Located in Great Rissington, Gloucestershire, this 4-bedroom cottage in the heart of England sleeps 7 and is situated near the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Built around 1840, the cottage was renovated in 2010 as a country retreat with modern amenities such as central heating, new bathrooms, and a fully equipped kitchen. It has been rated 4*GOLD by the English Tourist Board for 8 consecutive years, maintaining its traditional character with features like deep windows, beams, a wood fire, and a Rayburn cooker.
The cottage is located on a quiet country road, ensuring a peaceful and traffic-free environment. Guests can enjoy a five-minute walk to a traditional English pub with excellent food, while also taking in views of the rolling Cotswold countryside from the back of the property. The large cottage garden features a patio, barbecue, and outdoor dining area, providing a perfect setting for relaxation. Additionally, guests are pampered with fluffy towels, toiletries, and an extensive selection of books, including children's books and toys.
In December 2016, the cottage was awarded a Gold rating by the English Tourist Board once again, certifying it as family-friendly and suitable for cyclists. Amenities such as cycle hire, storage, a cot, high chair, toys, plastic cutlery, and crockery are available for guests. Due to coronavirus restrictions, the property is currently unable to provide a cot. Located in Cheltenham, the cottage offers easy access to nearby attractions such as Cotswold Motoring Museum, Fosse Gallery Fine Art, and Cotswolds Woollen Weavers, making it an ideal destination for families and outdoor enthusiasts looking to explore the picturesque surroundings through activities like fishing, hiking, cycling, and horse riding.
