Guiting Power in the heart of the Cotswolds - was rated in 2008 by the Sunday Times as one of the top twenty most sought after villages in England and Wales.
Strawberry Cottage is a small honey coloured Cotswold stone cottage tucked away up a quiet no through lane within walking distance of the village square. The cottage faces south and overlooks an open field.
Guiting Power is a small vibrant village which has two pubs, two churches, a Post Office, a bakery and shop, a nursery school and a thriving village hall.
The cottage is a fantastic retreat at any time of the year, whether it is in the depths of winter, or the glorious summer. Within a four mile radius of Strawberry cottage there are no less than five thriving independent traditional village pubs. Just a short stroll by foot there are two excellent pubs in Guiting Power (the Farmers arms and the Hollow Bottom).
Winchcombe, Stow on the Wold, Bourton on the Water, Chipping Campden and Broadway are all within about ten to fifteen minutes drive by car. There are many local attractions including Broadway Tower, Snowshill Lavender, Snowshill Manor, Sudeley Castle at Winchcombe, the Cotswold Farm Park, and Naunton Downs golf course, again within ten to fifteen minutes drive.
Strawberry cottage is a good base from which to explore further afield - perhaps a visit to Stratford on Avon and Shakespeare country, or Cheltenham for the races and shopping. Locally there are many walks for you to enjoy in this area of outstanding natural beauty.
About 50% of the village is owned and managed by the Guiting Manor amenity trust a registered charity. It’s farming subsidiary Guiting Manor Manor Farms, farms about 2,000 acres and has won various awards for combining good sustainable farming with the conservation of wildlife.
