The Perfect Cotswold Cottage for Two

[Please note changeover days are Friday/Monday before booking i.e. Weekend stays are ONLY Friday to Monday Weekday stays are ONLY Monday to Friday]

Dating back to 1624 and immaculately restored this beautiful little one bedroom designer cottage oozes character. With its own large garden and country views it is located in the peaceful village of Tarlton whilst being close to chic Cirencester and Prince Charles' Tetbury.

The owners, an art advisor and writer, have taken great care in creating a unique interior of great style in a restoration of the highest quality. All the original features have been retained with natural floors, beamed ceilings and an inglenook fireplace. There are velvet sofas, beautiful oriental carpets, fine art and classic books. Lighting is discrete and atmospheric whilst a log stove provides a delightful atmosphere.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

Hosted by Martin & Julie

Host profile image
We have been visiting the Cotswolds for many years and loved it so much that we decided to move here with our retired guide dog - Lola the Labrador.

Why they chose this property

Asphodel Cottage was our own Cotswold retreat for several years before we decided to move to the area. Since then we have converted the property in to a dedicated holiday rental, equipped with every possible extra, for everyone to enjoy!

We bought the cottage as a very run down and neglected property and carefully restored it from earth and bare walls using traditional materials and methods.

Using our design and art consultancy experience we added a stylish and comfortable interior together with top quality appliances, satellite TV and unlimited wifi.

We hope that you enjoy the cottage as much as we still often do.

What makes this property unique

We think that we have the only detached thatched cottage for two persons in the Cotswolds.

Together with its private garden, peaceful rural location and it is a pretty and unique property.

It is a perfect romantic retreat - so much so that we have lost count of the honeymoons, mini-moons and marriage proposals at the cottage. We already get regulars coming back for anniversaries of their special stays.

And all within 90 minutes of London and in the heart of the Cotswolds…!
