About this property

Squirrels Drey

𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘆:

From the outside, it looks like this home tunnels right into the ground. Note the cute and comfortable domed ceiling, and inside you’ll find all your favourite luxury home fittings, with plenty of space to spare. You’ll find a fully functioning kitchen, space to eat and drink, and outside you can enjoy your own hot-tub to really settle in.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲:

In this adults-only retreat you’ll have access to your own private hot-tub, a full kitchen with appliances and cookware, lounge space with a Smart TV and a luxurious double bedroom.

𝗚𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀:

This property shares space with three other pods, each with access to a sauna, bbq, pizza oven, fire pits and outdoor games. We ask that you play nicely, and leave everything as you found it so that all guests can have the best experience.

Check in from 4PM and check out by 10AM. You can arrive at your own pace with self check-in via key box, just give us a call if you have any issues.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗡𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗯𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗱:

Set within the beautiful Cotswold countryside, the setting feels peaceful, open and quietly off-grid. The landscape feels open, green and peaceful in every direction. It's the perfect space to be active and explore, ideal for cycling, trail-running, or just walking and enjoying the abundant wildlife and fresh air.

South Cerney is only a fifteen minute drive and is one of the area’s most established villages. Think traditional stone cottages, small, friendly shops, lovely pubs and delightful cafés. Tree-lined lanes and village greens all lead directly towards scenic lakeside routes, so nature’s nearby even when you’re shopping.

Malmesbury is about 15 minutes by car in the other direction and has an impressive Abbey that’s worth a visit, along with several other protected gardens and greens. Kemble Station isn’t much further, with direct trains into London, making this spot practical for quick weekend visits as well as longer stays.

𝗚𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱:

You’ll want a car here - this is countryside with a capital C. That said, once you’re parked, you might not feel like leaving. The lakes, local towns and walking routes are all easy to reach, and there’s plenty to explore if you fancy stretching your legs. Kemble station (for direct trains from London) is around 20 minutes away by car, and there’s good access to Cirencester, Malmesbury and beyond.

𝗢𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲:

The house is dog friendly. One well-behaved dog is welcome (£35 per dog). This is also an adult-only retreat, though babes-in-arms are welcome. Quiet hours run from 10pm to 8am, and we ask guests to respect the peaceful setting: No parties, and no smoking indoors. The property isn’t suitable for accessibility needs.

𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗚𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘀:

Everybody finds peace in a different way, and that’s how it should be. From the moment you book, you decide the pace, and we’ll be there to help you plan, and create moments that really matter. It’s that little extra layer of support we offer to make sure everything runs smoothly. Thoughtful service, that never gets in the way of a good moment.

Whether that means a slow morning with a fresh pot of tea and a long soak, or a day out exploring neighbourhoods and nature - we’ll guide you, so it all unfolds just the way you’ve pictured it.

About the host

Hosted by Housekeepers

Host profile image

We're a boutique property management company with a hand-picked collection of exceptional homes in the Cotswolds called Be.Here. Every property in our portfolio has been personally selected, styled and maintained to a high standard, because we believe the space you stay in genuinely shapes the quality of your break. We're not a listing agency; we manage every home directly, which means consistent quality, attentive service and a team that's always on hand when you need us.

Why they chose this property

The Cotswolds is famous for good reason: the rolling hills, the picture-perfect villages, the honey-coloured cottages that seem to deepen in colour by late afternoon.

What tends to surprise people is everything else. Cheltenham Jazz Festival pulls a line-up you'd expect from a much larger city, and the Royal International Air Tattoo at Fairford is one of the great spectacles of the British summer. Theatres, galleries, antique shops and the kind of coffee stops worth a detour are scattered across the region, often in places you wouldn't think to look.

Daylesford Organic started as a farmshop and has quietly become something closer to a country estate you can spend the day inside, spa included. The Bull at Charlbury does a Sunday roast worth planning the weekend around. Aynhoe Park, since Restoration Hardware took it on, is somewhere between a country house and an art installation. The Cotswold Lakes are a world of their own, lodges on the water, paddleboards waiting for you, room to explore and room to do nothing at all.

This is our neighbourhood. So whether you're after a dog-friendly weekend of long walks and pub fires, a five-star house with a hot tub overlooking a lake, or somewhere to base yourself for a festival weekend, welcome. We're here to help.

What makes this property unique

Be.Here. is a collection of homes built for the kind of short stay that actually feels like one. Each one is different in setting, character, and shape of weekend, but they share the same quiet instinct for what a good break needs.

Nothing is left to chance. We've stayed in enough short-let homes to know which details matter, and we build every Be.Here. home around the ones that do.

Because a short break should feel like a real one. Whether you're here on your own with a book, around a long table with friends, or somewhere in between, the home should disappear into the background and let the weekend happen. That's the art of a great stay.
