About this property
Cirencester 8.7 miles. If you like peace and tranquility, but want activities nearby Dairy Cottage could be for you! Set within a small farm dating back to the 17th Century, this attractive holiday home enjoys some fantastic views across open countryside, where you are free to roam for miles and miles - especially if you decide to bring your dog. Not only that, but you are right on the edge of the Cotswold Water Park where more paths lie waiting to be explored or wildlife to be spotted. Alternatively, at the Water Park's lakes you could decide to sail, canoe, bike plus a host of other activities that will keep you energised and active! Inside the barn there are two bedrooms and two bathrooms plus an open plan living space that is spacious, vaulted and looking towards the great views. The barn's conversion has been to a good standard with some lovely touches throughout, such as the heated limestone flooring which looks great, the wood burner for those winter evenings and two bathrooms. In our opinion this is families and pets will enjoy this property which offers, space, tranquility and convenience for everyone. You may even get some eggs from the chickens from the very hospitable (but non-invasive!) owners who live in the farmhouse.The cottage is on one level and therefore suitable for those with limited mobility.

Might also be an idea to move the TV down the wall as slightly too high, hurt oneâs neck after a while. Maybe a corner sofa would better fit that area too. Otherwise absolutely wonderful, much needed, rest in beautiful surroundings. Owners so lovely and accommodating. Hope to be back.

The owners were extremely helpful and welcoming. It was great to be able to take the dogs for walks straight from the cottage through the fields and also to find walks within The Cotswolds only a short drive away. A nice relaxing week for all!
