Enjoy a taste of rural life in this beautifully presented Cotswold period home.

A beautifully presented Cotswold period home, Hope Cottage is an ideal base for walking and cycling enthusiasts. Take in the fine Cotswold villages, stroll across to the local pub, enjoy a taste of rural life.

Hope Cottage is quintessentially Cotswolds through and through; effortlessly combining cosy and characterful with contemporary and fresh. Perfect for a family holiday or gathering of friends; the spacious dining kitchen is the real heart of the home, with plenty of storage, granite tops and high-end appliances, complemented by a large rustic dining table for everyone to gather around, a charming snug providing a second comfy sitting area, and french doors flooding the room with light and spilling out onto the pretty raised terrace. A useful boot room doubles up as a utility area, complete with a second butler's sink and a washer/dryer.

The welcoming sitting room offers a bright and peaceful space to relax by the wood burning stove and enjoys the same period features, oak latch doors, exposed beams and Cotswold stone walls found throughout this pretty cottage. Stairs lead from the sitting room up to the three spacious bedrooms, where a choice of the principle room with a king-size bed and en-suite, or two charming twin bedrooms sharing the family bathroom await.

Outside, the raised terrace is furnished with a dining set and charcoal barbecue, and looks out to the lovely walled garden, bordered with mature planting, topiary and surrounded by trees and countryside.

Hope Cottage is an ideal base for walking and cycling enthusiasts with endless trails to explore and enjoy the nearby fine Cotswold villages. Or for the less energetic, stroll across to the local pub, The Keeper's Arms, a proper pub where delicious home cooked meals and great local ales are served.

Set on the edge of Quenington in the Coln Valley, the delightful village of Coln St Aldwyns is just over a mile away with a fabulous community run village shop, post office and cafe. Just a few miles further is picture postcard Bibury, described by William Morris as "the most beautiful village in England" and set amidst rolling countryside with the river Colne running through it; also home Arlington Row, considered by many to be the most beautiful and photographed cottages in the country. Here you can also find the riverside dining destination of the Swan Hotel and the Bibury Trout Farm.

New year in Hope Cottage

We had a fabulous stay at wonderful Hope Cottage. Tastefully decorated and really well appointed, this spotlessly clean cottage is really well situated for exploring the Cotswolds. Cosy and spacious, it provided our family with everything we needed. We highly recommend this property.

Adorable cottage so sweet & pretty

Hope Cottage is an adorable property. Beautifully decorated with such attention to detail. We fell in love the minute we walked in the door. It was well stocked with everything you could possibly need. We loved the location. There were 6 of us and we all felt there was enough space to not get in each other’s way. The only negative was we found it a little cold; perhaps it was the tiled flooring & no central heating. The wall heaters were lovely but just didn’t seem to warm the house up. Minor issue we could not work the oven & had difficulty with the induction; even after reading the manual. None of these issues would stop us from staying there again.

Review - Hampergate

Lovely cottage and good location. The only disappointment was that there was no welcome hamper on arrival as stated in the property description. It even says don’t worry if you forget breakfast essentials as you can rely in the hamper. All of the other previous guests received their hampers as they all liked to rave about them in the guest book. We’re not bitter though...

A remarkable home

We were truly impressed by the quality of the accommodation at Hope Cottage. The house has been extremely well restored and everything is in perfect condition. We felt at ease and very much at home there. We have absolutely nothing to question or criticize. Ah yes, a blender would be welcome addition in the kitchen!!! I don't recall having much in the way of an exchange with the property manager, but that maybe because I have simply forgotten!!! To conclude: Thank you for everything. Eric Waddell

Can’t wait to go back

Cotswold Cottage was the perfect house for our spring 2019 vacation. There was 4 of us, requiring 3 separate sleeping quarters. This lovely cottage provided enough room and privacy for each of us. We wish we could have stayed longer, or better yet, moved in!

Sehr geräumiges und hervorragend ausgestattetes Cottage. Mit einer tollen großen Küche sowie angrenzendem großen Tisch, einem separaten Wohnzimmerbereich, drei Schlafzimmern und zwei Bädern haben wir hier eine Woche mit drei großen Kindern haben wir die Woche hier genossen.Besonders erwähnenswert ist auch die gute und umfangreiche Ausstattung mit Geschirr, Besteck, Töpfen, Küchenutensilien etc. Man kann hier getrost sein Essen selber zubereiten, es ist alles Wesentliche vorhanden.
