Dandelion Honey

We're completely hung up on this home in the Cotswolds, a dreamy apartment that's part of a stunning converted barn. Even arriving here has an ethereal charm, driving past miles of rolling green fields to a home that's a true countryside escape. Opening the front door, what first enamoured us were the high ceilings and French doors – the natural light of the farm outside hits every pocket of the living areas. But this home is more than just its light. It's a mix of rustic cottage and manor house in one, where grand stone fireplaces meet ridiculously comfy armchairs. Upstairs the bedroom is stunning and ornate, its large wooden bed living under vaulted ceilings and hugged by baby blue walls. As part of a working farm, the soundtrack to your stay is the cluck of hens and baa of sheep. Immerse yourself in life here, and you'll likely leave an aspiring farmer.

Home truths:
*There are other homes in the building so you won't be completely remote. The barbecue area is shared with the other apartments
*With sheep, pigs, horses, chickens and ducks on-site, the farm can occasionally be a little noisy – and expect some farm smells outside
*One of the two beds in the home is a sofa bed. This home may be comfier for groups of just two
*Stairs are required to access the bedroom, so this home is not suggested for guests with limited mobility
*There is parking on-site, but please make sure gateways are unobstructed
*The hosts have a further three cottages on the farm sleeping 2-4 in each - ask if you'd like to book more than one of these for your trip
