About this property

Hurdler's Cottage sits along a quiet lane in the picturesque Cotswold village of Ilmington. This beautiful cottage dates back to the 1850s, and is the perfect base for couples, friends, and families to discover everything that the Cotswolds has to offer.

Hurdler's Cottage is a lovingly restored property dating back to the 1850s. This cottage is a seamless blend of character, charm and beautiful period features such as flagstone floors, exposed beams and stonework. With modern touches and home comforts throughout, Hurdler's Cottage is the perfect base for exploring the Cotswolds.

The open-plan kitchen and dining area boasts large windows that bathe the open-plan area in natural light and offer beautiful views across the garden and towards the church. The well-equipped kitchen allows you to make a home cooked meal to enjoy with a view, or enjoy your breakfast at the breakfast bar. Leading on from the dining area, you enter the tastefully furnished sitting room completed with a wood burning stove, making this a cosy retreat at any time of the year. Upstairs on the first floor you are greeted with three bedrooms; bedroom one with a king-size bed, bedroom two with twin single beds, and bedroom three with a double bed.

Outside, to the front of Hurdler's Cottage, you can enjoy a pretty cottage style garden with outdoor seating, perfect for enjoying a morning coffee, or alfresco dining on a warm summers evening.

The shop welcomes a visiting "Fish Man" most Monday mornings, bringing the fresh catch from Grimsby to landlocked Cotswolds.

Less than three miles away is the famous Fuzzy Duck, owned by Baylis & Harding’s Creative Director Tania Slater, and now transformed into a culinary destination.
