Yew Tree Cottage - sleeps 8 guests in 4 bedrooms

The quiet village of Longborough lies in the pretty countryside just a few miles from Stow-on-the-Wold and Moreton-in-Marsh and is a peaceful spot where time seems to slow down. Sitting on a traditional high street of equally charming pale golden Cotswold stone buildings, Yew Tree Cottage is the picture-perfect place for a countryside caper through the Cotswolds.

Set across three floors this pretty cottage is the epitome of style and elegance and retains a wealth of original features. On the expansive ground floor, the spacious kitchen-diner with its vaulted ceiling and twin-antler chandeliers creates a real wow factor, whilst the super-stylish living room boasts a stunning, inglenook fireplace, now home to a wood-burning stove. There are three airy bedrooms and a family bathroom on the first floor, and a romantic master bedroom on the second floor with an ensuite shower room. Throughout the house, exposed wooden beams and original features sit side by side with beautiful soft furnishings and every creature comfort needed for a magical stay.

To the rear of the Yew Tree Cottage is a fully enclosed and private, south-facing garden with a pergola and patio. There's also an outside dining area with a charcoal Weber barbecue and a private driveway with parking for two cars.

Ground Floor

Entrance Porch:
The porch is used as the main entrance and is perfect for ensuring wet dogs are dried off and removing outdoor gear. There's a cushioned bench where you can sit to put on or pull off shoes and boots, a large wooden shoe rack and a handy storage cupboard.

Hall:
From the porch, step into the hallway which is warm and welcoming with wooden flooring and plenty of light. For those who have to bring work away with them, there is a desk and chair, the cottage also benefits from superfast, Gigaclear wi-fi. The hall leads to the kitchen/diner, living room and the utility and cloakroom.

Utility Room:
Leading off from the hall, this useful space houses the washing machine and tumble dryer, recycling bins and cupboard space where you'll find the highchair and iron and ironing board. There's also a ground floor cloakroom with a WC at the end of the utility room.

Kitchen/Diner:
This exceptional room is filled with light and really brings the wow factor with its high, beamed vaulted ceiling and twin antler chandeliers. The stylish white cupboards hide all manner of equipment including a dishwasher, wine cooler and plenty of cooking and baking utensils. There's a generously sized fridge-freezer and the range-style oven and induction hob is ideal for preparing delicious dishes for your guests. The wooden dining table with stylish white wicker chairs seats eight comfortably and is perfect for lazy breakfasts and sociable, relaxed evening meals by candlelight. Double doors lead out to the enclosed garden and a large floor to ceiling window floods the room with natural light. There is a shallow stone step from the hall into the kitchen.

Living Room:
Two stone steps lead up from the hall into the sumptuous living room. Taking centre stage is the magnificent inglenook fireplace with a log burner which adds a cosy warmth when the evenings turn chilly. This room forms part of the cottage that dates back to the 16th century and the original beams, exposed stone walls and windows still remain. Two plump four-seater sofas sit in front of the fire around a wooden table, which is perfect for board games, a jigsaw or resting a book. Games and puzzles can be found in the bureau beneath the stairs. A 55" OLED Smart TV sits to one side of the fireplace, hidden on a remote-controlled TV lift within a cabinet, ensuring that it does not detract from the quietly elegant feel of the room. The front door is in the centre of the front wall and whilst still in perfect working order, is rarely used.First Floor
