Stow-on-the-Wold 2.4 miles. Flagstone Cottage is a superbly presented cottage resting in the grounds of the owner’s home in the rural village of Upper Swell, just a few miles from the amenities of Stow-on-the-Wold. Enjoying a peaceful location surrounded by fields, Flagstone Cottage is a romantic bolthole for two, providing easy access to the delights of the Cotswolds. The open-plan living space boasts a light and airy feel, comprised of a sofa and armchair positioned in front of the woodburning stove and TV, so you can catch up on your favourite TV shows after a long day. Dust off those cooking books and rustle up a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, utilising the electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and even the dishwasher, so you won’t have to lift a finger when washing up! When the sun is shining, take a seat at the patio furniture and relish your peaceful surroundings, contemplating which Cotswold attraction you’ll discover next. As the night rolls in, venture to the bedroom to catch some shut eye, offering a sumptuous king-size bed and en-suite bathroom with choice of bath and shower over. Awaken with a cup of tea and breakfast and then later take a short drive to the Golden Ball pub for a refreshing pint and meal. The surrounding area is a real paradise, offering miles of beautiful walking and cycling routes, along with scenic estates and gardens including the 1700, award-winning Bourton House Garden. Stow-on-the-Wold is ideally positioned for those keen to learn about the history of the Cotswolds; visit the Neolithic burial remains of Belas Knap Long Barrow, the 13th-century Hailes Abbey, or Chastleton House, which has lovely grounds. Alternatively, head to the town of Stratford-upon-Avon and discover the home of Shakespeare, as well as a wealth of independent shops and eateries. If exploration takes you further afield then the bustling city of Gloucester is worth visiting, while the spa town of Cheltenham promises to be adventure if you visit in race week! Flagstone Cottage is a splendid escape to Gloucestershire, whatever time of year.
