 English Holiday Cottages in The Cotswolds
       Picturesque Cotswolds Cottage in Chipping Campden

When you hear the words "an English Country Cottage", the image that springs to mind is the scene you'd be greeted with when you choose to stay in an English Country Cottage from our listings of cottages in the Cotswolds. This beautiful part of the world is filled with truly quaint villages with honey coloured stone cottages virtually everywhere you go. There's the delightful market town of Stow-on-the-Wold filled with antique shops, galleries and craft shops and Bourton-on-the-Water described as the "Little Venice of the Cotswolds".

The area known as the Cotswolds encroaches on a number of counties. To the South West in Somerset lies Bath with its Roman remains and Regency crescents and to the East stands Oxford where centuries of academic endeavour have taken place under its impressive spires.

Also within easy reach are Warwick and Stratford-upon-Avon.

Whether you're relaxing in one of the many grade II listed Cotswold Cottages we offer, exploring the quiet country lanes, checking out the bustling market towns or just enjoying the beauty of the Cotswold countryside do it from a Holiday Cottage in The Cotswolds; you won't want to leave.
