The Hermitage is a romantic Cotswold stone cottage, located in the large grounds of a beautiful manor house in the picturesque village of Poulton.
The property is the perfect retreat for a couple who are seeking some time away from the hustle and bustle of normal life, in the stunning countryside. Park-up in the private parking space directly outside the cottage and enter through the oak front door, into the beautiful main living space, which consists of a large king-size bed, a dining table, a small sofa and an armchair, a warming wood burning stove and a Smart TV; the perfect room for relaxing of an evening with your loved one with a glass of wine, as you are kept warm and toasty from the stove. A step leads down from the living area to the well-presented kitchen, which contains all the appliances you require to rustle up a wonderful dinner, to be enjoyed over candle light at the dining table. Located off the kitchen, the bathroom contains a large walk-in shower where you can enjoy an invigorating rinse, as well as a basin and WC. Directly outside the cottage, there is a private, non enclosed garden area, where you will find a peaceful patio area, with a table and four chairs, plus a charcoal barbecue to make use of when the weather allows! Although small, Poulton has a well-regarded pub, The Falcon Inn, which is a traditional British country dining pub with a focus on locally brewed cask ales, an interesting wine list and classic English menu.
Enjoy a leisurely stroll around the village and venture into the nearby park to admire the stunning scenery. The village is a short drive away from the Roman town of Cirencester, the largest market town in the Cotswolds, where you will find an array of shops along the Market Place and can brush up on some history at Corinium Museum which shows impressive Roman artifacts that have been well-preserved. Burford, the “gateway to the Cotswolds” is close by, which is a town with some fantastic shops, restaurants and tourist attractions including Cotswold Wildlife Park and Gardens, a landscaped parkland filled with nature and also Tolsey Museum, which has local history, culture, and industry collections. Venture slightly further afield to the wonderful village of Bourton-on-the-Water, which straddles the River Windrush and is affectionately known as the ‘Venice of the Cotswolds’, where you can view an extensive collection of vintage cars and motoring exhibits alongside historic toys and a gift shop, or enjoy some time amongst the wildlife and discover over 500 birds at Birdland Park and Gardens. For a romantic stay in the Cotswolds with your dearest one, stay at The Hermitage.
