3 Bedroom House in Ampney Crucis, Cirencester

Waterton Stables is an old house, full of character, having been the stable block/groom's cottage for the large manor house nearby, now converted into two dwellings - the 'cottage' for guests which is attached to the 'stables' end of the house where the owners live full-time. The interior is well furnished and comfortable, and has a unique character. Please note, it is not a 'modern' space, this would not reflect it's age or character, but we hope the photos provide an adequate reflection of this.
It is approached by a long drive, with fields on either side, leading to a large courtyard with ample space for parking.
Upstairs, the attached guest cottage has 1 double bedroom, 1 twin and a single bedroom. There is also a bathroom with shower and bath, and a separate wc. Downstairs is an entrance hall, sitting room with large flat screen TV, a dining area and kitchen overlooking the garden. There is also a utility room with washer, dryer, wc and shower.
Outside there are table and chairs, and 2 loungers for guests' use. There is also a swimming pool which can only be used at the owner's discretion; it is very close to the owner's end of the house, so we ask that guests use it for a short time, once or twice a day depending on weather and other use.
The local pub is a 5 minute walk away, and is perfect for an evening meal if you prefer to walk rather than drive. There are many wonderful pubs nearby, many with excellent food, and gardens with view for lovely summer suppers or cosy interiors with roaring fires. There are also many beautiful towns, villages and gardens to visit, and South Cerney, only 2 miles away, is great for swims, boating, etc.. It's a wonderful area for a break.

Summary: This beautiful residence is attached to the owner's property, which means that they are available as necessary, and take a keen interest in the welfare of both the house and the tenants. We felt very "at home" and the property had everything you could possibly need. Great for relaxing and cooking as you wish. Great location in the Cotswolds, walking distance to a very good pub "The Crown" that had Xmas special dinners at this time of the year. Also walking distance to beautiful countryside and just a few miles from Cirencester, the Capital of the Cotswolds. We have stayed in the Cotswolds many times, and this is our favorite VRBO to date. Highly Recommended

Summary: Perfect for a family of 4 or 5, the children loved the layout - great for hide and seek. Felt very homely and safe. Huge grounds, which we took a footy for. The pub is a short walk/bike ride and is very nice. Cirencester 5 mins in car away, great town, we visited Bourton on the water too which is 20 mins car drive. Gillie very friendly and left us to it. We really did have a cracking few nights here, home from home.

Summary: As a family with 2 teenage children, we were looking for a house in the countryside with three bedrooms and (ideally) a swimming pool as a base for exploring the Cotswolds and the neighboring cities of Bath and Oxford. The house met all our expectations: the bedrooms were well equipped and comfortable and the extra bathroom helped to keep our morning fights to a minimum. The kitchen was well equipped enough for our cooking needs, although it does not have a dishwasher (a fact we had overlooked when booking). There was a door leading to a lovely patio and garden where we enjoyed our morning coffee (thank you, English summer!). We were able to use the swimming pool by arrangement with our landlords Kevin and Gillie, who were extremely friendly and helpful during our stay. There isn't much to do within walking distance of the house, so we were reliant on our car most days - which suited our plans anyway. One tiny negative is the (faint) traffic noise from the nearby highway, but after a few days we almost didn't notice it when we were enjoying the garden and pool. Overall we had an excellent stay, this house is a great base for your expeditions to the Cotswolds.

Summary: Clean, comfortable and quiet cottage. Great location for exploring the Cotswold area. Visit Avebury for stone circles, Bibury trout farm & garden, Bourton-on-the-Water and Cirencester for shopping & dining/pubs. The Crown at Ampney, just down the road, for Sunday dinner-excellent! Take the train into London from Swindon or Kemble. We enjoyed our stay & highly recommend.

Summary: Converted stables was a fantastic 3 bedroom 2 bath place to stay southwest of the touristy area in the Cotswolds. The hosts are lovely; there's a friendly resident doggie, a pool, and lovely outdoor seating where we 4 enjoyed the drinks and snacks we'd purchased not too far away at the Waitrose. Thanks for a lovely time!!
