Anything but ordinary, May Cottage is a beautifully restored listed barn offering an indulgent escape in the heart of the Cotswolds. Tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac just moments from Bourton-on-the-Water, this characterful hideaway blends historic charm with thoughtful modern luxury.

Soaring ceilings, exposed stonework, and curated interiors create a sense of understated elegance throughout. Spend evenings by the crackling wood fire, enjoy cinematic nights in the private snug, or retreat to the romantic four-poster bedroom for deep, uninterrupted rest. Outdoors, a secluded terrace invites alfresco dining, while the surrounding countryside offers effortless access to Stow-on-the-Wold, Burford, Daylesford Organic, and a collection of award-winning country pubs.
