The Crows Nest

The rolling Cotswolds countryside around Cheltenham holds villages and market towns within easy reach, alongside walking trails and cycling routes that crisscross the hills. The Crows Nest sits in this landscape as a converted barn at Dowdeswell Court, sleeping six across three bedrooms and three bathrooms—enough space for families or two couples to spread out comfortably.

Inside, an open-plan ground floor combines living, dining and kitchen areas with bi-fold doors opening to the garden. The kitchen is properly equipped for self-catering, with electric cooking, a dishwasher, fridge, freezer and microwave. Upstairs, one bedroom has a king bed with ensuite, another a king bed, and a third holds two single beds. A shower room sits on the ground floor alongside a utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer. Electricity, bed linen and towels are included.

The private garden is the draw: there's a hot tub for evening soaks, outdoor seating to take in the views, and space to settle in after a day exploring. A pub sits within a mile. The property is non-smoking throughout.
