Cotswolds

[hopeishere]

Am pickling my head with about 40 tabs open looking for self catering
accommodation!!

Any recommendations for any particular websites? Airbnb and Vrbo are ok but interested in any better recommendations.

Also any WW1 related sites in the area?

@hopeishere

Quite a few working farms have self catering accommodation (Btw instead of ‘Cotswolds’ you could also try Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire and Wiltshire in the search engines)

Try:

www.farmstay.co.uk

www.farmholidays.co.uk

Also:

www.owlpen.com (we had a lovely stay in the grist mill but there are other cottages and houses on this ‘secret’ estate)

www.church farm cottages.com

@hopeishere

Should be:

www.churchfarmcottages.com

Thank you!

And we are more Roman than WWI. But give me a minute...

There you go. I knew I'd read something about there being quite a few Thankful and Doubly Thankful places across the Cotswolds.

The only thing I can think of are the airport's, plane manufacturers around Gloucester, Cheltenham. They are business parks now but might make interesting reading.

Thank you so much!!

£££ but lovely www.bruern-holiday-cottages.co.uk

We stayed in one of these lodges in summer and they were really nice waterpark.org/places-to-stay/self-catering/

Lovely place to stay, there's the Soldiers of Gloucestershire Museum in Gloucester for WW1 links.

@Peabody25 I've looked at the various bits of the water park- is it very crowded and massively busy??

No we stayed in one bit that was literally just lodges but then could walk across a bridge over the river and there was the de vere hotel, a playground, tennis courts, mini golf, a cotswold outdoor shop and a lovely Italian. Then there were other sites that had the water activities on.

We also booked a day at the manmade beach and water park which was brilliant, about 15 mins drive from where we were. www.cotswoldcountryparkandbeach.com/

Had done lovely days out in bourton on the water and stow on the wold as well.

Very expensive but lovely. www.biburyfarm.com

We've been pleased with Classic Cottages.

We have stayed here a few times and it's lovely. Really great space for a family and in the beautiful village of Snowshill where Bridget Jones went for her Turkey Curry. Would highly recommend. country-idyll.co.uk/property/2-glebe-cottages/

Try Broadway Manor Cottages www.broadwaymanor.co.uk they have a couple of family sized cottages in the grounds if an old Cotswold Manor House, shared grounds but plenty of space and a few sheep, chickens and ducks to feed.

Btw instead of ‘Cotswolds’ you could also try Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire and Wiltshire in the search engines

And Worcestershire! Some beautiful places e.g. Broadway are there.
