In the Area

Our cosy cottage sits in the quiet village of Coln St Aldwyns, with unrivalled access to the golden scenes the Cotswolds is known for. Home to the famously pretty Arlington Row, a line of historic houses plucked straight from a fairytale, the idyllic village of Bibury is only a stone's throw away. Walking down the scenic street, you'll soon see why William Morris called Bibury 'the most beautiful village in England'. Extending your explorations a little further, you'll find the pastoral charms of Burford, Stow-on-the-Wold, and Moreton-in-Marsh are all delightfully close, each boasting its own captivating characters and sights. Cirencester, the capital of the Cotswolds, is only 20 minutes away, giving you easy access to the vibrant market town and its many beckoning independent shops and restaurants.

Making the most of the bountiful landscape found throughout the Cotswolds, you'll find some exceptional farm shops nearby, which boast a myriad of local offerings. Renowned Daylesford Organic offers an impressive mix of local produce, beautifully crafted homewares and home fragrances, which can also be found throughout the retreat.

Pick up everything you need for a foodie night in or whisk yourselves away to one of the quaint country pubs where flickering fires and exceptional food awaits. The New Inn in Coln St Aldwyns is full to the rafters with rustic charm, whether you're seeking a drink at the bar after an amble through the countryside or a divine sit-down meal by the Cotswold stone fireplace. The Pig in Barnsley is only a short distance by car, promising delicious seasonal dishes within its 25-mile menu. You'll find equally bucolic scenes at the likes of The Keepers inn Quenington, The Swan in Southrop, and The Crown in Ampney Crucis, all of which celebrate the golden charms of the Cotswolds, from the honey-hued aesthetic to the home-grown ingredients that make the dishes shine. Known for its racecourse and prestigious steeplechase, Cheltenham is also home to one of the Cotswolds' most outstanding Michelin star restaurants, Le Champignon Sauvage, where you can enjoy an extra special dining experience.

With such a rich and ancient landscape to explore, it is the perfect base for those looking to enjoy the Cotswolds on foot. Head out from the cottage for a stroll that awakens the senses or venture a little further afield to the rolling delights of The Cotswold Way and The Blossom Trail. From the fascinating sights of the Cotswold Wildlife Park to the refreshing wiles of Dunkertons Cider in the beautiful Regent town of Cheltenham, there is much to discover in this idyllic corner of the South West.


For staycation magic in the honey-kissed idylls of the Cotswolds, Clover promises endless country charm for two guests and one canine companion...

We’ve curated a guide to some of the best walks in Gloucestershire, from ambles through leafy woodland corridors to strolls beside meandering riverside scenes.

We know how gorgeous our retreats are, but don’t just take our word for it – here’s what previous guests say about Clover :

The cottage is well located with lovely river walks on the doorstep. We loved the local village community shop and The New Inn was very welcoming and good food (a fairly limited menu but OK if you like burgers!). We found it a very friendly village to stay in and enjoyed exploring some of the other places around. Cirencester is well worth a visit and we loved The Swan pub at Southrop.

Very cosy and enjoyable stay at the beehive with a fabulous convenience store down the road as well as a wonderful pub only a short walk away that served delicious food all day. We’d love to revisit in the future.
