About this property
Resting in the Cotswolds AONB, in the market town of Moreton-in-Marsh, Gloucestershire, is Oakmead, a fabulous one-bedroom cottage. Enveloped by nature-filled walking trails and attractions, and within proximity to local amenities and transport links, the cottage welcomes two guests, offering the ideal base for a romantic getaway. Benefit from the well-equipped kitchen with breakfast bar, where you can prepare and enjoy your meals, with the helping hand of a gas hob, microwave, and dishwasher to meet your self-catering needs. Head into the conservatory for views out to the garden, or perhaps opt for an alfresco arrangement, by gathering around the outdoor furniture with a glass of wine in hand. Retire to the inviting sitting room, complete with an electric fire, Smart TV, and plush seating, where you can cosy up and enjoy a film night before preparing for bed. Upstairs you will find a spacious double bedroom, complete with plenty of storage to unpack and make yourself at home, and a sleek bathroom, ideal for completing your morning or evening routines. Venture out into the town to experience the local community and its array of shops, traditional pubs, tea rooms and 18th-century buildings. On your travels, opt for an immersive experience at Cotswold Falconry Centre, tour the stunning grounds of Bourton House Garden, or enjoy a stroll around Sezincote House & Garden, covering 3,500 acres. Travelling towards Bourton-on-the-Water, make your way around The Dragonfly Maze, tour Cotswold Motoring Museum & Toy Collection and its 20th century motoring collection, or view the village from above at The Model Village landmark. If you're interested in history, arrange a trip to Shakespeare's Birthplace, or if you're an art enthusiast, head to The MAD Museum, whilst Bancroft Basin is the ideal setting for an afternoon of people watching, surrounded by the river Avon and pretty gardens. Head to Gloucestershire with Oakmead as your base.
On the Fosse Way Roman Road in the northern Cotswolds, the Saxon market town of Moreton-in-Marsh is home to numerous exquisite 18th-century structures that house traditional inns that serve real ales and home-cooked meals, tea rooms, restaurants, and specialty stores to satisfy all tastes.

It was well decorated and furnished to a high standard. Garden was very nice and tidy. Looking forward to returning the next time we visit the Cotswold area.

The cottage was clean, well equipped and a great position to walk into town for the large choice of pubs, restaurants and coffee houses. I loved waiting to see the train each day which did not interfere with the general quietness of the area.
