Perfectly positioned to enjoy the outstanding natural beauty of the Cotswolds, Peony Cottage is a unique holiday home for families and friends alike, within walking distance of fine-dining and spectacular countryside. 
You will be greeted by a complimentary welcome pack, offering a taste of Cotswolds luxury! All produce is sourced from local farms and businesses, the pack will include sausages, bacon and eggs, juice, preserves, homemade cakes, artisan cheese, a bottle of wine and much more!
In your fabulous dining- and drawing-room you will find a beautiful open fireplace beside a modern TV and several comfortable seats, an antique Irish dresser packed with Masons Ironstone dishes and a large, handsome desk, with windows on three sides flooding the room with natural light. Our fabrics and wallpapers, ranging from luscious chenilles and velvets to shimmering silks and crisp linens and cottons, are produced by designers including Nina Campbell, Mulberry, Colefax and Fowler and Watts of Westminster. The kitchen is a traditionally style space with a fridge/freezer, hob and oven, Belfast sink, dishwasher, microwave and a sturdy pine table for casual breakfasts and snacking.
All three bedrooms can be found on this ground floor, and include a master suite, a twin room and a single room. All three feature the same deluxe furnishing, with a mahogany four-poster king-size bed hung in white in the master bedroom, two handsome wrought iron beds in the twin room and a faux bamboo four-poster bed in the single room. The master suite features an ensuite shower-room, white-tiled from floor to ceiling with a vast washstand, while the other two share a bathroom. Both warm and elegant bathrooms are entirely marble-tiled, with an invigorating power-shower, big mirror, heated towel rail stocked with fluffy white towels and bathrobes. All toiletries are produced by Elemis. There is also a guest WC on the ground floor for your convenience.
Your private garden features a large lawn enclosed by rows of yew hedges and a terrace complete with garden furniture, creating the perfect spot for soaking up a little sunshine and the perfectly fresh air of the Cotswolds! Surrounded by yellow and cream roses, honeysuckle, and lilies, and facing south-east towards the entrance of the Abbey, this is a truly beautiful spot for a drink, a chat or even a bit of alfresco dining on your lovely barbeque.
