The Big Cottage Company

Welcome to your luxury, large-cottage holiday in the Cotswolds. If you’re part of a large group, our stunningly decorated and spacious Cotswold cottage with heated outdoor pool is perfect all year round.  There's space for 16 at Wellacres House and every conceivable luxury.  Even better, with the extra services we offer including our chef, pampering and country pursuits, there's everything you need for a family holiday enjoyed together, a weekend escape in the country with friends, a special occasion - be it an Anniversary or reunion - or a mid-week break.

You’ll find peace in abundance in our glorious, rural North Cotswolds location.  Your own Cotswold country house, nestled in a tranquil valley, set far away from the nearest country lane up a long, tree-lined drive. You’ll be surrounded by open countryside, big skies and wildlife, yet within easy reach of delightful local towns like Chipping Campden, Broadway, and Stratford-upon-Avon. And plenty of opportunities for country pursuits too.

Whatever the occasion you'll enjoy a stunning Cotswold property, mixing Cotswolds details with contemporary luxury. We believe some things simply make a holiday better - like space, comfort and plenty to do.  So you'll find a huge family room with a well-equipped kitchen, a dining table big enough to seat all your family and friends together, a stylish lounge area with log-burning fire, and a stunning, light-filled drawing room. Then there’s the sumptuous bedrooms and luxurious bathrooms – perfect for a relaxing break.  With seven acres to spread out in, a heated pool and private gardens, your large group can be as alone or together as you wish.

Your large Cotswolds cottage comes fully loaded for a great time - with a big range cooker, home cinema and Sky TV. There are terraced dining areas, barbecues and well-equipped kitchens.  For children, there’s a pool, a games room and a playground.  You’ll love the local gastro pubs, the country walks and the little extra touches that make these lovingly cared-for properties a welcoming home from home, like fires laid, cushions plumped up and breakfast hampers full of local produce.

You’ll also love the activities on offer, like country pursuits in a 45-acre Cotswolds estate just round the corner, pampering and children’s days out and in. Warwick Castle and the Cotswold Wildlife Park are close by.  You can take up as many or as few of the extra services on offer as you like - you may want us to arrange catering for a full-blown dinner party, order that special cake or just pick our brains on the area. You can choose.

Wellacres is a beautifully renovated Cotswolds Grade II house sleeping 16.   It is available all year round for week long holidays, weekend  and mid-week breaks.  There’s something for everyone on a Big Cottage holiday.  Whatever you’re doing, though, please respect your neighbours - our house is in a beautiful, peaceful location and not the right venue for music or late night noise.
