The Space:
Step into Poplar Cottage and you'll immediately feel the charm of this beautifully converted 150-year-old barn. Original features blend seamlessly with modern comforts, creating a space that feels both characterful and welcoming.
The heart of the cottage is the stunning farmhouse-style kitchen/diner - perfect for preparing meals together and gathering around the table. When it's time to unwind, the cosy sitting room beckons with its electric fire, comfortable seating, and a little library of books for those peaceful moments.
You'll sleep well in the two thoughtfully presented bedrooms - a king-size for a restful night's sleep and a single room that's perfect for a child or solo traveller. The modern shower room keeps things fresh and practical with its walk-in shower.
Outside, the furnished patio is where you'll want to spend your mornings with coffee and evenings with a glass of wine, all while taking in those gorgeous views across the working farmland. The lawned garden gives you space to breathe and truly appreciate this special setting.
Everything you need is here - from the well-equipped kitchen with dishwasher and washing machine to the reliable heating and WiFi (though it's on the slower side, which might just encourage you to switch off and enjoy the peace). We've included all your bed linen and towels, and can provide a travel cot and highchair if you're travelling with little ones.
With ample parking right outside and just two steps to the front door, arriving feels effortless. This really is a place where you can settle in and feel completely at home.
Guest Access:
Getting to Poplar Cottage is straightforward - you'll find ample off-road parking right outside, with just two steps up to the front door.
We'll send you all the access details through our booking platform before your arrival, so you can settle in at your own pace. The cottage sits at the end of a peaceful tree-lined drive, so you'll know you've found your quiet escape the moment you arrive.
The Neighborhood:
Dumbleton is one of those lovely unspoiled Cotswolds villages that feels genuinely authentic - no tourist crowds, just peaceful countryside and friendly locals. You're perfectly positioned here, with the chocolate-box village of Broadway (often called the 'capital of the Cotswolds') just a short drive away for browsing shops and enjoying a proper pub lunch.
The cottage sits on working farmland, so you'll wake up to genuine country views and the gentle sounds of rural life. Public footpaths crisscross the area, making it easy to explore the rolling countryside on foot, and you're welcome to wander the farm's own fields down to the nearby River Isbourne.
For bigger adventures, you're well-placed for day trips to historic Tewkesbury with its stunning medieval abbey, the regency spa town of Cheltenham, or charming Winchcombe with its beautiful abbey and walking trails. Stratford-upon-Avon is also within easy reach for a proper day out.
But honestly, you might find the peace and beauty right here at the cottage is exactly what you came for.
The nearest shop and pub are about 3 miles away - far enough to feel properly remote, close enough for essentials when you need them.
Getting Around:
The cottage comes with ample off-road parking right outside, so your car is sorted from the moment you arrive. You'll definitely want to keep it handy - this is genuine countryside, so having your own transport opens up all the best bits of the Cotswolds.
Broadway is just a short drive away for your essential village browsing and pub lunches, while Winchcombe, Tewkesbury, and Cheltenham are all easily reachable for day trips. The roads around here are quintessentially English - narrow, winding, and absolutely beautiful, especially in spring and summer.
If you fancy exploring on foot, there are lovely public footpaths right from the cottage, and you're welcome to wander the farm's own fields. The walking here is gentle and rewarding, with those gorgeous Cotswold Hills views as your backdrop.
The nearest shop and pub are about 3 miles away, so it's worth stocking up on essentials when you're out and about. But that's all part of the charm - you're genuinely away from it all here.
Other Things to Note:
Just a few practical bits to help you settle in smoothly:
The WiFi here is on the slower side - perfect if you're hoping to properly switch off and enjoy the peace, though it'll handle emails and basic browsing just fine.
There are two steps from the parking area up to the front door, and then a flight of stairs to the first floor and bedrooms, so worth noting if you're travelling with heavy luggage or have mobility considerations.
The cottage sits on a working farm, so you might hear the gentle sounds of rural life - tractors during the day, sheep in the distance, that sort of thing. It's all part of the authentic countryside experience, but thought we'd mention it.
