With us not being able to get into the next cottage until 4pm, we decided to have a look if there was anything of interest on the route. We found a National Trust property which sounded very impressive, and it certainly was! The property was Stourhead House and Gardens (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nationaltrust.org.uk\/main\/w-vh\/w-visits\/w-findaplace\/w-stourhead\/\">http:\/\/www.nationaltrust.org.uk\/main\/w-vh\/w-visits\/w-findaplace\/w-stourhead\/<\/a>). This was a house and parkland\/gardens built by the Hoare banking family in the 18th century. We didn\u2019t go in the house but the parkland, surrounding a lake, and gardens were stunning. We could have easily spent a full day there, well worth another visit if in the area again.<\/p>\n<p>The cottage we are staying in is near the picturesque village of Bourton-on-the-Water. The owners have a large house and three holiday cottages, all separate and with their own private sitting out areas overlooking the countryside. We even got some provisions in the kitchen; milk, coffee (proper!), orange juice, cookies, bottle of wine and a Kellogg\u2019s Variety Pack \u2013 very impressive! There are also two very fussy black Labradors who are always up for a play and stroke and keep guard on the properties! It is a very peaceful place to relax in.<\/p>\n<p>Looking forward to visiting lots of the little hamlets and villages in the area!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/192.168.1.12\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/WP_000262.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px\" title=\"WP_000262\" border=\"0\" alt=\"WP_000262\" src=\"http:\/\/192.168.1.12\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/WP_000262_thumb.jpg\" width=\"324\" height=\"244\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We left Devon and Greenway behind to travel up to the Cotswolds.
