Stable Cottage

Overview

Tucked away in the peaceful Cotswold hamlet of Ford, near Temple Guiting, Stable Cottage is a charming Grade II listed one-bedroom retreat made for those seeking a quiet escape.

Perfectly suited for romantic getaways, hidden countryside walks, and evenings by the fire, this characterful cottage sleeps two and invites you to switch off and unwind. Nestled on a small private estate, the cottage is full of rustic charm—expect exposed beams, uneven floors, quirky stairs, and a gorgeous inglenook fireplace for cosy nights in.

You’re just a short stroll from The Plough at Ford, a welcoming 16th-century village pub known for its locally sourced food, Donnington ales, and relaxed, dog-friendly atmosphere. Popular with locals, jockeys, and trainers from the nearby racing stables, the pub is a true hidden gem with a large beer garden perfect for a quiet drink in the sun.

This makes it ideal for those wanting to explore the countryside without the crowds. From the doorstep, enjoy scenic walks to the quiet villages of Cutsdean, Toddington, or Temple Guiting—places where time slows down and you can truly experience local life.

With its timeless charm and unspoilt surroundings, Stable Cottage offers the chance to pause, reconnect with nature, enjoy peaceful evenings, and explore the Cotswolds like a local—not a tourist.
