About this space
My home is a beautiful Cotswold cottage only a 15 minute walk from the centre of the vibrant market town Cirencester. There is one double, one twin and a further top floor room with workspace and day bed, that can be used as an additional single bed on request at time of booking.

Cirencester is a wonderfully vibrant market town. Known as Corinium during Roman times, this historic town is just minutes from beautiful countryside, picturesque Cotswold villages, the Cotswolds Water Park and surrounding lakes, as well as having good road links via the M4 and M5 motorways.
There are lovely walks right on your doorstep, as well as The Plough pub offering excellent local cuisine. The town centre is around 15 minutes from the property, with a great range of shops, local boutiques, numerous independent cafés and restaurants. There is also a regular market selling local produce in the town square, adjacent to the 12th century Cirencester Abbey and the Corinium museum.
Take a walk up the stunning Cirencester Park, where you will find Roots & Shoots cafe and children's play area tucked away. There is also the the open air swimming pool, fed by a natural spring and heated to 26C.
Cirencester town centre has an exciting wide range of food and drink places to suit everyone. Some of my favourites include Sultan & Rajdoot (Indian Cuisine), Thai Emerald (Thai Cuisine), La Passione & Amore Mio (Italian Cuisine), Sam & Jak's, the Malt & Anchor and The Fleece (European / English Cuisine).
There is a local convenience store and post office 20 metres from the cottage . There are many supermarkets in town and on the outskirts, including Tesco Extra & Waitrose.
