Ground Floor

Walking in from the courtyard, guests are greeted by flagstone flooring, vibrant green walls and a charming selection of antiquities – from botany illustrations to ornate cherry wood furniture. To the right of the entry is a bathroom painted in a calming marine blue, featuring underfloor heating, a generous walk-in shower and luxury bath products.

The cosy living room at the end of the hallway has a rustic feel to it, with its polished wooden floors and locally sourced antique furniture. After a long day of exploring quaint Cotswolds villages, you can sink into the deep blue velvet sofa, and for a quiet read you have a well-curated stash of architecture and gardening books, in homage to the owner’s passion for sustainability and the property’s original occupier – the gardener of the Standish House estate.

Tucked away in the corner you’ll find a compact kitchenette, designed for for slow, relaxed cooking and equipped with all the necessities to rustle up breakfast and light bites with local farm shop goodies. There’s an Everhot Stove, separate wine fridge, and an Air Fryer. You can also help yourself to seasonal vegetables and herbs from the garden, or simply take some home with you on departure!

First Floor

Upstairs, there are two snug bedrooms painted in neutral sandy hues and filled with more charming antique features. The master bedroom features a King-size bed, a vintage dressing table and oversized mirror. The second bedrooms is equally cosy with a double bed and small dressing table. Expect plush linens and squishy mattresses toppers for a restful night’s sleep. We love the pops of colour from the lamps and scatter cushions, as well as the free-standing antique wardrobes in each room.

Outside

The south-facing courtyard garden is shared with the owner’s landscape design studio, who champion sustainability, and is surrounded by acres of meadows filled with vegetable beds and orchards. You’ll find your own table and chairs, so you can enjoy your morning coffees and breakfasts accompanied by the babbling stream across the country road. Please note that the studio has its own separate entrance and is not used on weekends.

Next door to the studio you’ll find The Gatehouse Café, a small and bespoke space offering the very best of local suppliers. Please note, The café is now closed until Spring 2026.
