Overview

**This property is new to our portfolio and will soon be ready to take bookings. If you’d like further information, please do get in touch with our StayCotswold Bookings team**

Top House is a beautifully refurbished Cotswold holiday home that comfortably sleeps up to eight guests across four thoughtfully appointed bedrooms and two spacious bathrooms. At the heart of the home is a charming country-style kitchen which flows through into the dining room; the perfect setting for leisurely breakfasts, relaxed family dinners and memorable evenings together. The cosy sitting room provides a welcoming space to unwind, while characterful features such as exposed Cotswold stone, original beams and a traditional inglenook fireplace with a wood-burning stove create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Outside, the split-level garden offers a choice of seating areas, each perfectly positioned to take in the stunning surrounding countryside. Whether you're enjoying your morning coffee, dining al fresco or simply relaxing with the views, the outdoor space is a wonderful place to enjoy throughout the seasons. Top House is also dog friendly, welcoming up to two well-behaved dogs, so your four-legged companions can enjoy the getaway too.
