Alongside the River Coln lies the beautiful Cotswold village of Bibury, frequently described as "one of the most beautiful villages in England." Its archetypal ‘Shire-like’ quality attracts thousands of people every year to view the honey coloured houses and displays of blooming lavender and roses. Nowadays, many such Cotswold Cottages are now available on a self catering basis all year round.
Follow the river up Arlington Row which holds the history and heritage of Bibury as you wander past these old weavers cottages, home for the workers at Bibury's Arlington Mill. Each one has red roofs and a front of wonderful flowers. The Arlington Mill now houses a museum, illustrating the history of the Cotswolds and a collection of William Morris 'Arts and Crafts' memorabilia.
Couples seeking a relaxing Cotswold getaway can enjoy a stay at The Sycamore, a delightful romantic cottage near the historic village of Arlington, Gloucestershire, the perfect weekend retreat featuring plenty of natural light streaming from double-height windows, beamed ceilings, and wood floors.
