You'll find bicycles on site at this family-friendly cottage. Jump into your car and make short work of the 15-minute drive to Fairytale Farm or the 17-minute drive to Cotswold Wildlife Park and Gardens (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

After you return, you can unwind by the indoor pool or sip a drink in the garden; you may also like the nearby pool access and fitness center. As for the great indoors, you can try your hand at table tennis, or enjoy the free WiFi, TV, and DVD player.

The kitchen is equipped with an oven, a stovetop, and a full-sized refrigerator/freezer, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and a microwave.
