Ivy Cottage

Ivy Cottage works well for couples or individuals wanting a quiet Cotswolds base. The cottage is a single bedroom with one bathroom, sleeping two, and you have the whole place to yourself. It sits in Chedworth village, where walking routes fan out through the surrounding countryside—the village is known for its network of public footpaths and sits in a pastoral valley where alpacas and lambs dot the fields.

Downstairs is an open-plan living space with a woodburner and Smart TV, plus a kitchen equipped for proper cooking: electric oven, range, microwave, dishwasher and washer-dryer mean you can manage most meal plans or laundry needs. Upstairs is a king bedroom and a bathroom with both bath and shower. The property has an enclosed garden with seating and a barbecue, and private parking for one car on site. Wi-Fi, electricity, bed linen, towels and logs for the woodburner are all included.

The village is close to Chedworth Roman Villa, and Cirencester, Bath, Cheltenham, Oxford and the Cotswolds market towns are all within easy driving distance. The driveway is narrow and there are seven steps down into the garden; inside, stairs are steep and narrow. No smoking.
