Fern Cottage is the ideal choice for a romantic getaway, or a small family break with its two bedrooms and enclosed garden, it is sure to cater for many different party types. The stable door opens up into the sitting room, where you will be struck by how charming and well-furnished the room is, turning a compact space into a place you can't wait to cuddle up in with your loved one, in front of the woodburning-stove-effect gas fire on a winters’ eve. Passing over the large slate flagstone flooring and moving into the kitchen will bring you to a delightful range of appliances that you will be more than happy to rustle up a tasty home-cooked meal for the rest of the group, and they can keep your company sat at the dining table (that can seat 6 people) thanks to the open-plan layout, with a bottle of wine (or two!). Moving up the old steep cottage stairs when tiredness takes over, be welcomed into a beautifully presented super king-size room, complete with quality White Company bed linens and pristine white décor, you will wake up refreshed, and thanks to zip/link abilities it can be made into a twin room to suit your party's needs. The second bedroom is a delightful double bedroom with stunning views of the countryside. This room is furnished in the same delightful style, and next door you can find the well-presented bathroom, which has both bath and shower over. The kitchen/diner has perfect French-style patio doors leading out to the outdoor dining and seating, where you can spend many a summer evening soaking up the last of the sun, as the kids run around with the dog down the garden path - a perfect way to spend your time! The town of Winchcombe is a Cotswold town at its finest, and you're right on the doorstep with the nearest pub and shop being within a few minutes’ walk of Fern Cottage, so when you don't feel like cooking or you need some last minute essentials you're certainly not far away from whatever you need. A brilliant day out at any time of year is the 1000-year-old Sudeley Castle and Gardens, once home to the last (and surviving) wife of Henry VIII, with a playground for children and a duck pond and parkland, it will be a lovely trip to remember.
