Great Rissington, situated in the picturesque Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in Gloucestershire, is home to Green Cottage, a substantial grade II listed property. Originally built in the 1600s as two laborers' cottages, the residence has undergone several modern updates while maintaining its historical charm. The cottage features three bedrooms, including a family room with an en-suite, a twin room, and a single room, accommodating between five to eight guests comfortably. Notably, potential guests should verify their booking arrangements, particularly if three couples intend to share the space, as not all bedrooms are double-sized.
The interior of Green Cottage blends traditional elements with contemporary conveniences, highlighted by a stylish CP Hart bathroom and an Everhot range cooker, perfect for culinary enthusiasts. The property offers a cozy atmosphere with an open fire and a wood burner in the dining room, making it ideal for chilly evenings. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the terrace overlooking the Windrush Valley, perfect for alfresco dining, while children can enjoy ample space for play in both the garden and the house, which includes a full-size bar football table and various games.
Rich in history, Green Cottage is tied to the poignant story of the Soul family, whose five sons served in the First World War. Tragically, none returned, and it is said that Mrs. Soul lit a candle each night in hopes of guiding them home. This unique historical connection is preserved within the cottage, which still features the original bread oven in the dining room. Visitors can find more information about the Soul brothers and their legacy within the cottage and at the local church.
In addition to its historical significance, Green Cottage serves as an excellent base for exploring the surrounding Cotswolds region. Guests can engage in various outdoor activities, from horse riding and cycling to golfing at nearby courses. Local attractions include the Cotswold Motoring Museum and Batsford Arboretum, along with family-friendly options like Dragonfly Maze and Birdland Park and Gardens. With its blend of history, modern amenities, and proximity to natural beauty, Green Cottage offers a unique and enriching experience for all visitors.
