Full Description
Spend time exploring the beautiful Cotswolds from this stylish Stow-on-the-Wold cottage. Just a hop skip and a jump from the high street you can browse boutique shops, dine out and explore this picturesque town.

Dotty’s Cottage combines the old with the new, original exposed beams sit alongside bright panelled walls and Cotswold stone complements neutral décor. Each room has a refreshing, airy feel with open plan living areas on the ground floor and tranquil en-suite bedrooms on the first. A woodburning stove adds to the cosy atmosphere in the sitting room and there is space to either sit and read with a cup of coffee or curl up and watch TV. The eye-catching kitchen/diner is brought to life in shades of green with a gorgeous dining area and kitchen space which has a handy breakfast bar for quick meals and snacks. Both bedrooms have a double bed and showcase the beams and exposed stone and through sliding doors are spa-like en-suite shower rooms.

This charming cottage has a private courtyard garden to the rear which you can enjoy throughout the day. Start here with breakfast and a cup of coffee in the sun and step out in the evening for a glass of champagne around the firepit. There is a bistro set for two and space for four to sit around a coffee table.

Two armchairs sit in front of the woodburning stove where you can share some wine and enjoy an evening of conversation. Gathering by the TV there is a two-seater sofa, two stools and a window seat. It is a lovely space to watch a film or curl up with a book, learning more about the local area and planning your next day out. Hidden just off the sitting room is a utility cupboard where you find the washing machine and tumble dryer.
