Instantly recognisable by the original water pump in the front garden, High Pump Cottage is a gorgeous 17th-century Cotswold abode for four, in the pretty village of Ebrington. Surrounded by the rolling hills of the ‘wolds’ this is a walker’s paradise with footpaths leading in all directions. Filled with character and charm and plenty of original features, High Pump Cottage also boasts dreamy interiors, a wood-burning stove and a secret garden room, where you can relax, listen to music, or perhaps put pen to paper for your first novel, with this lovely escape as your muse. The highly regarded village pub is but a meander away.
