About
Just a stones throw from Bibury, right in the heart of the Cotswolds, Pear Tree Cottage is an idyllic spot to totally unplug and unwind from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It’s easy to spend days at a time indoors with a cup of coffee and a great book, since this wonderful, eco conscious cottage has such a magical sense of relaxation to it.
With organic cotton bedding, eco household products and toiletries and natural fabrics, this much-loved home transports you back to the romance of country living. If you’re looking for a real Cotswolds experience, Pear Tree Cottage certainly delivers.
At the rear of the cottage they have constructed their very own garden spa bathroom from cedar and oak, based on the Japanese onsens that Pear Tree Cottage’s owners absolutely adore, which looks out onto a secluded Japanese inspired courtyard.
This absolute gem of a cottage is a wonderful 400 year old original stone farmhouse full of huge wooden beams, gently curved stone walls and stone mullioned windows. Simply sit back and relax, after cooking up your favourite meals in its fully equipped farmhouse kitchen. Pear Tree Cottage can sleep 4 adults and 1-2 children.
