Spring House, Cowley - sleeps 11 guests in 6 bedrooms

Sitting amongst charming Cotswold villages, Spring House is at the centre of a picturesque landscape. From here you can enjoy the best of both worlds with local highlights easily reached from your doorstep and a fabulously curated home to call your own.

Sunlit rooms with garden views, displays of original artwork and bold fabric choices make this a getaway you'll remember. Each space has something special from the open fire and oriental touches in the drawing room to floral influences found throughout the bedrooms. The spacious kitchen is perfect for home-cooked meals or treating yourselves by hiring a private chef and you have a choice of dining spaces. One is flooded with light with a garden view backdrop while the formal dining room creates a royal elegance with rich blue tones and highlights of gold. After dinner the sitting room awaits with its gallery walls and woodburning stove and in the atrium a multi-games table will keep younger guests entertained. With the bedrooms spread across the first floor and one downstairs, each has delicate artwork and splashes of personality.

Your time here will be split between the house and irresistible south-facing garden with a dining terrace and expansive lawns. In spring you'll spot prancing lambs and blossoming bulbs, but it is no less beautiful in winter as you watch the skies change through the trees. Head out early to Elkstone Studios to bring back pastries and coffee for your group before pulling your walking boots on and getting immersed in the countryside.
