The house a perfect country retreat, beautifully presented and stylish with large, spacious rooms. The house is a perfect space for relaxing or entertaining friends, simply nothing but perfection! The space The house is the perfect country retreat. The downstairs rooms are all communal which makes the house ideal for entertaining or just 'hanging out'. The house features a large, modern open communal space which includes a double-height reception area (around a large stone fireplace), kitchen. A second reception room which is decorated more traditionally, perfect for evenings with a fire lit and a film on the projector screen. A cozy study off the second reception room includes a fireplace. Five double bedrooms include a large master bedroom and second VIP guest bedroom. Underfloor heating throughout the house with oak floors in the reception areas. This is an excellent holiday cottage in every respect, perfect for a large family or for two or three couples with kids who fancy a home for a 'proper' holiday or equally for a short weekend trip to the Cotswolds. ACCOMODATION Welcoming entrance hall with double-height ceiling. Off the entrance hall is the most wonderful boot room which doubles as a guest loo, so inviting you might just decide to spend your holiday in the loo! Main reception room is a gorgeous space decorated in muted colours around a large stone fireplace. This room has large windows with lots of light and is open to the dining space and kitchen, offering modern use of the large space. The large dining table, which seats up to 18 people, lives between the main reception area and the open kitchen. True to its name, Garden House is filled with lots of plants and flowers, and the dining space doubles as a conservatory, opening onto a large pond filled with koi! The kitchen is a delightful space which makes meal-preparation a fun group activity. The best part is a traditional wood oven perfect for pizza night! The master bedroom is on the second floor above the communal space, with an extra-large king bed and private terrace, bathroom with large shower and separate traditional bathtub, and large walk-in closet. The second reception room is decorated more traditionally, with a lovely wood burning stove and movie projector and screen which drop down for the ceiling. Connected to SKY and AppleTV, this room is perfect for a film after a lovely evening meal. The study is a cozy space decorated with loads of books and comfy furniture. Light the fire and tuck into your book! The first floor features two further en suite bedrooms. One in particular is large, I call it the VIP guest bedroom, and is perfect for a second couple. Frankly you may well find the VIP guest bedroom, with its queen four poster bed, even more inviting than the master bedroom. The VIP guest bathroom is large, with a walk-in shower and separate traditional bathtub. The third guest bedroom on this level, with a double bed, is a lovely room, with an en suite bathroom. The fourth and fifth bedrooms are in the loft, sharing a private bathroom off the landing. Each with a double bed, these bedrooms are not as special as the others but is perfect for a couple of kids, single adults or couples that are not fussy. Guest access You will have access to the detached house, private gardens and parking area. To the front is a large parking area for 5 or 6 cars. Other things to note The pond in the rear garden is not secure for kids or pets. Adult supervision is necessary. The kitchen has a wood burning oven. Guests without experience are asked to not use the oven, as misuse can damage the structure of the oven and is a fire hazard. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Kitchen - Oven ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 5 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 4.5 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace ### Entertainment - Books ### Outdoor areas - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 3:00 PM Minimum check-in age - 18 ### Check-out Check-out before 12:00 PM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Pets Pets not allowed ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know This property is managed by a private host (a party not acting within their trade, business or profession).

It was in dire need of a deep clean in the less easily accessible areas; thick layer of dust, spiderwebs etc. - overall would highly recommend, assuming a thorough clean. ##### Maurice M.
