About Spring Cottage

For a romantic Cotswold getaway that oozes rustic charm, stay at Spring Cottage. Inside the one-bedroom nook, original low beamed ceilings, woodburner and mosaicked floors add to its country cottage character. It sits in the secluded, but pretty village of Snowshill, where signs of modern-day life are sparse. 

Just opposite the cottage is 16th-century Snowshill Manor House and Garden, where guests can enjoy complimentary entry during opening hours. Stop for a stroll through the grounds and a cream-tea before exploring the rest of the Cotswolds. Loop onto the Cotswold Way long distance footpath for walks into the surrounding countryside.  

Further afield, discover Stratford-upon-Avon, a historic town just a short drive away. Explore this riverside town, the birthplace of William Shakespeare, and get lost in its pretty medieval streets.

There are another three holiday cottages along the street – Diston's Cottage (sleeps two), Snowshill Honor's Cottage (sleeps three) and Snowshill Manor Farmhouse (sleeps nine). Multiple cottages can be booked together for a group of up to 16 and all are dog friendly.
