This chocolate box thatched cottage is just off the main road in the quiet village of Gotherington. With views to the hills beyond and neighbouring traditional houses, you will know that you have arrived in a quintessential English village.

Through the white picket garden gate and along the paved path you reach the entrance hall where you can leave your boots. Step into the living room and instantly feel at home with its large comfortable sofas that you can sink into. Through glass sliding doors is the conservatory where on clear days you can enjoy the hill views. The living room then leads you up to the snug where there is a welcoming red corner sofa and low feature beams. Up one step and passing a handy utility you reach the incredibly well-equipped traditional kitchen diner. The three patio doors open to the garden letting plenty of light in and make it easy to dine al fresco. On the first floor are four double bedrooms, two of which have en-suites, and the luxurious family bathroom with a jacuzzi bath.

The patio garden is made for enjoying time outside beneath the countryside hills. With a choice of seating areas and two BBQs, you can grill up a feast and make the most of your holiday time together. To the rear of the house are two dedicated parking spaces and you have use of a car charging point by the front parking space. This quiet village getaway is family-friendly and perfectly positioned for village amenities and the Cotswolds beyond.

Ground Floor

Entrance Porch:
When you reach the cottage, you will enter via the porch which is a useful addition providing space to hang your coats and store footwear. The convenient bench helps you pull on your boots ready for exploring one of the many walks in the countryside.

Living Room:
This country cottage living room has wooden beams which contrast nicely with the calm, neutral tones of the décor. Whitewashed wooden panelling, stonework, and artwork, some of which is by local artists, add detail to the walls to create a warm, cosy atmosphere that makes you feel at home. Two sumptuous sofas and feature occasion chairs sit in front of the gas fire and large curved smart TV. Nestled under the stairs is a four-seater dining table perfect for board games.

Conservatory:
From the living room, sliding glass doors let additional light in from the conservatory where there is a large corner sofa. The gym equipment is not for guests' use but you'll much prefer putting your feet up and enjoying the surrounding hill views.

Snug:
One small step from the living room takes you up to the snug which is a cosy little hideaway with characterful decorations and an electric fire. A large red corner sofa, TV with Sky included and neon Tiki Lounge sign give a holiday atmosphere. Take a seat and relax watching quiet village life through the small bay window.

Utility Room:
Another step takes you to the utility room. There is a washing machine and dryer which you can shut away to keep noise to a minimum. This room is also great for wiping muddy boots as there is a sink and an additional toilet.

Kitchen/Diner:
This incredibly well-equipped room is decorated in muted tones with country cottage details and a slate-tiled floor. It is light and airy with three sets of double doors leading to the patio garden. With all the equipment you could need including a gas hob, oven and microwave you can make yourselves at home cooking your favourite meals. A dining table seats 6 and there is an island bar with space for 2, perfect for children to eat together.
