Situated at the very heart of the Cotswolds, you will be perfectly placed to explore.
Built from the honey-coloured stone synonymous with the Cotswolds, these charming cottages are adjacent to one another meaning families and groups can enjoy a getaway together, but also have privacy when desired. The spacious kitchen and living room at Claytons Cottage are fabulous spaces for everyone to gather for meals or sociable evenings, while the Hideaway’s open-plan living and dining room with log-burner is a peaceful location for a couple to retreat to. With Claytons Cottage boasting a king-size and twin bedroom and the Hideaway providing a further king, all with their own en suites, the properties offer flexible sleeping arrangements.
The highlight of Claytons Retreat are the extensive grounds including lawns and woodlands which children can explore, including visiting the resident chickens.
