250 year old cottage in Central Tetbury

A charming 250 yr old Cotswold stone house set over 3 floors, Fox Cottage is just 200 m's from the town center of Tetbury. With many of its traditional features such as exposed beams, wooden floors & even a small, hobbit-style door leading onto a private roof terrace with seating for 4. Surrounded by rolling countryside, royals connections and historic buildings Tetbury is a great base to explore all The Cotswolds has to offer.
Pets considered, however there will be an additional cleaning fee.

Exploring Tetbury and the surrounding area

This was a charming, quaint, quirky little cottage, plenty big enough for 2 people, well equipped with everything you need. Because there is no garden, the little roof terrace was a godsend, especially as we had 3 beautifully hot days. Love the fox themed cottage but also the cute little hook on the bathroom door. This is on 3 storey with windy stairs, so some might find it difficult to manoeuvre.. The only downside is the extremely busy, noisy road outside( ( we were slap bang in the middle of harvesting, so traffic included tractors and combine harvesters. After all, this town is in the middle of prime agricultural land.I think the council should look at restricting the speed. A short walk takes you into Tetbury, albeit uphill but well worth exploring. Worthy of mention - Highgrove shop, Llamas in Pyjamas coffee shop, The Cheese shop, The Cherry Tree boutique, Chipping Steps, The Anniversary Garden, St Mary’s church, Westonbirt Arboretum (3miles away), Tetbury Goods Shed and so much more. Overall, a great few days! Never got bored once. Such a pretty town and cottage. Many Thanks to Jodie and Glenn who kept in touch throughout our stay and checked we were ok. They were very attentive!

Ideal location for the town and exploring the surrounding area.

Warm, cosy and well appointed townhouse style cottage. Clean and fully equipped cottage ideal for a relaxing break. Lots to see in the town and centrally located for local attractions. Lots a great walks start from close by as the old railway line is only 2 mins away. Lots of great features in the cottage and several extras provided by the hosts. Lots of free parking only a short walk away if you cannot park on the doorstep! Excellent communication from booking till check-in from the hosts and always quick responses. Would definitely stay again if we are ever back in the area and recommend this property.

Characterful cottage

We had a lovely stay in Fox cottage. The house was just as described in the advert. Great location in the town and for touring the area. Our only reservation is that it is on a busy road and parking isn't always easy.

Start your discovery of the Cotswolds area in this cottage!

The Cotswolds, where nature and history meet in this mystical scenery. And especially in this cottage, a historical gem, very clean, perfectly located and with a hidden roof terrace for your breakfast, you feel like you're staying over in one of Harry Potter's books. Tetbury is a beautiful, historical town with much to see, but you can reach other towns and cities like Cirencester, Bourton-on-the-water, Gloucester and much more very easily. Definitely visit the local church and ancient graveyard, the market, many antique shops and neverending nature walks. The owners, who we sadly never met (there was no need for), were always available via text or email. As it was my daughter's birthday, they even left her a present - imagine! Such hospitality is rarely found in today's all-is-business culture. Don't doubt to rent this place! -Sven T.

Lovely retreat !!

Although our first impression was it was small we were very comfortable. Best sleep we have all had for a long time!! Home from home with amenities and very clean. Only on one occasion did we have to park up the road a little. Good choice of cafes and restaurants. Bourton-on-the-Water worth a visit. Very good communication with host but left alone. Shower pressure good and use of Netflix for rainy days.

Town Centre Cottage

First time we had been to the Cotswolds and found this cottage ideal for Tetbury and surrounding areas including national trust properties. The cottage was small but cosy and had all the amenities you would need. Sometimes difficult to park outside property. Good eating places in Tetbury and lots of small independent shop and a good market. Tall people mind the beams
