Psst... These Last Minute Stays Won't Last! 🤫

The bank holiday is looking a whole lot more promising, but ACT FAST. These are the final stays, ready to welcome you this August Bank Holiday.

Due to late availability and cancellations, some of our top picks are available for the most exclusive weekend of the whole year. Get ready to send summer off in the best way possible in locations specifically selected for their timeless charm and endless possibilities.

🛶 Drift down the River Wye and retreat back to The Weir House. This exceptional spot puts you just steps from canoe launches, riverside pubs, and stunning scenery you'll remember forever.

☕ Café hop around Cheltenham, home to one of The Cotswolds' most exceptional scenes for coffee shops and bakeries.

🎬 Watched Rivals? Filmed in and around Tetbury, make your way around the shooting locations of this wonderful town.

🏰 Take in the culture of English history at Sudeley Castle; in fact, these final three cottages on the estate offer free admission for any guests staying.

🍻 Finally, unwind in the village of Stanton, a lesser-known spot in the Cotswolds with walks on the doorstep, moments from Broadway, and a cracking pub!

HURRY, this is an exclusive call out for our followers… they will book fast!

There are plenty of properties to browse for your next autumn getaway, but Hopscotch House is the one to book 🍂 🍁

Spend your mornings cooking a hearty breakfast on the Aga, and your evenings unwinding over a glass of red by the fire. Perfectly placed in the heart of Stanton (just outside Broadway), you can enjoy a true taste of rural life: stroll through quiet fields as horses clop past, take in panoramic views from The Mount Inn, or pop into Broadway to sit in cosy cafes and watch the world go by.
This is our idea of what an autumn break in the Cotswolds should look like...

Can we do autumn like it’s a '90s rom-com?
If your Pinterest boards are already brimming with cosy rituals and stills from your favourite comfort watches, take this as your official sign to romanticise the season.
Book that cottage in the countryside, curl up with a good book, cook hearty meals, and live your life like a montage straight out of a Nancy Meyers film…

Oak Cottage | Swerford | Sleeps 4

🚜 🐑 We don’t know what we love most about this place: its charming interiors, original cottage features, or the fact that it’s just a stone’s throw from both Diddly Squat Farm Shop and Soho Farmhouse 🐑 🚜

Oak Cottage, set in the stunning village of Swerford, is a peaceful retreat right in the heart of the Cotswolds. Sleeping up to 4 guests, it is ideal for a family or group of friends looking for some downtime.
Stroll down to The Boxing Hare, one of the region's finest pubs, or drive over to Daylesford or Diddly Squat to pick up local produce for a delicious evening meal back at the cottage.
