About this cottage rental
Shut yourself away from everyday life and step into this cosy hideaway. Sweetslade Cottage is made for taking time for yourself and relishing the glorious countryside that is all around you. Standing alongside meadows just off the Sabrina Way, the cottage nestles into its setting. With its honey-hued exterior and carefully styled interior, this is a welcoming getaway.
Filled with carefully curated furniture upcycled and reclaimed furniture, with local artists work on display, no part of Sweetslade goes unnoticed. Shutting away the outside world your comfort is a priority with exquisite linens and bedding sweeping you off to sleep. In the morning begin with a pastry or two and freshly ground coffee to start your day. If you're a late riser there is a TV and radio for gentle background noise to ease you into wakefulness.
Follow the passing walking route and you will find your way to a wildflower meadow and lawned garden. The meadows are mown with a path through the longer grasses and flowers, lay a blanket here and lose yourself in a novel. In the adjacent field you will find loungers, the perfect setting for chilled sundowners.
Ground Floor
Bedroom Suite:
Olive green panelling is the backdrop to antique furniture from France and Belgium, a Persian rug adorns the floor and there are treasures throughout. Within this space there are dedicated areas to suit all your activities. If you must catch up on work, set yourself up at the desk. Wrap up in the armchair to read and spread out on the very comfortable bed to drift away.
Kitchenette:
The kitchenette is perfect for continental breakfasts of pastries, chilled meats and freshly squeezed juice. There is a toaster, kettle and fridge with a small freezer compartment but please note there are no cooking facilities available.
Shower Room:
After a shower in the spa-like rainfall shower, wrap up in a provided robe to sip coffee at the breakfast bar.
Outside
Take advantage of the outdoor space by taking your breakfast to the bistro set on the paved terrace or meander to the meadows to stretch your legs. One has been left to grow wildflowers while the second is lawned with loungers and a table. A charcoal BBQ is available with a charming potting shed which has been furnished with a bistro set so you can enjoy a romantic meal together. Following the Sabrina Way which passes the front door, you can reach Clapton-on-the-Hill or head to Cold Aston for a pub dinner.

Sweetslade Cottage exceeded both of our expectations. There was private parking outside the cottage, which was lit up beautifully when we arrived. We walked in to music playing in the background and were blown away by the decor and cleanliness. There were so many added extra little touches that made it stand out from anywhere we have stayed before. Neatly arranged flowers from the garden were placed on the bedside table which looked beautiful. You really can see the effort that the owners put in to make it such a memorable getaway. We liked it so much that when we arrived home we wanted to redecorate our own house, as well as buy a new mattress, as the comfort at the cottage was next level. The bed was so comfortable that we had the best nights sleep in a long time. There is also lots to explore in the local area, it is extremely close to Stow-on-the Wold and Bourton on the Water, which are both beautiful little areas to visit. Burford is also a short drive away with shops and eateries along the historic high street and art galleries to explore. You can see a lot of the Cotswolds over a short weekend and still enjoy the cottage or if you have time book even longer. The weekend was such a memorable experience for us both, which we really enjoyed. If you want a lovely relaxing weekend away to recharge and explore the Cotswolds then Sweetslade is the perfect place .

My partner and I took a short trip to the Cotswolds and stayed at Sweetslade cottage. The cottage was beautiful with everything you could need for a short break. It was beautifully decorated and had all of the luxurious home comforts together with a few very welcome treats! The host could not do more to help and provided excellent suggestions for local walks and places to eat. Highly recommend!
