Cottages in the Cotswolds

Self-catering holidays in the Cotswolds

For a quintessential stay in the English countryside, book one of our Cotswolds cottages. Named after a series of emerald hills that undulate gracefully across six counties, the Cotswolds is rural England at its finest. An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the landscape is a patchwork of ancient woodland and leafy lanes, dotted with sleepy villages of honey-coloured cottages that appear straight out of a picture book. This richly rural area has over 3,000 miles of footpaths and bridleways to explore, making it a dream for walkers, hikers and cyclists, while wildflower meadows and ancient woodland shelter abundant wildlife. Our holiday cottages in the Cotswolds provide the ideal base for couples, families and groups of friends seeking a blend of adventure and relaxation.

A self-catering stay in the Cotswolds invites you to explore some of the country’s most picturesque towns, such as Bourton-on-the-Water, Stow-on-the-Wold and Bibury. While away hours browsing independent boutiques and antiques shops, or savour afternoon tea in a traditional tearoom. There’s plenty for garden enthusiasts with several of England’s finest gardens here including Abbey House Gardens and Westonbirt Arboretum, while Blenheim Palace, Newark Park and Sudeley Castle will delight those seeking a little history. Enjoy thermal spas and Georgian architecture in Bath, take a literary pilgrimage to Stratford-Upon-Avon, birthplace of William Shakespeare, or enjoy a family-friendly day at Cotswolds Wildlife Park and Gardens. Whether you’re seeking a couples’ hideaway, dog-friendly accommodation, a large holiday home for a big celebration or an intimate getaway with family or friends, browse our Cotswolds cottages above.
