The space
Set on the edge of one of the Cotswolds’ most sought-after villages, Cotswolds Country House is designed for relaxed, memorable stays—long lunches in the garden, slow mornings filled with light, and cosy evenings by the fire.

In summer, days revolve around the private heated pool and outdoor dining; in winter, the house transforms into a warm, inviting space with underfloor heating and a log fire at its heart. It’s a house that works just as well for lively gatherings as it does for quieter, restorative escapes.

More information available on Cotswolds Country House website on how you can enjoy your time at the house or in the local area.


Living & Entertaining

The house centres around a large open-plan living space, filled with natural light from French windows that run the length of the room.

A generous kitchen island makes cooking and socialising effortless, with everything flowing seamlessly into the dining area and sunroom—both overlooking the garden and pool. Whether it’s a celebratory dinner or a relaxed breakfast, the space is designed to bring people together.

A separate lounge can be opened up or closed off to create a more intimate snug, perfect for evenings by the fire.


Bedrooms & Bathrooms

Upstairs, four thoughtfully arranged double bedrooms provide comfortable, flexible accommodation:

One superking (can be configured as twins)

Garden & Heated Pool

The private garden is a real highlight of the house.
