About this property
Beautifully presented, The Gables is the perfect setting for families and friends to get together for that special celebration or to spend quality time exploring all the Cotswolds has to offer.
Featured in the March 2024 edition of Period Living Magazine, this picturesque, Grade II listed Cotswolds stone house occupies a prime position within the pretty village of Honeybourne in Worcestershire, perfectly positioned betwixt Shakespeare's Stratford-upon-Avon and the beautiful Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Bursting with character and period features, professionally designed interiors and furnishings blend seamlessly with original beams, mullion windows and exposed brickwork, transporting its guests back to a bygone era of elegance and class. Meanwhile careful consideration has been paid to ensure this handsome property is also fully equipped with every 21st century comfort.
On entering The Gables, a spacious and well-equipped modern kitchen provides everything you need to make meal preparations a joy. The dining area is fully open to the kitchen and dominated by a stunning inglenook fireplace with a cosy wood burning stove and comfortable armchairs, ideal for relaxing with a glass of wine whilst dinner is cooking. After a fireside dinner, wander through to the charming sitting room with a second wood burning stove and inviting soft furnishings including a pretty cushioned window seat to quietly watch the world go by. Or, escape to the stylish, tartan themed snug with its own window seat and more comfy sofas. A small utility room leads through to a ground floor family bathroom. Central to the house is a steep, wide staircase, with narrow tread, to the first floor and four tastefully furnished bedrooms and four shower rooms. Each bedroom has been individually decorated to complement the style of the house and offer a peaceful and calm space.
Outside, a large driveway provides parking for up to three cars and the lawned garden at the rear includes a patio and garden furniture for enjoying the summer months.
Honeybourne, a small and pretty village, is ideally situated just five miles from Chipping Campden in the Cotswolds, and only 12 miles from Stratford-upon-Avon, birthplace of William Shakespeare and home to the Royal Shakespeare Theatre. The village has its own pub within walking distance and a railway station with a direct line to London and other Cotswolds destinations including Moreton-in-Marsh, Kingham and Oxford. With so much to see and do, you will be torn between exploring the area; or just putting your feet up enjoying the peace and warmth of The Gables.
The Gables can be booked as a sleeps 6 option.

Such a beautiful home to celebrate my mums 80th birthday with all the family. The house has been lovingly updated to include quality furnishings throughout. Very comfortable beds and having en-suites to all the bedrooms is a real plus. The garden is spacious and we managed to use the garden furniture to enjoy some rays of sunshine. All in all a wonderful place to stay and explore the Cotswolds. One very important feature that it does need is hooks to hang towels and dressing gowns in the bedrooms and in the kitchen as tea towels etc need to dry out.,and perhaps a larger fridge rather than 2 freezers. Apart from that it was perfect and I would thoroughly recommend staying here.

Posto incantevole, cottage bellissimo, comodo e spazioso, lâunica cosa negativa è che la macchina Nespresso vertuo non ha cialde compatibili in vendita nei supermercati, quindi o dovrebbero far parte della dotazione, oppure meglio mettere una Nespresso classica che consente di acquistare le cialde con più facilità . SOGGIORNO FANTASTICO!
