Hide away in this idyllic woodland lodge sitting in a bluebell wood on the Oxfordshire edge of the Cotswolds – just a couple of miles from the village of Kingham. Sleeping four people across two bedrooms, it's ideal for families or small groups of friends who are searching for a luxurious woodland retreat to call home while they hike along the escarpment and browse the market towns of the Cotswolds together. Set off for the Rollright Stones (6 miles), a Neolithic circle standing on a ridge overlooking three counties, and then head down to explore the Jacobean house and topiary garden at Chastleton (4 miles). Alternatively, make your way into the village of Daylesford (3 miles) to check out its famous upscale organic farmers’ shop and grab something for dinner. In the evening, come home to enjoy a soak in your serene sunken hot tub while the stars appear.
Pull into your private parking spot and follow the path through the trees to your luxurious lodge. Step inside and you'll find a light and bright open-plan lounge and a kitchen that asks you to check out the welcome pack and make yourself at home. Cook up a storm in the smart kitchen area and eat at the dining area, or head out onto the spacious decked veranda to dine alfresco. Afterwards, take a leisurely dip in your private sunken hot tub, or head back to the lounge to stretch out in front of the TV. Alternatively, make a beeline for the site’s shared bar and restaurant to enjoy a drink or two. When night falls, one double bedroom with an en-suite shower room and one twin bedroom are waiting. A sleek family bathroom with a bath and a shower over completes the layout.
In the morning, wake up to throw a line at the shared fishing lake. Or head into Stow-on-the-Wold (8 miles) to explore the market square, the antique shops and the ancient yew-flanked church door. Alternatively, head off for a stroll along the River Windrush in Bourton-on-the-Water (12 miles).
