Spend leisurely days on the private tennis court, wander through your own woodland or gather around the fire pit as evening falls. Just a short stroll from the renowned Wild Duck pub, this is country living at its finest – and dogs are warmly welcomed too! The space Blackbird Cottage & Barn is a gorgeous luxury country home, new to Airbnb - awaiting professional photography. Only available for a few weeks this year - don't miss out! Set in the picturesque Cotswold village of Ewen, this exceptional thatched-roof country home offers a wonderfully private and luxurious escape for families and groups of friends. Sleeping up to 13 guests across the main house and a beautifully converted barn, it combines generous proportions and characterful interiors with all the ingredients for an unforgettable, quintessential, countryside stay. The main house is spacious yet wonderfully inviting, with an abundance of traditional character and thoughtfully styled interiors throughout. With five bedrooms and three bathrooms, there is plenty of room for everyone to settle in and make themselves at home. Generous living spaces provide the perfect setting for long, relaxed evenings together, while cosy corners offer somewhere to retreat with a book or a glass of wine. Across the garden sits the stylish converted barn, creating a beautiful and more private space for guests who appreciate a little separation from the main house. The barn has two further bedrooms – one double and one twin – together with ensuite, making it particularly well suited to extended families or groups of friends holidaying together. Outside is where this home becomes truly special. Set within its own beautiful grounds, guests can enjoy a private tennis court, explore the woodland or simply find a quiet spot to soak up the peaceful Cotswold surroundings. As the sun goes down, gather around the fire pit for drinks and conversation under the stars – the perfect end to a day in the countryside. The house is wonderfully suited to both relaxed weekends and longer escapes. Spend slow mornings over breakfast, challenge each other to an afternoon game of tennis, take the dogs for a walk through the woods, or head out to explore some of the Cotswolds’ most beautiful villages, restaurants and country pubs. Despite its peaceful setting, you won’t need to travel far for a memorable meal. The much-loved Wild Duck is just a short stroll along a picturesque bridle path away, making leisurely pub lunches and evening drinks an easy part of your stay, with notable The Tunnel House also a few villages over. Cirencester town is also just a short drive away, while the surrounding countryside puts the wider Cotswolds, including the Cotswolds Lakes and all the adventure they promise, within easy reach. Whether you’re bringing generations of the family together, escaping to the countryside with friends or celebrating a special occasion, this is a home designed for spending quality time together – with the space, privacy and beautiful surroundings to make your stay feel truly special. Dogs are warmly welcomed, so four-legged members of the family can enjoy the Cotswolds too! Guest access The entire property, Annex, and grounds are solely available for private guest use throughout their stay. Other things to note With so much to enjoy without ever leaving the grounds, this is a true destination in its own right. Play a round of tennis, enjoy drinks at the bar, fire up the BBQ, dine and relax outdoors, wander through the gardens and private woodland, or gather in the spacious kitchen designed for entertaining large groups. You could quite happily check in, switch off and spend an entire week here without needing to go anywhere at all.
