A birthday treat

We stayed at Tudor Cottage for three nights, a treat for my Husbands birthday . The cottage is from the 15 th century and is called a burbage . Which means it belonged to a King or Lord ! In this case King Henry the Eighth . Huge wood fire ,,which made the living room really cosy Although old , the cottage has everything you could wish for. There is a lovely garden out the back , which I am sure in the summer evenings , it would be a lovely place to sit and enjoy a drink or two . The bedrooms are beautifully furnished . My only negative is the stairs , which are steep and windy . My Hysband had to carry our dig up and down at bedtime . Fairford is a lovely little town with access to some beautiful parts of the Cotsworlds. We had an Indian takeaway on our first evening there , which I would recommend . Overall , a lovely stay .

Perfect ambiance for tour of countryside

This cottage, with its exposed beams, plank flooring, in a picturesque village, puts you in the right frame of mind for touring historic sites. We stayed there and drove up to the Cotswolds villages, also over to Bath and Avebury. We saw many National Trust houses. This apartment was convenient, comfortable, and had all modern appliances we needed. Stores are nearby, and one in particular, the butcher, has nice pies and other items that are delightful. A great place to stay.
