Imagine waking up in your cosy pyjamas to bright mornings in a Cotswolds Country House, with floor to ceiling windows that let light beam through…

Oh we love welly boot season...

Muddy rambles, new adventures and family time disconnected from stresses of daily life, the days that you wish would never end.

With meandering rivers, rolling hills and unspoilt landscapes, Gloucestershire is simply perfect for winter rambling with the whole family. We love following the River Coln with stops in Bibury that take you back in time, to Fairford where you can warm up and recharge at cosy pubs serving hearty classics.

And of course our four-legged friends love it too...

As we finally see signs of brighter days and sunlight drawing out into early evenings, The Old Chapel comes to life as the sun beams through its vast chapel windows onto the exposed original Cotswold stone lying within.

Nestled in Longborough in the heart of the Cotswolds, the cottage sits within an unspoilt sanctuary and offers true tranquillity.

On crisp, bright days, the cottage is a perfect base for refreshing village walks and is in easy reach of The Cotswold Way where you can look out over the mesmerising Cotswolds valley.

After a long day of exploring, you can shake off in the large boot room and retire to the lounge in front of the cosy log burner, whilst taking in the grandeur of the 19th century building.

Evening strolls around Stow-on-the-Wold with clear skies has us feeling like we’ve entered a fairytale town.

Some of the oldest pubs in England lure you in with cosy fires and hearty plates, whilst family-run shops showcase their handmade crafts with magical window displays.

Lying high up on a hill looking over the Cotswolds valley, walking around the historic Norman town gives you a sense of what life would have been like when the market town was established back in 1000 AD.

January strolls in Bath, soaking up the historic charm from the imposing roman architecture.

As we navigated around the Roman Baths and stone-built townhouses, we could only dream of how life would have been so many centuries’ ago.

A city brimming with such history that now seamlessly blends modern luxuries and the finest of restaurants makes for a most memorable city break.

Oh how dreamy it is cosying up to a roaring log burner with home comforts whilst watching the bitter frost pass outside…

The Cotswolds Country House, nestled in Kingham, has the perfect set up with an oh so cosy lounge and sumptuous welcome hamper filled with local treats, tempting for the whole family.

Furry friends welcome of course.

Has January already got you feeling like you need another break?

Right now we’re dreaming of a weekend getaway to Bank House where you can get a much needed break in the lounge and reading room, before recharging in the sumptuous bedrooms.

On what it would be to escape back to a somewhere so serene and tranquil…
