Rest awhile amongst the idyllic countryside of Sweetslade Cottage. This romantic, bijou escape immerses you in quintessentially Cotswold surroundings with woodland walks and meadow picnics on your doorstep. Here you can leave the car behind to head out on foot, or horseback as stabling for two horses can be arranged at the cottage. Peruse local shops in Bourton-on-the-Water or tuck into a pub lunch at Cold Aston before returning to your charmingly pint-sized cottage. Beautifully styled in contemporary country colours with unique antique furnishings, Sweetslade Cottage is ready to whisk you away to a world of relaxation.
Full Description
Shut yourself away from everyday life and step into this cosy hideaway which sleeps two adults and an infant under the age of one. Sweetslade Cottage is made for taking time for yourself and relishing the glorious countryside that is all around you. Standing alongside meadows just off the Sabrina Way, the cottage nestles into its setting. With its honey-hued exterior and carefully styled interior, this is a welcoming getaway.

Filled with carefully curated furniture upcycled and reclaimed furniture, with local artists work on display, no part of Sweetslade goes unnoticed. Shutting away the outside world your comfort is a priority with exquisite linens and bedding sweeping you off to sleep. In the morning begin with a pastry or two and freshly ground coffee to start your day. If you’re a late riser there is a TV and radio for gentle background noise to ease you into wakefulness.

Follow the passing walking route and you will find your way to a wildflower meadow and lawned garden. The meadows are mown with a path through the longer grasses and flowers, lay a blanket here and lose yourself in a novel. In the adjacent field you will find loungers, the perfect setting for chilled sundowners.

Reviews

My partner and I took a short trip to the Cotswolds and stayed at Sweetslade Cottage. The cottage was beautiful with everything you could need for a short break. It was beautifully decorated and had all of the luxurious home comforts together with a few very welcome treats! The host could not do more to help and provided excellent suggestions for local walks and places to eat. Highly recommend!

Host was lovely, She took time to make sure we checked in okay. She made an effort to put some flowers on the side of the bed what a lovely touch.

Lovely cottage with lots of personal touches. Everything beautifully finished. Bed sooooooo comfy. Towelling robes, beautiful bedding, soft fluffy towels. Sarah the owner had tried to think of everything. Arrival gifts very much appreciated. Gorgeous sun trap outside the cottage. Perfect stay.

We really enjoyed our stay at this cottage. It was about a 4 minute drive to the nearest town of Bourton on the Water. The tiny home itself was well equipped, with very thoughtful amenities including wine, coffee (including alt milk) and treats. The host was wonderfully helpful, pointing out the nearby walks and food recommendations. All in all, we'd absolutely return to this property.
