The cottage, steeped in history, is thought to be around three hundred years old and boasts a blend of traditional timber frame and Cotswold stone architectural styles.

The accommodations include a king-size bedroom with an en-suite walk-in shower, a double bedroom, and a twin bedroom—all offering ample storage space for guests' belongings. In the mornings, guests can luxuriate in a bath or refreshing power shower before brewing a cup of coffee using the Nespresso machine and heading to the enclosed garden at the front of the property. The garden offers peaceful views of the church down the lane and a charcoal barbecue for alfresco dining during warmer weather.
Situated on a quiet lane near the charming Church of St Lawrence, April Cottage serves as an ideal base for exploring the stunning landscape and quaint villages of the Cotswolds. Nearby destinations include Chipping Campden, where visitors can enjoy breakfast at Campden Coffee Co, take in breathtaking views at Dover’s Hill, and walk along the Cotswold Way—a 100-mile trail through picturesque countryside and historic sites.
