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!
Blending the luxury of a hotel with the independence and ease of your own home, Summer Cottage has a log fire, canopied or four poster beds and beautifully landscaped gardens with gazebos, orchards, and an Italianate garden and terrace, alongside a pool, spa and games room! In your open-plan drawing room/dining room you will find a comfy sofa, circular dining-table, large dresser framed by two windows and shelves filled with decorative pink-and-white china, plates, tea pots and more.

The kitchen sits beside the lounge area in an open plan style and features all the latest mod cons, set among white painted units and grey granite worktops.
Both bedrooms can be found upstairs and include the same deluxe furnishing and elaborate décor. The master bedroom has a four-poster bed painted in a faux bamboo effect, while the second bedroom has two single beds, one of which is particularly ornate. A shared bathroom sits between the two bedrooms which is warm and elegant, entirely marble-tiled, with marble-top vanity units, an invigorating power-shower, big mirror, heated towel rail stocked with fluffy white towels, bathrobes and toiletries produced by Elemis.
