Live like a Lord…at least for a week or two

Just a hop, skip and a jump from the pretty town of Cirencester, The Palladian is large family home turned self-catering country house in the Cotswolds parish of Ampney Crucis.

Georgian in style and grand in nature with roaring fires, The Palladian has generous communal spaces, an indoor hot tub and an outdoor pool. It’s a country home that provides the perfect escape for multi-generational families or groups of friends who want to stay together.

Sitting on 15 acres of grounds, The Palladian is a house that is classically designed and rich in grace and comfort. Outside, the gardens are divine with sweet blossoms bringing early spring sugar pink colours. It just might be the perfect time to indulge in a quiet read by the pond or try your hand at stargazing under thick blankets as night falls.

Inside, the star of show promises to be light-flooded, open-plan kitchen-diner and of course, the six bedrooms with cloud-soft beds ensure sweet dreams for all. There’s also a  cozy cinema snug that gives parents an easy way to keep youngsters entertained when they’re not burning off energy on the tennis court or bouncing on the trampoline.
