🍂🍁 In Gloucestershire, the Forest of Dean turns into something truly magic once the air chills. In autumn, the ancient canopy explodes into deep golds and fiery reds, while winter brings quiet, misty mornings perfect for crisp woodland walks and pub fires. It’s a landscape shaped by centuries of history, from ancient royal hunting grounds and Roman mines to timeless folklore, making it feel a world away without the plane ticket. 🍂🍁

The village that 99% of tourists drive straight past… 🚗

There are a few famous spots everyone gravitates towards when visiting the Cotswolds. Whether it’s the iconic Arlington Row in Bibury, the charming footbridges of Bourton-on-the-Water, or the vibrant market square of Stow-on-the-Wold, these spots will always attract the crowds.

Thanks to our local expertise, we know all the hidden locations you should visit if you want to experience the magic of the Cotswolds without the busy crowds…and this is the one people almost always miss.

Northleach is what we like to call the quieter alternative to Stow-on-the-Wold. This peaceful market town is home to a handful of wonderful independent shops, historic timber-framed buildings, and cosy cafes to grab a coffee or lunch.
It’s also the perfect base for exploring the local area, with quick access to nearby towns like Cirencester and Tetbury. Packed with scenic walking routes, cycling paths, and rich history, this is your ultimate local spot to an uncrowded Cotswold getaway. 🌿☕

📌 Save this post for your next trip to the Cotswolds!

Kate Moss escaped to The Cotswolds. So, I escaped to The Cotswolds.

For decades now, Kate Moss has made a pair of muddy Hunter wellies look effortlessly chic. From Glastonbury back in the ’00s right through to her latest campaign.
When she moved out of the city and settled in a quaint Cotswold village, she proved that a countryside escape and a gearing up in a trusty pair of boots to brave the mud never goes out of style.
If the madness of work, life and kids has you craving a slower pace, trading the stresses of everyday life for fresh air is our idea of the trendiest fix you can find.
Grab your wellingtons (Hunters or not), leave the stress at home, and recharge in the Cotswolds for a well-deserved break. Just like the most iconic supermodel swears by…

We tour a lot of Cotswold properties, but this home is a total breath of fresh air. It’s vibrant, eclectic, and full of personality.

🎨Meet Brock Cottage 🎨

Located in Kingham, just moments from top Cotswold highlights like Daylesford Organic and The Wild Rabbit, you are perfectly placed to explore what all the hype is about.🐇🌱

It isn't just the location that makes it special, the interior marks this out as a home that truly dares to be different. From the open-plan living areas, furnished with rich, deep tones, eclectic pieces, and remarkable artwork, to bedrooms designed with distinct individuality and bathrooms featuring striking tiles, we’d argue there really is nowhere quite like Brock Cottage.

For design enthusiasts who love House & Garden or Architectural Digest, this is a truly unique and exclusive retreat for your next Cotswold holiday.

“We enjoyed our stay at this quirky house in beautiful surroundings. Lovely space for big family occasions.”
“The decor is spectacular - beautiful artwork everywhere and really great use of colour on the walls. The bathrooms are particularly gorgeous. We all came away wanting to redecorate our own homes!”
“Brock Cottage is everything and more! Each room has so much character, so much space and it’s perfect for a few families to hang out.”
“We loved the unique vibe and the location is ideal for exploring either on foot or in short drives to all the cotswold must-see spots.”

Tucked away in the heart of the northern Cotswold countryside. Stone cottage is the region is the true definition of a resting escape.

Gather four of your loved one for breakfast cooked on the Aga, afternoons reading with a cuppa and evening getting lost in games of scrabble in front of the fire.
