The cottage is situated in the scenic Heart of England region, near the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, making it an ideal destination for nature lovers and history enthusiasts alike. The apartment features two bedrooms and is pet-friendly, allowing guests to enjoy their stay with furry companions. The historical significance of the area is highlighted by the nearby Sudeley Castle, which served as the headquarters for Prince Rupert during the English Civil War.
