Home description

A peaceful Cotswolds country retreat uniquely situated in Northwick Park, near Blockley, the former estate of the Spencer -Churchill family. Surrounded by the 35 acres of formal gardens, rose gardens, ponds and parkland of this private estate which abound with wildlife including deer, pheasants, squirrels, ducks, moorhens, koi carp, woodpeckers and many more species of birds, this cottage is in an exceptional location not accessible to the general public. Northwick Park has featured several times on the BBC programme ' Escape to the Country' where it was described as 'a very special location'. The cottage conversion is perfect for 2 couples sharing, families, or friends just looking for a peaceful break in the country to get away from it all. If there are just the two of you, we are offering late availability breaks at a discounted rate - please ask for details. The perfect location for walkers, cyclists, artists, bird watchers, wildlife enthusiasts, history buffs, National Trust members and RHS garden visitors. Shoppers will also delight in the many gift shops, boutiques and antique shops in the surrounding market towns and the larger commercial centres of Cheltenham and Stratford on Avon.

Approached over a long private drive, this light and spacious luxury 2 bedroom/2bathroom cottage conversion is perfectly situated to enjoy touring the local area. This comfortable Cotswold retreat is in a traffic-free, private and exclusive location which has featured several times on the BBC programme "Escape to the Country". Enjoy a week, week-end break or mid-week break - our changeover days are flexible.

Furnished with quality furniture, beds, curtains and carpets throughout, with a fully-equipped kitchen, the cottage with its real flame gas fire is perfect for all year round enjoyment. Summer Cottage is our 'second home' and we have decorated and furnished it as a home-from-home with love and care for our own enjoyment and that of our guests. The usual comment we get when inviting people in is "what a lovely feeling this cottage has - we just want to kick our shoes off and relax on the sofa".
