Tarnshade Cottage

Tarnshade Cottage comes fully set up for a self-catering stay: electricity, Wi-Fi, bed linen and towels are all included, so you arrive to a ready-made home rather than a bare rental. The kitchen is open-plan to the dining area, making it easy to cook and eat together, and there's a log burner for colder evenings. Three bedrooms sleep six people, with a cot and highchair available if needed.

Outside, an enclosed garden has a barbecue for outdoor meals, and there's on-site parking plus an electric car charging point. One dog is welcome. The cottage is in a village with a pub nearby, and sits within reach of the Cotswolds' smaller towns and countryside. Cheltenham is accessible for shopping, racing, or its literary and music festivals. Smoking is not permitted inside.
