Recently converted self-contained apartment with garden in Cotswold village

The Space:

Double bedroom, en suite shower room, fully equipped kitchen/living room with sofa bed, courtyard garden. WiFi, underfloor heating, freesat TV. Bed linen and towels are provided. On-drive parking is available for two vehicles.

The property is adjoined to the owner's family house, but is completely self-contained with its own access. There is space to store bicycles securely (behind a locked gate). To the rear there is a small, private courtyard garden.

The property is compact but well-equipped and newly decorated and furbished throughout. Everything is new and clean: the conversion was completed in 2016. It will sleep two comfortably. There is also a double sofa bed which will sleep a further two people, but floor space is very limited when the sofa bed is extended, and please be aware that access to the shower room is through the bedroom.

The Studio is self-catering, but breakfast provisions (milk, cereal, granola, porridge etc) as well as coffee and tea are provided.

Babies and children of all ages are very welcome.

The village of Poulton has a shop, a well-equipped children's park, a church and a fantastic dining pub, The Falcon Inn, which is renowned for its quality food (booking for dinner, particularly at weekends, is advised, as they are often fully booked in advance). Poulton is also home to Performance Cycles (cycling club), and the area is very popular with cyclists at all levels.
