About Cricketers Cottage

Cricketers' Cottage is your dream country cottage. We would be surprised if you could dream up a place more perfect than the Grade 2 listed, 17th Century holiday home in the Gloucestershire village of Apperley, not far from the friendly Farmers Arms pub. From the oak beams to the original flagstone floors, and the rural location with perfect views over the countryside, it's no surprise that Cricketers' Cottage is so popular with families and friends. It sleeps ten people in five bedrooms, with guests loving how welcoming and spacious it is and that it's child and dog-friendly while still being large enough for a group of adults.

Apperley is a pretty country village five miles south of Tewkesbury. It's as picturesque as they come, with the surrounding landscape home to farms and equestrian centres. The region is a favourite with walkers, who love the beautiful scenery and wealth of walking trails, and also popular with anglers who fish nearby on the Severn and Avon rivers. Tewkesbury is packed with fantastic shops and businesses. There has been a regular market here for centuries, with current market days being Wednesday and Saturday. Tewkesbury hosts a farmers market on the second Saturday of the month, a food and arts market several times a year, and an annual Food Festival in the historic abbey. Whether you stay in for meals or dine out, you will eat well!

Your days can be as relaxing or adventurous as you are. Cheltenham is only 20 minutes away for shopping, lunch and a day at the races, and you're also close to the magnificent Gloucester Cathedral. The Cotswolds are on the doorstep, you're within an easy drive of the Malvern Hills, and the area is full of National Trust and English Heritage properties. No matter what the season, you won't want to miss the opportunity to stay at Cricketers' Cottage.

Location (Gloucestershire)

Accommodation Comprises:

The owner of Cricketers' Cottage is an experienced host and understands that her guests want to stay somewhere that feels special without being precious. Centuries of hospitality have seeped into the oak beams and brick walls, cocooning you with warmth and welcome as soon as you arrive.

Downstairs:

  • Huge picture windows frame glorious rural views and fill the living room with beautiful natural light. There is ample seating, a TV, and a bookshelf stuffed with reading material.
  • More gorgeous views transform the country kitchen from a place to cook into one where you can take your time making meals or relaxing at the breakfast table with a cup of tea or a glass of wine. A large modern range makes light work of preparing food for ten hungry guests.
  • The dining room, in the oldest part of the cottage, has a long refectory table. Oak beams and a cosy log burner are two standout features, as is the view over neighbouring fields. There are squashy armchairs near the fireplace, providing a second living area if the kids are watching a film in the other room, but adults want a bit of peace to chat. An oak staircase rises to the upper level.
  • A utility room has laundry facilities with a shower, and there is a handy WC on the ground floor.

Upstairs:

  • Bedroom One has a comfortable double bed, ample storage, rural views, and an ensuite with a shower, WC and hand basin.
  • Bedroom Two is another lovely double room with a sloping ceiling and original beams.
  • Bedroom Three is nice and spacious. It has a higher ceiling than other rooms and is furnished with a king-sized bed and has an ensuite.
  • Bedroom Four is under the apex of the roof, with a window overlooking the garden. Twin single beds sleep two people. Please note that this bedroom is located just off the double bedroom. You will need to walk through the double room to reach the bathroom.
  • Bedroom Five can be a single room with a full-sized single bed or a twin room with the addition of a smaller trundle bed appropriate for children or younger teens.
  • A family bathroom features a deep rolltop bath, walk-in shower, WC and hand basin.

Outside: Relax in the garden and enjoy extensive views over rolling fields. There is a BBQ and parking for up to five cars on the driveway.

Additional Information: Utilities, WiFi, bed linen, bath towels, two cots and high chairs are included. Guests to bring cot bedding and dog beds/blankets if they are are required. Both short breaks and longer stays are welcome.
