Firefly Cottage is a romantic single-storey hideaway resting on the Lower Mill Estate in Somerford Keynes near Cirencester, offering a woodburning stove, private courtyard, and access to shared swimming pool facilities.
Tucked within the gorgeous Cotswold Water Park, this well-presented bolthole is made for two, placing you in the heart of a nature haven with walks and trails almost from the door.
Step inside to the open-plan living space, where soft lighting and thoughtful touches create a relaxed atmosphere for unwinding after a day in the fresh air.
The woodburning stove becomes the natural focal point on cooler evenings, its gentle glow framing quiet conversations and unhurried suppers.
At one end of the room, the basic yet well-considered kitchen offers all you need to put together simple romantic meals, while the lovely breakfast bar looks out over the courtyard and neighbouring cottages, lending a bright start to each day.
When it is time to rest, a delightful king-size bedroom and a sleek shower room complete this easy, single-storey layout, giving you everything close at hand.
Outside, the courtyard area invites you to sit with a drink, listen to birdsong, and simply chill out; it can also be enclosed, making it a reassuring spot for any four-legged companion.
Days here can be as active or as gentle as you choose.
Follow estate paths through the Cotswold Water Park, pausing by the water’s edge to watch wildlife, or plan laid-back day trips to Cirencester and even Bristol for a change of scene.
With the wider Cotswolds and beyond within reach, Firefly Cottage in Ashford Keynes offers a wonderful base for discovering this special corner of the country.
