Visit The Cotswolds
COMFORTABLE AIRBNB HOLIDAY HOMES
The Cotswolds is one of the most beautiful areas in England, where a short break or even an extended holiday will leave you wanting more. Its vast rolling hills, golden stone walls and picturesque country villages make it the ideal location for a relaxing and cosy countryside break.
From amazing food and beautiful national trails to lively market towns, wildlife parks, palaces, castles and country houses, the Cotswolds offers unlimited opportunities for exploration whatever the weather.
Pet-Friendly Holiday Cottages
DOG-FRIENDLY AIRBNB HOLIDAYS
When your pet is part of the family, it’s only right that they come on holiday with you. That’s why we are pet-friendly. From a warm welcome and the freedom to explore the UK’s amazing Cotswolds, your pet will love you for bringing them along.
Your dog will be in heaven, snuffling through the leaves, collecting sticks, splashing in streams and of course, finding every muddy puddle. After a day playing in the countryside, they’ll love snuggling up in their warm beds with their favourite toys.
Places To Visit
GET OUT AND ABOUT
As well as the fantastic places to eat and drink and walk in the Cotswolds, the area also offers an abundance of activities for families, couples and individuals come rain or shine.
From shopping and sightseeing in iconic cities such as Bath and Oxford and enjoying the area’s many historical marvels, you might also wish to visit the local wildlife parks, water parks and picture postcard villages such as Burford, Stow on the Wold and Bourton-on-the-Water.

It was a lovely little ground floor apartment but we had to drive 15 mins into Burford for dinner both evenings as there isn’t much around other than one... read more pub over the road. It’s in an incredibly tranquil and peaceful little village.
Parking is made available in the car park for the Village Green opposite but there was an event there on Friday night and Saturday as well and there wasn’t any parking available to us so we had to drive up and down the street to find somewhere to park.
The apartment itself is really well cared for, all the facilities worked well. It’s a great base to explore the surrounding areas

There is a small co-op a short walk away that has everything you maybe need. Kitchen had everything you would need to cook as well. Unfortunately the washer/dryer was broken upon arrival, would just recommend alerting guests ahead of time if any included expected amenities will not be available so alternative plans can be made. Overall a great place, thank you!

Heating through the whole house, a 2 minute walk from a gorgeous pub (the hare). The place was spotless, a huge TV with Netflix and other platforms so you can relax at night.

We visited Fire and Wine for pizza which we would definitely recommend, also FarmEd which was really interesting. We also visited Stow-on-the-Wold and the Hawkstone brewery. Next time we would like to explore Bourton-on-the-Water and Burford.
Would definitely like to stay there again when we next visit our friends.
