Christmas Cottage - pet-friendly in Tetbury

Christmas Cottage is framed by townhouses of Cotswold stone in the eclectic town of Tetbury. With its grade I listed market house, architectural treasures, antique stores and acclaimed restaurants, Tetbury is a Cotswold treasure.

This three-storey cottage is a treasure trove of delightful features with over two hundred years of history made evident by the original inglenook fireplace and occasional low beam. On the ground floor you'll find a charming living room complete with a wood burning stove, and a spacious kitchen-dining area apt for gathering with friends and family. A light-soaked bedroom and family bathroom can be found on the first floor, as well as a delightful landing with a window seat looking out to the garden, while on the second floor is an elegant second bedroom with views across the rooftops of beautiful Tetbury.

To the rear of the cottage, through the kitchen door and up six stone steps, is an enclosed and private rear garden arranged as a paved patio terrace on two levels. If you’re lucky enough to be at the cottage in May, simply wander outside the front door for a ‘ring-side’ seat at the passing Woolsack Races.



Ground Floor

Hallway:
Welcoming you inside is Christmas Cottage’s light and airy hallway, where there’s room for hanging coats and storing boots after long strolls through the countryside.

Sitting room:
Wander to your left and you’re greeted by a cosy sitting room complete with a crackling wood burner, soft furnishings and an abundance of natural light. With a serene feel to it, this spot is perfect for gathering with loved ones, flicking on a movie or reading a chapter or two.

Kitchen/dining room:
Whether settling down to morning brunch or an evening feast complete with fresh local produce, the kitchen is truly the heart of Christmas Cottage. A place to gather and connect with friends and family, there’s seating for four and all the essentials to keep you happy during your stay. We love the traditional stable door - pop it open on a warm day to enjoy the sounds of nature.


First Floor

Bedroom one:
Find sanctuary amid the peaceful surroundings of bedroom one which has a super king-size bed. A place filled with natural light, this serene spot is a place to rest, read and relax after a day exploring Tetbury.

Bathroom:
A light and spacious room, the cottage’s bathroom features a polished Cotswold stone floor and neutral tones, giving it a spa-like feeling. A bath with a rainfall shower, lozenge-shape wash basin and gleaming mirror sign off the room with finesse.


Second Floor

Bedroom two:
On the second floor is a double bedroom commanding great views across the rooftops to the mature trees along the Tetbury Trail. As the sun sinks across the Gloucestershire skyline, rest on the bed and pull out a book to enjoy the last few hours of the day in this charming spot.


Outside

Immediately outside the kitchen door is a covered passageway with storage space for walking boots and an outside tap for washing off any muddy paws. Wander up the stairs and you’ll find a circular table and four seats, a delightful spot to enjoy a morning coffee or al fresco dining. Outside the front door makes a lovely spot to watch the Gumstool Hill activity go by, and if you’re lucky to be there in May, you’ll have a ‘ring-side’ seat at the passing Woolsack Races. Whilst there is no allocated parking for Christmas Cottage there is free parking usually available on the hill.
