Tetbury, the second largest town of the Cotswolds, sits in an area of outstanding natural beauty. It is the home of King Charles III and Queen Camilla, and their sensational gardens at Highgrove are a must-visit. Tetbury was an important market for Cotswold wool and yarn during the Middle Ages.

Midsummer Cottage is a gorgeous, honey-coloured stone cottage that is nestled in the central conservation district.

Its sleek, contemporary designer interior boasts attractive wallpapers, a romantic four-poster bed under historic eaves, a sumptuous sofa and bang-up-to-date fittings. It only takes five minutes to stroll into the historic centre of the town, so it is a fabulous base for exploring the town, visiting Highgrove and touring the southern Cotswolds.
Midsummer Cottage’s stunning interior pays respect to this wonderfully historic building. Its mellow stone is warm and inviting, and the walled courtyard garden is a great bonus, the perfect spot for some alfresco dining or picking up your holiday books. The cottage has been refurbished from top to bottom and is seriously comfortable. Midsummer Cottage is built over three levels with a wonderful modern kitchen diner on the ground floor with access to the garden, a living room on the first floor and your bedroom and ensuite bathroom on the top floor. An attractive spiral staircase takes you between floors. The kitchen boasts excellent appliances for your self-catering stay though you will almost certainly want to sample some of Tetbury’s excellent restaurants. The living room is smart, elegant and thoroughly modern with its lavish velvet sofa, trendy wallpaper, wooden flooring, wall-mounted television and contemporary electric log effect fire. It is a great place to cosy up for a movie.
Upstairs, your bedroom suite is perfect for long lazy lie-ins with its pretty four-poster bed, adorned with luxury linens and quality soft furnishings, its television and its immaculate ensuite bathroom. This comes with fluffy towels too. You will not want to rush to leave this romantic pad!
The charming private courtyard garden enjoys quality outdoor furniture, perfect for winding down in the evening and enjoying the fresh air.
There is unlimited free parking outside the door and an off-road reserved parking space. You can even bring your furry friend to join you at Midsummer Cottage.
