Alcoves

Nestled on a working dairy farm in the heart of the Cotswolds, Alcoves offers a wonderfully peaceful escape where nature, comfort and thoughtful design come together beautifully. Hidden among a row of ancient oak and lime trees, these two handcrafted cabins sit within sheltered woodland bays overlooking rolling pasture where Jersey cows graze quietly against a backdrop of idyllic Cotswold countryside.

Designed to feel completely immersed in the landscape, both The Blue Cabin and The Green Cabin offer a cosy and restorative retreat for two. Inside, each cabin combines rustic charm with understated luxury. Large windows frame calming countryside views while warm wooden interiors create a welcoming atmosphere throughout the seasons. Light the logburner on chilly evenings, curl up beneath soft Piglet bedding or brew fresh coffee from Ritual Coffee Roasters before settling into the slower pace of rural life.

The fitted kitchens are equipped with everything needed for relaxed self-catering stays, including a stove, fridge, toaster, kettle and Moccamaster coffee machine. Guests are also welcomed with thoughtful local provisions including sourdough bread, local eggs, fresh Jersey milk from the farm and butter from Netherend Farm, making mornings here feel especially indulgent.

Step outside and the experience becomes even more magical. Each cabin has its own private outdoor sunken bath that can be enjoyed hot or cold depending on your preference. Begin your morning with a soak after a sauna session or spend evenings beneath star-filled skies beside the crackling outdoor fireplace. There’s also a shared private sauna between the cabins, complete with a large picture window overlooking the surrounding fields and rolling hills.

Alcoves is designed for guests wanting to reconnect with nature while still enjoying modern comforts including electricity and WiFi. The setting encourages slower living, with wildflower meadows, woodland paths and grazing cattle all contributing to the deeply calming atmosphere.

When you’re ready to explore, the surrounding Cotswolds countryside offers fantastic walking routes, including scenic rambles over Stanton Hill. There’s also a tennis court tucked behind the woodland for leisurely afternoon games, while nearby villages and traditional country pubs provide the perfect excuse for long lunches and cosy evening drinks.
