Here, a dining table for twelve sits under a thick beam that only adds to the charm of this place - complete with a bar and open fireplace, this majestic room only gets better. The kitchen is bright, airy and classically Cotswolds complete with a breakfast table and ample space for rustling up local produce or sipping on organic cider from nearby farm shop and taproom, Dunkertons. Spend evenings in the sitting room, perching in front of the finely crafted wood burner - the most comfortable spot to sink into a book or chat with friends and family to the sound of crackling flames.
Just a few footsteps from the property lies direct access to the breathtaking Cotswold Way, which you can follow for miles of majestic walks through The Cotswolds' symphony of scenic woodlands, weaving pathways and vast common land. When you get peckish, grab a drink and food at one of the glorious pubs in the area where popular spots include Winchcombe, Stow-on-the-Wold and Bourton-on-the-Water - all within a short distance from The Old Tractor Shed.
