Honeybourne Manor, Evesham open image in gallery Honeybourne Manor, Evesham Ok, so it’s more massive manor house than cutesy cottage, but if you’re pushing the boat out with a bigger group for your very own festive holiday, this incredible 17th-century Jacobean pile would be a serious treat. The Summer House, Chipping Campden open image in gallery The Summer House, Chipping Campden While it’s fronted in warm red brick rather than golden-hued stone, the Grade II Summer House is still a thing of beauty, resembling a stately pile made miniature and set inside a Cotswolds pear and apple orchard. Tumbledown, Buckland open image in gallery Tumbledown, Buckland Tumbledown’s name belies quite how smart this historic cottage feels inside. The Lodge, Cirencester open image in gallery The Lodge, Cirencester If you want to combine Kate Winslet’s laid-back-but-bougie Los Angeles vacation with Cameron Diaz’s posh cottage vibes, try The Lodge, where pretty Cotswolds escape meets glam LA weekender.
