Kate Moss escaped to The Cotswolds. So, I escaped to The Cotswolds.

For decades now, Kate Moss has made a pair of muddy Hunter wellies look effortlessly chic. From Glastonbury back in the ’00s right through to her latest campaign.
When she moved out of the city and settled in a quaint Cotswold village, she proved that a countryside escape and a gearing up in a trusty pair of boots to brave the mud never goes out of style.
If the madness of work, life and kids has you craving a slower pace, trading the stresses of everyday life for fresh air is our idea of the trendiest fix you can find.
Grab your wellingtons (Hunters or not), leave the stress at home, and recharge in the Cotswolds for a well-deserved break. Just like the most iconic supermodel swears by…

We tour a lot of Cotswold properties, but this home is a total breath of fresh air. It’s vibrant, eclectic, and full of personality.

🎨Meet Brock Cottage 🎨

Located in Kingham, just moments from top Cotswold highlights like Daylesford Organic and The Wild Rabbit, you are perfectly placed to explore what all the hype is about.🐇🌱

It isn't just the location that makes it special, the interior marks this out as a home that truly dares to be different. From the open-plan living areas, furnished with rich, deep tones, eclectic pieces, and remarkable artwork, to bedrooms designed with distinct individuality and bathrooms featuring striking tiles, we’d argue there really is nowhere quite like Brock Cottage.

For design enthusiasts who love House & Garden or Architectural Digest, this is a truly unique and exclusive retreat for your next Cotswold holiday.

❤Don’t just take our word for is, check out these guests comments:

“A beautiful, spacious house in a glorious, peaceful location. Exciting decor! There is a Wow factor ! We were a group of nine, from ages 27 to 79 and it ticked all our boxes.”
“We enjoyed our stay at this quirky house in beautiful surroundings. Lovely space for big family occasions.”
“The decor is spectacular - beautiful artwork everywhere and really great use of colour on the walls. The bathrooms are particularly gorgeous. We all came away wanting to redecorate our own homes!”
“Brock Cottage is everything and more! Each room has so much character, so much space and it’s perfect for a few families to hang out.”
“We loved the unique vibe and the location is ideal for exploring either on foot or in short drives to all the cotswold must-see spots.”

Tucked away in the heart of the northern Cotswold countryside. Stone cottage is the region is the true definition of a resting escape.

Gather four of your loved one for breakfast cooked on the Aga, afternoons reading with a cuppa and evening getting lost in games of scrabble in front of the fire.

Share this with who you would bring along 🤍

Starting the new year somewhere peaceful is the ideal way to begin, surrounded by nothing but relaxation and tranquillity. Whatever your reasons for heading away this New Year, taking time to recharge sets the perfect tone for the year ahead. 🎆🥂

We have only a handful of stays left for the festive season, ranging from romantic hideaways for two to large houses where the whole family can gather.
2027 is set to be a brilliant year… let’s start it off right.

There are an awful lot of recommendations when it comes to places to eat in the Cotswolds, but we couldn't trust anyone more than renowned chef Marco Pierre White. Building a career out of stand-out flavours and dishes, we don't feel he would send people somewhere not worth the journey. Here are the places in our corner of the country that he recommends 🤍 🍴

Ready for the return of The Traitors on BBC One tonight? 🤫🏰 FROM ONLY £50.40 PPPN, you can stay in this Traitors-inspired historic home!

With the new celebrity series launching, we cannot help but envy the cast getting to play such an entertaining game of deception. While Ardross Castle in Scotland isn’t open to the public, we are thrilled to share a spookily similar alternative hidden in the Herefordshire countryside 🌳 🐦‍⬛

Meet Kentchurch Court, a historic estate sleeping 20 to 26 guests. With grand banquet halls for tense breakfast debriefs, secret staircases, and sublime grounds for private challenges, it offers the ultimate backdrop for a Traitors-inspired getaway or family celebration.

Whether you're gathering your nearest and dearest for a long-overdue catch-up or want to test your loved ones at the round table, there is nowhere quite like it.

🏰 A quick note: Kentchurch Court is a cherished, historic family home…not a film set! Head over to our latest blog post to read our crucial game rules for enjoying this heritage site responsibly.
