Escape with your four-legged friend to this characterful three-bed cottage in a lovely rural location within 2 miles of Shipston-on-Stour. Explore the wider Cotswolds area, or take it easy in your holiday home from home. The red-brick, double-fronted cottage exteriors have a rustic charm, while the practical interiors offer traditional elements alongside all mod cons and comforts. Relax or enjoy al fresco feasts in the private garden area which is within the owners’ grounds. Versatile sleeping quarters lend it perfectly to being an ideal base for any couple or small group of friends.
This spacious cottage offers a choice of rooms to take time out or make memories. Cosy up by the lounge’s open fire in cooler months, or play games, study or chat in the adjacent room with armchairs and a table and chairs. The well-equipped modern kitchen has a semi-open-plan feel with the adjacent dining room located in a conservatory-style extension flooded by light from overhead Velux windows in the sloping ceiling and regular windows affording lovely garden views. Upstairs, there’s one en-suite king-size bedroom and two comfortable single bedrooms. There’s a table and chairs in the pretty, enclosed garden within the owners’ home grounds.
Take your furry pal for walkies along the River Stour and maybe combine it with a meal out as eateries and pubs abound in bustling Shipston-on-Stour. You’re set just on the edge of the Cotswolds, so you can really get to grips with this gorgeous area full of pretty honey-coloured stone villages. It’s an ideal getaway for walkers and cyclists with winding trails through the picturesque countryside. Other gems include Bourton-on-the-Water (16 miles) and Stow-on-the-Wold (12 miles). Both are traditional Cotswold towns and, as such, get busy in the high season but make good early-day trips.
