About this property

Characterful family friendly Cottage - Elephant Cottage

  • Tucked away in the heart of Tetbury, just minutes' walk from the high street, lies Elephant Cottage, a beautifully styled Cotswold holiday home which sleeps six guests, in three inviting bedrooms, with a spacious family bathroom. This three storey, 18th century townhouse has been sympathetically styled in keeping with its history and character, boasting exposed beams, painted stone walls, fireplaces and sash windows.

The outside space of Elephant Cottage is a true hidden gem, with a surprising roof terrace sporting ample seating and cosy nooks, an ideal space to enjoy throughout the year.
