Thatch on the Green - Beautiful cottage near Soho Farmhouse. Pet friendly.

Hidden away in a corner behind the village green in Great Tew, Thatch on the Green is a beautiful cottage for your Cotswold holiday. You are greeted by its chocolate box exterior and quaint garden path which leads you into this traditional cottage filled with original features. Once two cottages, Thatch on the Green sleeps up to six with a quirky layout which lends itself perfectly to families or two couples. The living area has stone flooring and mullioned windows with a large fireplace housing the open fire. There are so many cosy spots to curl up and relax including a window seat looking out to the front garden and a sofa in front of the bookcase on your way through to the dining area. The dining table dates back to the age of the cottage and provides a lovely space to dine together. At the rear of the cottage is the compact kitchen, cloakroom and a boot room with laundry facilities.

The first floor is split between two staircases. From the dining area you reach the first bedroom with a king-size bed and bathroom, and from the kitchen is a double and a twin room which share a bathroom. This unique arrangement gives couples privacy and provides accommodation options for families. Each room has been carefully finished with décor in keeping with the age of the property which also adds a fresh and contemporary touch.

Outside, the large garden, which isn't overlooked in any direction, is the icing on the cake. To the rear is a paved area with a large table and chairs so you can enjoy your meals outside. You will see birds flitting to and from the nest tucked up under the porch roof. From here steps take you up to the back entrance which takes you to the private parking space. To the side of the cottage is a large, sloped lawn where you can spread out with a picnic and play with the children while enjoying the wonderful countryside views. It is fully enclosed making it perfect for your dogs.
