Stable Cottage

Set back from the main Fosse Way, Stable Cottage is a long, single-story property that has been cleverly converted from the neighbouring Inn’s 17^th-century, five-stall stable block, providing a cosy and comfortable, well-equipped bolthole in the heart of the Cotswolds.

The front of Stable Cottage has 11 windows all looking out over a large gravel courtyard with a table, parasol, and seating for six, directly next to the gardens of the Inn at Fossebridge. The gravel courtyard has two gates at either end, one leading to the Inn’s front courtyard and the main road and the other to the neighbouring Lakeside Cottage (a 4-bedroom, sleeps 10+1 holiday let also available through Bolthole Retreats).

Inside, the cottage is conveniently divided into bedrooms at the right-hand end and an open-plan living-dining-kitchen area at the left-hand end, with a family shower room at the centre. The living area has comfy seating, with a large Smart TV (with Netflix, iPlayer capability), a well-equipped kitchenette and a dining area to comfortably seat six guests. The cottage sleeps four adults across one king-size en-suite master bedroom and one twin, and two children in a bunk bedroom off the master bedroom.

Outside

Immediately outside Stable Cottage is a large gravel courtyard where guests can park two cars and relax at a large table, with a parasol and seating for six. A gate leads from the courtyard to the beautiful garden and lake belonging to the neighbouring Inn at Fossebridge, which guests have permission to explore and walk around. The River Coln flows to the side of the Inn, on its journey from Brockhampton to Lechlade, where it joins the River Thames.

The gravel courtyard has two large gates at either end, one leading to the Inn’s front courtyard and the main road (Fosse Way) and the other to the neighbouring Lakeside Cottage (4-bedroom, sleeps 10+1). https://boltholeretreats.co.uk/property/lakeside-house/
