Why we love it

The charm of the ancient Cotswolds cottage and surrounding hills, the big enclosed garden and a few treats to discover for both dogs and their humans


What you'll love

Dogs will love

  • Snuffling round the enclosed garden, with walls that will keep most dogs in
  • Discovering the treat jar
  • Walks right from the door into quiet countryside

Humans will love

  • Hunkering down together by the woodburner
  • Exploring the prettiest villages in the Cotswolds
  • Picking apples, plums and herbs from the garden

The place

Asphodel Cottage is the sort of calm, dreamlike place where you could spend a few days without really knowing where the time had gone. You could let an afternoon slide by lazing in the cosy lounge, soaking in the big roll top or foraging in the garden for apples, plums and fresh herbs to flavour dinner, and there’s a great dog-friendly pub 20 minutes’ walk away if you don’t fancy cooking at all. The surrounding countryside keeps the casual feel going, with gentle strolls in the Cotswolds and along riverbanks mixed with visits to the peaceful villages of golden stone that the area is famous for.

You should know

  • This is a traditional cottage that isn’t great for anyone with limited mobility. There are steep stairs, an uneven path, low door frames, a 'moat' around the property and low thatch
  • There is no shop in the village but there is a walkable pub
  • The garden walls and hedge will hold most dogs, but a determined runner could get free
  • Access to the garden is through the front door and round the side of the cottage
  • The cottage and garden are next to the road, so be mindful of wandering dogs

In the neighbourhood

  • Walk from the door: Turn right as you leave the cottage and head northeast along Sandpool Lane. Follow the footpath signs directing you towards the Wysis Way, then continue along the marked route to join the Monarch’s Way, once you come out by the Chapel, turn right head to the end of the lane, and turn right again.
