This couple’s bolthole with a hot tub is perfect for a romantic getaway in the Gloucester countryside near the Malvern Hills National Landscape and the National Landscape. Spend your evenings relaxing in the chic open-plan living space while your two canine companions curl up by the fire. Enjoy the rural location of this cottage while still being within easy reach of Cheltenham (11.5 miles) and plenty of charming English towns.
Enter the converted barn and find yourself in the blue open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner with a wooden beamed ceiling and elegant decor. The ‘L’-shaped kitchen has blue cabinets and plenty of space on the white countertops for preparing home-cooked meals. Adjacent is an elegant, round dining table with four chairs. Continue to the lounge area to find an eye-catching contemporary wood burner, a Smart TV and two plump sofas. Also on the ground floor is a sleek white and blue shower room. Climb the stairs to reach the king-size bedroom with a skylight in the eaves of the property. Outside is an enclosed garden with a hot tub and furniture. There is also private parking for two cars.
During your break near the village of Tirley (1 mile), you could start with a stroll along the Severn Way walking trail to Tewkesbury (6.5 miles). Look around the historic Tewkesbury Abbey before browsing the shops and stopping for a pick-me-up at one of the pubs or cafes. Set tails wagging on an adventure in the Malvern Hills where you'll find the Golden Valley Nature Reserve and Eastnor Castle (both within 11.5 miles).
