The Old Coachhouse is an attractive early c19th Cotswold Stone building which was originally a stable with trap house above and an adjoining Victorian potting shed. The accommodation now comprises two bedrooms (sleeping 2 to 5 people), a sitting/dining room, bathroom, hall and kitchen. The furnishings are in keeping with the cottage; comfortable, pretty, homely and spotlessly clean but it is neither luxurious nor over-spacious!
Our visitors tell us how much they love our cottage and the surrounding area and many return year after year.
