Description Patchwork & Stone: Lower Swell

Set in the quaint Cotswold village of Lower Swell, this traditional cottage is a great central base from which to explore the Cotswolds and country walks beyond. Dating back to approximately 1595, this stone cottage has undergone a modern transformation while keeping its historic charm – be it a cosy log burner in the beamed lounge to a Cotswold stone wall in the garden. That said, features of this era such as the steep stairs leading to the second floor and steps up to the patio may not be suitable for those with limited mobility. Having said that, the centre of the village is just a two-minute walk from this home for a real taste of quintessential village life.

Home truths:
*There's unallocated free parking in the parking bays on the other side of the road to the home – this is shared with neighbouring properties
*This home is spread over two floors with steep stairs to the second floor – it may not be suitable for those with limited mobility
*There are seven steps leading up from the back door to the paved patio garden here
*Phone signal can be patchy here
*Your host can provide a cot and high chair for free upon request – though bedding is not provided for the cot so you will need to bring your own
