If all that activity sounds like hard work, just kick off your shoes and spend the day lounging by the fire pit toasting marshmallows enjoying the beautiful countryside, wander down to the local pub or cozy up next to the log burner. The Cotswolds is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and you will be staying in the heart of this wonderful area.
