Property code: OC-93251

Located within the Cotswolds AONB and surrounded by conservation woodland and wildflower meadows, this holiday home is an absolute dream for dog people. Take your pets on satisfying walks though quintessentially British landscapes of rolling hills, sweet villages, woodland and stone walls. The property is an attractive rustic farmhouse with oodles of room for up to 14 guests, making it perfect for a large group of friends or multigenerational family trip.

The property has a spacious layout with plenty of room for your group to spread out over its six bedrooms (including one super-king zip-and-link room on the ground floor), three bathrooms, huge open-plan living area and sunroom (from which one of the super-king zip-and-link bedrooms is accessed via an open-tread staircase up to a mezzanine level). It’s been beautifully modernised with plenty of its original features still intact, such as exposed stonework and lofty vaulted ceilings. When you’re all tired out from day trips, sink into one of the many sofas and watch TV, while your pets stretch out on the rug at your feet. Keen chefs will feel right at home cooking up feasts on the AGA, then dishing out their creations at the large dining table for 12. Outside, the fully enclosed garden is a paradise for dogs and children, with ample space to play. You’ll be able to dine alfresco on the patio, which is conveniently accessible from the kitchen/dining room.

You’ll be 1 mile from the town of Lechlade-on-Thames, where traditional pubs and independent shops await. The river here is navigable, so you can enjoy water-based activities like boating with your pets and embark on leisurely walks along the water. The wider Cotswolds area is wonderful for exploration, with picturesque towns like Burford, Cirencester and Bibury within 15 miles.

  • 6 bedrooms – 3 super king-size zip-and-links (all can be made up as twins on request), 1 super-king-size, 1 double and 1 bunk bedroom plus spare trundle bed

A fantastic place to stay for an extended family get together. The location was great, perfect for walks and to explore the Cotswolds. The house had the most amazing boot room we used daily.
