The original Carriage and Coach House, dating from 1760, makes a perfect Cotswold holiday house sleeping up to 11 (and seating up to 24).

The main entrance, next to the tennis court, opens into the spacious 30ft living room. Wonderful for a big family-gathering this welcoming room, awash with light, has two long refectory tables and a cosy wood burner. Altogether a fabulous entertaining area, with the adjoining kitchen well-equipped with a Belfast sink and steel range for the cooks in the party.

Upstairs, the five bedrooms and three bath/shower rooms make the Coach House is ideal for celebration house-parties.

• One king size zip & link bed with en-suite shower
• One twin room and One 4ft 6in double room share the family bathroom
• A Family bedroom with 5ft double and 3ft single bed and TV, interconnects to another bedroom with 4ft 6in double bed and shower room.

A sheltered courtyard garden with tables and chairs is ideal for an aperitif or an al fresco lunch.
