Alder Cottage sits proudly within a row of pretty terraced houses in the centre of the historic Cotswold town of Winchcombe. The cottage would formerly have been occupied by people who worked in one of the many thriving industries within the town such as; glove-making, agriculture, or in the silk mill. Whilst lovingly refurbished, Alder Cottage has retained beautiful historic features, such as the beams and stone floors but has all of the comforts you would expect from a Cotswolds Hideaway.

Enter Alder Cottage into the charming sitting room, with its feature flagstone flooring which continues throughout the ground floor; the exposed beams overhead create warmth and character, whilst the wood burning stove sitting on a slate hearth invites you to sit and enjoy its warmth and glow, and maybe watch the world go by outside on Winchcombe’s historic High Street.

Wander through to the exquisite kitchen, with its contemporary décor and state of the art amenities including a six-ring gas range cooker and instant hot water tap, this room will draw you in and acts as the hub of the cottage. Nip out in the morning to the local bakery and enjoy fresh pastries and coffee at the breakfast table, or soften the lighting in the evening and transform this space into an intimate space for dinner. The bright and airy bathroom is also located on the ground floor with a bath and over-head shower.

Moving upstairs to the bedrooms, the principle bedroom features an inviting super-king size bed with beautiful finishing touches, creating a peaceful and restful haven. Bedroom two is a touch smaller with access to the double bed from just one side, but equally as cosy and welcoming after a day exploring this beautiful part of the Cotswolds. This room is suitable for a single adult or two younger children, happy to share.

Outside, the enclosed rear garden offers a relaxing space to dine alfresco or enjoy an evening drink on those long summer evenings. The seating area in the garden has been thoughtfully placed to provide a view of the golden cockerel on the top of St Peter's Church tower.

Winchcombe high street is bustling with life and offers an abundance of shops, cafes and restaurants where there is sure to be something for everyone.

Winchcombe is famous for Sudley Castle and Gardens and is on the doorstep of many wonderful walks. If you want to venture further afield, there are many other Cotswold villages just a short drive away such as, Broadway, Snowshill and Chipping Campden. It is also just 6 miles from the regency spa town of Cheltenham.

Sleeping two adults (and up to two dogs) in each, the cabins can be rented together with friends or individually for a romantic escape. Both styled to perfection, you’ll find the cabins brimming with bespoke furniture and laid-back interiors. And with a cosy wood burning stove, outdoor Japanese hot tubs and your own private fire-pit, there’s plenty of opportunity to relax in style. Situated in 2.5 acres of private meadow, The Nest and The Nook both have ample space to breathe in the beautiful surroundings. Both cabins have their own private landscaped areas to enjoy - with each cabin looking as charming and welcoming as the next. The open-plan interior is perfectly put together. The lounge styling is suitably relaxed - with a thick rug, cosy textiles and well-stocked book shelves sitting perfectly next to the sofa, wood burning stove and romantic table for two. The bespoke kitchen area has all you could need to rustle up simple meals, with an induction hob, mini oven, fridge (with a small ice box) and a dishwasher. And the wooden worktops and open shelving keeps things looking superbly rustic. The basics are helpfully provided by the thoughtful owners - ground coffee, tea, rice, porridge etc. There's even some complimentary home baking on arrival. The handmade king size beds are stunning.

Here you can indulge in the Japanese hot tub and cedar swinging love seat - arguably, the most romantic decks in the whole of the Forest of Dean. There’s also a great firepit area that comes complete with a griddle and cooking utensils - perfect for some al-fresco cooking or marshmallow melting. Both the cabins welcome up to two dogs. With their own handmade doggy truckle bed, blanket, dog treats, and water and food bowls, it’s safe to say that man’s best friend is perfectly provided for too! With walkies from the door, you’ll both easily be able to get out and explore the beautiful surroundings. The location is fantastic, with walking and cycle routes through the forest from the door it couldn’t be easier to get out amongst the thick of it. Bring your own bikes or hire them onsite. If you prefer river-life then canoeing and wild swimming are both just a few minutes drive away. With plenty of places to eat out, you’ll be spoilt for choice.
