Situated within an exclusive, gated development in the heart of the Cotswolds, Walnut Cottage is one of two properties sitting side by side that benefit from a quieter spot, overlooking a waterway to the rear and taking advantage of its southerly facing aspect. With a master bedroom suite, one double room and two singles, this gorgeous, contemporary holiday home sleeps six guests. The cottage also benefits from a pretty patio area with alfresco dining and a small garden, bounded by the small waterway. It is idyllic and perfectly positioned to enjoy the fantastic range of facilities and activities offered.
The development is just south of Cirencester. You are in for a week combining blissful relaxation with exciting adventure, all within hundreds of acres of lush green space, featuring nine beautiful lakes, two rivers, stunning picnic spots and miles of lakeside and river trails. Walnut Cottage is situated within an easy ten minute walk of the on-site spa and restaurant and the Nature Reserve with its lakes for canoeing, kayaking and fishing, bike trails and children’s playpark. The spa offers fantastic luxury treatments, a steam room, sauna and three gorgeous swimming pools. One is a bracing eco-pool naturally filtered by water lilies plus there is an indoor and outdoor pool. Guests are welcome to use the library, a ‘restful reading’ lounge, tennis courts and the Technogym. During peak holiday seasons, children’s clubs offer a huge range of activities.
Walnut Cottage boasts a stunning open plan living space on the ground floor. With a beautiful teal and stone colour scheme, the lounge area is extremely comfortable with squishy sofas and a log burning stove for cooler evenings. There is access to the delightful patio for alfresco dining and the small garden. The kitchen is modern, sleek and perfect for preparing delicious meals if you do not want to barbecue. There is a handy utility room which doubles as a cloakroom.
On the first floor, you will find four lovely bedrooms. The master bedroom enjoys a very small balcony and a pristine, modern en-suite bathroom. In addition, there is a delightful double room and two smart singles. They share a beautiful, contemporary bathroom.
This is a lovely, modern holiday home for a family. If you want to holiday with other family or friends, we are very privileged to market many properties on this fabulous development so you can easily spend quality family time, yet meet up for wonderful adventures and fabulous picnics with others.
Walnut Cottage enjoys a very special location within a gated resort in the heart of the Cotswolds. Just south of Cirencester, guests enjoy many entertainment options within the development as well as being located on the doorstep of fabulous Cotswolds attractions. The Cotswolds boasts idyllic villages, historic towns, a rich heritage of country houses, stunning gardens, wildlife parks, arboretums and enchanting nature reserves. Popular visits are to Bourton-on-the-Water, Stow-on-the-Wold, Tetbury, Cirencester, Malmesbury and Lacock as well as the regency pleasures of Cheltenham and the Georgian glories of Bath which are less than twenty miles away.
Bourton-on-the-Water, like most of the Cotswolds, lies in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is the Venice of the Cotswolds with beautiful bridges crossing the River Windrush. Gorgeous cosy cafes line the pretty streets together with houses made with enchanting honey coloured Cotswold stone.
Stow-on-the-Wold is a delightful market town, the highest of the Cotswold towns exposed on the 800 feet high Stow Hill at the crossroads with the Roman Fosse Way. The town boasts a fascinating history. At the height of the Cotswold wool industry, it held annual fairs where as many as 20000 sheep were sold at one time. The Market Square is very attractive with its ancient cross, town stocks and an elegant array of Cotswold town houses and shops. You will find many fine antique shops, art galleries, gift and craft shops.
Tetbury is another historic wool town. It is an architectural gem with many of the wool merchant’s houses remaining the same as they were in the 16th and 17th centuries. The Parish Church of St Mary’s has one of the tallest and most elegant spires in the UK. Tetbury is popular for its independent shops including antique shops, vintage and interior shops, exclusive boutiques and the Highgrove shop. Tetbury holds many regular events including the May Day Wacky Races, the Spring Bank Holiday Woolsack Races when contestants carry 65lb woolsacks up and down the 1 in 4 hill, the August Summer Show, the September Food and Drink Festival, the October Tetbury Music Festival and the Christmas Lights Switch-on.
Close by, visitors can enjoy the stunning botanical experience of the National Arboretum at Westonbirt, the glorious Elizabethan Chavenage House used for many famous films and TV series, the beautiful Arts and Crafts Manor at Rodmarton, the 13th century Lacock Abbey and HRH Prince of Wales’ stunning garden at Highgrove. Local equestrian events such as the Badminton Horse Trials, Gatcombe Festival of British Eventing and Beaufort Polo are all popular.
