The property
Pear Tree Cottage is a beautifully renovated holiday home peacefully located in the rural hamlet of Cherington. Surrounded by the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Cherington is a quintessential English village with a village green and a parish church. Close by is the village of Avening, home to two well-regarded country pubs, and there is a lovely organic farm shop with a café just a five minute drive from the cottage. Cherington is perfectly placed for exploring the many pretty towns and villages of the South Cotswolds including Tetbury, Nailsworth, Malmesbury and Cirencester, as well as the spa towns of Bath and Cheltenham.
The cottage has been recently renovated by its owners to a high standard, with a mixture of vintage, antique and modern furniture. The stylish contemporary feel of the property is enhanced by character features including exposed wooden beams, stone mullion windows and two beautiful fireplaces, both with wood burning stoves. Modern touches include wireless internet access, a Freeview TV, a DAB radio and a spacious, well-equipped kitchen.
Pear Tree Cottage sleeps four guests, in two spacious bedrooms, with a stylish family bathroom. There is a pretty patio at the front of the cottage and an impressive garden at the rear, and on-street parking is readily available within the village. The cottage is the perfect retreat for a couple, a small group of friends or a family with older children looking for a relaxing break in the Cotswolds. Pear Tree Cottage is located in the quiet hamlet of Cherington. Accessed via a lovely patio garden, the front door opens directly into the spacious yet cosy living room.

From here, the garden continues through a gap in the stone wall to another well-maintained area which is bordered by flowers, grasses and a variety of fruit trees. This part of the garden descends to one last lawn area, a lovely tranquil space which provides stunning views over the rolling hills and Cotswold countryside beyond.
Free on-street parking is readily available close to the cottage and throughout the hamlet.
About the location
CHERINGTON
Tetbury 4 miles; Michinhampton; 2 miles
The Cotswold village of Cherington in Gloucestershire lies just 4 miles from Tetbury. This picturesque, albeit small village might not seem like much, but there is plenty to keep you occupied. Take a stroll down to the local pub, the Cherington Arms. It's a country pub that serves only the best pub food, in areas such as its dining room, garden, and patio, in addition to games such as Dominoes, Crib, and Aunt Sally. If you are searching for something slightly different, try Trudie's Tea Room. This lovely tearoom offers its customers a variety of cakes, scones, teas, and coffees. You can spend a fun-filled day at the Cherington Show with plenty of activities for the whole family, including kid's corner, animal corner, vintage tractors, tea tent, and much more. The Cotswold towns of Minchinhampton and its Golf Club are just 2 miles away, and Highgrove Gardens in Tetbury is only 5 miles away, making Cherington a perfect retreat.
Note: The maximum occupancy of the property, including its grounds, is four guests (including infants in cots).
Note: Regrettably, Pear Tree Cottage does not accept children under the age of ten years; though babes-in-arms are accepted and guests are welcome to bring their own travel cot and high chair, to accommodate one infant.
Note: As both of the reception rooms have wood burning stoves, children should be supervised at all times.
Note: The second floor of the property is private and is not accessible for guest use.
Note: The smoke and CO detectors operate on a sound only basis and, therefore, those who have serious impairment of hearing may not be able to hear the alarm systems and could be at risk.
