Box Cottage

Box Cottage is a small but perfectly formed 200-year-old Cotswold cottage hidden away in a quiet spot behind Broadway’s bustling main street. Postcard-worthy exteriors give way to a homely and welcoming interior that has everything you need for a stay in one of the Cotswold's most popular destinations. Inside you’ll find charming interiors with exposed wooden beams, original windows, and stunning parquet floors. On the ground floor, there’s a cosy living room, dining room and compact and bijou kitchen that has everything you need. Upstairs are two well-appointed, spacious bedrooms and the cottage bathroom with a double shower and a wonderful, high ceiling.

Tucked behind Box Cottage is a charming courtyard garden, enveloped by traditional Cotswold stone walls and a beautiful wisteria-clad pergola, offering welcome shade on sunny days. It’s the perfect spot for dining on warm evenings after a busy day exploring the beautiful Cotswolds.

Ground Floor

Entrance Hall:
As you step through the traditional front door, you’ll find yourself in a light-filled hallway with whitewashed stone walls and parquet flooring. There are hooks for hanging outdoors coats and a handy box bench where you can sit to remove walking boots.

Cloakroom:
Hidden beneath the stairs there's a step down to the cloakroom.

Dining Room:
The charming dining room is beautiful in its simplicity. Pale walls and décor set off the warm wood of the parquet flooring and the circular dining table which seats four. Natural light flows into the room from the original window with views out to the courtyard.

Kitchen:
The galley-style kitchen leads off the dining room and although small in size has everything you need for a self-catering stay with an electric oven and hob, fridge-freezer, and a dishwasher. The pale grey design adds to the feeling of light and space. There’s a tiny tea making nook squeezed in as well.

Living Room:
The cosy living room is furnished in the same pale, calming palette of colours with a comfy sofa, and two armchairs. The original stone fireplace is no longer in use but remains a focal point of the room. The traditional equine art on the walls is a subtle nod to Broadway’s history as an important coaching hub of the Cotswolds. Natural light flows in through the dual aspect windows, there’s also a door to the enclosed courtyard garden.
