Summer is one of the most popular times of year to escape to the countryside, and our hand-picked cottages provide the perfect base for making memories with family and friends. No fussing with passports, trying to get everybody ready on time, and you can even take your dog with you.

If you’re coming from abroad, the Cotswolds are easy to get to with a choice of airports not far away. We’re also only a couple of hours from London by train. In no time you can be breathing in the fresh country air with a long list of exciting things to do ready to be ticked off.

To help you fill your days we’ve got a range of activities and experiences on offer in the Cotswolds, Forest of Dean and Herefordshire. There is something for everybody and so many different ways to see this part of the country. On land you can hop on a segway, a quadbike, a horse or an electric bike. Get out on the water on a kayak, canoe or paddle board. If you’re feeling especially adventurous, explore the dizzy heights with wing walking, or a helicopter ride. When we say we’ve got it all here, we really do!

Our summer holiday cottages come in all shapes and sizes. Book a cottage with a swimming pool for endless family fun, choose a property with a games room for rainy-day entertainment, or stay close to some of the region's most-loved attractions. Many of our cottages feature spacious gardens and outdoor seating, perfect for barbecues, al fresco dining and making the most of warmer evenings.

Looking for a quieter summer escape? We have romantic cottages with a hot tub for two and peaceful hideaways where you can relax with a morning coffee in the garden or unwind with a good book. Whether you're planning a family adventure or a couples' getaway, you'll find a summer holiday cottage that's just right for you.
