The Cotswolds are famous for their idyllic English countryside and villages. For foodies there are great gastro pubs nearby. Free wifi, pet friendly, easy access from Heathrow, and a warm welcome.

This stylish newly renovated cottage is situated within the grounds of a country house and offers a rural retreat for those wanting to escape to the Cotswolds. The property is immaculately presented and has stunning views over the river valley. The property is located in an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and with plenty of nearby footpaths and bridleways, it is an ideal base for walking or cycling, and for exploring the local area.

The historic town of Malmesbury is just one mile away, and picturesque Tetbury is four miles away and offers a delightful selection of antique shops, delicatessens and restaurants.

The accommodation offers two bedrooms - a double with an en-suite bathroom, and a twin bedroom with an adjacent shower room. The open-plan kitchen and living room is well equipped with an electric oven, microwave dishwasher and fridge. There is a separate entrance hall, and a utility room with a washing machine and dryer. There is a private terrace and lawn outside, that overlooks the river valley, and a tennis court that can be used with prior arrangement.

Pretty Country Cottage

We had a lovely few days at Stable Cottage. Situated in a pretty, quiet country location, close to Malmesbury and Tetbury. Worth a visit. The cottage was comfy and well equipped. We will be booking again.

Such a lovely cottage

Lovely cottage in a lovely location. Host was also super nice. Just one thing to highlight is that the garden isn't fenced but we just kept our dogs on a lead

Great location for a quiet country break

Myself, my wife and our two dogs stayed at Stable Cottage over Christmas 2022. It’s a perfect location for a quiet break with beautiful countryside on your doorstep. Malmesbury is just down the road and a pretty little town with all the amenities you need and some good pubs. Hugo was a good host and the property itself is comfortable and well stocked with the basics - toilet roll, dishwasher tablets, iron and board, etc. Also a washing machine which came in very handy with the terrible weather. A couple of things which could be improved, such as the sink coming away from the wall in the main bathroom and the toaster sets off the smoke alarm, so maybe a new one is in order? Overall very happy with our stay and would book again.

Excellent property and location

Everything went smoothly regarding the renting of this very nice property, the owners were friendly and helpful, the only problem we had was a very hot shower which the owners had mentioned to us on arrival and they are getting a Plummer in the next few days, we’ve one suggestion which is an observation not a complaint and that is add some bird feeders in the wooded area outside to attract the wildlife even more.
