Manor Cottage, located in the tranquil village of Poulton, Gloucestershire, serves as an ideal holiday retreat for families and friends looking to explore the picturesque Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This charming stone cottage, set within the grounds of a beautiful manor house, has been thoughtfully refurbished to create a welcoming home-away-from-home. Accommodating up to five guests in two bedrooms, the cottage is designed to provide comfort and convenience, featuring amenities such as off-road parking and a private garden pathway leading to the inviting oak front door.
Upon entering Manor Cottage, guests are greeted by a spacious sitting room characterized by its cozy atmosphere, complete with oak beams and flagstone flooring.

The sleeping arrangements are thoughtfully arranged over the first floor, where children can settle into twin beds in the second bedroom, complemented by a full-size day bed available upon request. The master bedroom features a luxurious four-poster king-size bed, ensuring a restful night’s sleep after a day of exploration. Guests can rejuvenate in the bathroom, which includes a shower over the bath, before enjoying morning coffee in the serene garden, surrounded by lush lawns, patio areas, and traditional Cotswold stone walls.
While Poulton itself is a small and peaceful village, it offers essential amenities such as a Post Office, a popular pub, and a children's playground.
