’s walk.

There’s off-street parking available for two cars on the narrow driveway and additional space for larger vehicles in Shaven Crown Hotel’s car park
