Mouse Manor - accepte les animaux, Longborough près de Stow-on-the-Wold

Between Moreton-in-Marsh and Stow-on-the-Wold, Longborough is a secret retreat and Mouse Manor makes the perfect bolthole. Nestled amongst open countryside you have everything you need on your doorstep. The village pub, Coach and Horses, will welcome you for evening drinks or a meal and the village shop makes sure you can stock up on essentials and a taste of local produce during your stay.

Amongst the quiet streets lined with Cotswold stone houses sits Mouse Manor. Hugged by greenery it is an adorable cottage with a wealth of personality. Flagstones line the floors, wooden beams are above and in the kitchen the AGA is a beautiful addition. Whilst retaining its traditional heritage you will feel at home here. The cosy sitting room and kitchen make up the ground floor while above are two bedrooms and a bright bathroom. Outside, the garden is the cherry on the cake. Stretching before you there is space to dine and you can safely let the dog out. After long country walks and days spent visiting beautiful neighbouring towns, spread out a blanket and enjoy the peace and quiet, occasionally accented by the church bells.

There is so much to see and do in this golden triangle of the Cotswolds, you are spoilt for choice. Sezincote House and Gardens, Batsford Arboretum and Cotswold Farm Park are much loved attractions, and during the Summer months you are in a prime spot to attend the Longborough Festival Opera.

Ground Floor

Living Room
This cosy nook, warmed by the fire, is the embodiment of Cotswold life. Coming back from a day out and about, pour yourselves a glass of wine and take in your surroundings. As the fire crackles you can appreciate the changing hues of the exposed stone walls and the characterful wooden beam. Let the children watch TV while you flick through a magazine, gazing out to your view of rural life.

Kitchen/diner
The golden tones of Cotswold stone, flagstone flooring and centrepiece AGA take you back in time in this traditional country kitchen. A table set for four invites you for dinner and you can step out to the garden for evening drinks.

First Floor

Bedroom One
Village views of a quiet cottage lined street greet you in bedroom one. The double bed rests between bedside cabinets where you can set your cup of tea as you enjoy a lie-in. To one side, built-in wardrobes are tucked away providing plenty of storage.

Bedroom Two
Two single beds nestle in this peaceful bedroom which looks across the garden at the back of the house. For families, this room is great for the children as there is a TV to provide entertainment and keep them out of mischief.

Bathroom
A cheerful pop of colour brings life to the bathroom which has a bath with a handheld shower and a separate shower.

Outside

Planted borders, hidden pathways and secluded sunny spots make it hard for you to drag yourself away from the garden at Mouse Manor. It stretches before you with a dining terrace and lawns, blooming with life and colour in spring and summer. Sunny days can be spent lazing, book in hand, or playing games with the children while burgers are grilled at the BBQ. This quintessentially English garden is a haven.
