The Rectory is an attractive yet unfussy Cotswolds escape, with three acres of walled Victorian gardens. This beautiful, elegantly furnished period house is set in three acres of Cotswold stone walled garden.

The facilities

A swimming pool, dining terrace and a lawn for boules and croquet make The Rectory's garden perfect for summer days. The overlooking indoor restaurant serves a Modern British menu stuffed with local and organic produce.

The rooms

Twelve bedrooms have proper English country views of The Rectory's gardens, with traditional decor inside to match. Floral wallpaper and curtains are decidedly rustic-chic, rather than chintzy. Each bed has a hand sprung mattress and Egyptian cotton linens, while bathrooms have deep baths and power showers.
