Thomas Cottage, Gloucestershire

Tucked away in the breath-taking Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the outskirts of Wotton-under-Edge is Thomas Cottage. This wonderful dwelling benefits from a fantastic location amidst the countryside yet close to local amenities, as well as a characterful interior, adorned with original features such as exposed beams, latch doors and high vaulted ceilings, which have been thoughtful blended with contemporary appliances and a stylish decor, creating a welcoming and homely feel for small families or couples looking for a romantic retreat with their beloved canine companion. Cross the threshold where the open-plan living space greets you, head straight to the plush leather sofa where you can warm your feet by the gentle glow of the electric flame-effect stove while your partner pampers you or the whole family with a delicious meal prepared in the fully-equipped kitchen which is fitted with stunning sage green units. Dine together around the table and raise a toast to your getaway before spending a well-earned night with your favourite film on the Smart TV. When sleep calls, head to the first floor where you can tuck the kids into the twin room before washing off the day’s adventures in the sleek bathroom and sloping off to sleep in the second-floor king-size. If you can tear yourself away from this idyllic setting, venture into the heart of Wotton-under-Edge where you can stock up on essentials at the local shops in the high street or enjoy a much-needed break from the kitchen at restaurants like The Falcon Steakhouse, Wine Shake, Indian Palace or The Royal Oak Inn. Explore the history woven throughout the surrounding countryside at the National Trust site of Newark Park where you can stroll around the 725-acre estate admiring the picturesque countryside or through the 16th-century hunting, the Uley Long Barrow neolithic site or venture further afield to the Great Witcombe Roman Villa. Located on the Cotswold Way. There is also an abundance of walks, hikes and cycling trails such to please outdoor enthusiasts as well as providing spectacular views across the countryside.
