Farmyard Bells

Set within a traditional Cotswolds barn, this charming home looks too good to be true with its stone and duck egg blue exterior and its flower-filled hanging baskets at the door. But inside you'll find its country charm is the real deal. The living room is particularly delightful, with exposed stone walls, seriously sumptuous sofas complete with faux-fur throws, and an idyllic wood burner to keep things extra cosy. The gorgeous blue-tiled kitchen has everything you need to throw together a hearty meal, best enjoyed out in the garden beneath the cherry blossom trees and views of the rolling countryside beyond the garden's perimeter. There are plenty of hiking routes nearby to keep you entertained - well, you'll want to do a little bit of exercise so you can reward yourself with a well-deserved soak in the luxurious bathtub, won't you? With the nearby town of Chipping Sodbury just a six-minute drive away and both Bristol and Bath less than 30 minutes away, this Cotswolds gem is the perfect romantic getaway.

Home truths:
* There is a communal grill which can be used for a barbecue if requested
* Wifi is available but it may not always be the fastest due to the home's country location
* The hosts live on-site with their dog, but you'll have a separate entrance
* You'll need to bring your own shampoo
*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
