    A Grade I listed Stuart garden house of 1620 in a private wooded valley in the heart of the Cotswolds. Sleeps 2 to 5 on three floors. Loggia on the ground floor has views over the listed gardens of the Tudor manor house.

    The Court House with its romantic period charm is a favourite with history and architecture buffs. The front door opens directly into a garden loggia restored as an attractive dining room. The glass doors, divided by a simple Tuscan column, here frame the view of the east wing of the manor house and its yew trees immortalized by the etching of the famous Cotswold artist F.L. Griggs.

    The small open-plan kitchen leads from the dining room. The bathroom lies beyond, with a bath and over-bath shower.

    A narrow spiral staircase leads to a pretty sitting room in the old Justice Room on the first floor, with vintage horsehai...     Read more

    “Disappointing”
    Reviewed 11 February 2017 for a stay in January 2017

    While the cottage is charming and the location is stunning, I would not recommend it for a winter stay as it is very cold and draughty despite the heating being on. We got off to a bad start because the keys were not in the arranged collection place and we had to locate the owner and wait in the car...

    “A unique cottage in paradise”
    Reviewed 16 May 2016 for a stay in May 2016

    The cottage is on the Owlpen Manor estate which owns much of a very beautiful valley. Some of the most enchanting English countryside I have encountered. Long walks can begin from the front door and guests can wander around the estate. The local countryside is really quite exceptional. The house is not huge but is a unique old building and...
