Introduction
Located in the bosom of absurdly pretty Burford, Little Scarlet offers a unique couples escape between the dreamy rolling hills and creamy stone cottages of the Cotswolds. When not exploring, candlelit-dinners in the private courtyard and deep soaks in the twinset of crimson red slipper baths are both highly recommended at this luxury self-catering home. After a day of countryside cavorting there'll be nothing cosier than retreating to the inglenook fire and unfurling on the sumptuous sofa.

Bedrooms and Bathrooms
Occupying the entire second floor is the cottage's pièce de résistance, two crimson red slipper baths poised in the middle of the bathroom just calling for the company of chilled Champagne and an evening in a haze of bubbles. The shamelessly romantic master bedroom with super king-size bed nestles in the eaves at the top of cottage, like a well-kept secret. 

Outside
Little Scarlet's alluring, rose covered courtyard is dinky but divine. Tucked outside the kitchen's French doors, it is the perfect place for weekending lovers to enjoy a glass of Bolly and a nibble on a selection of the finest local artisan produce as the afternoons drift into dusk. Be sure to pick up a wedge of Jersey cows' 'Burford' from the village for the cheeseboard! For adventures further afield, wildlife enthusiasts will love a trip to the Cotswold Wildlife Park, whilst history buffs may prefer to visit the birthplace of Shakespere at Stratford-Upon-Avon and catch a performance of an old favourite.

For Relaxation
A stroll through the cobbled streets of Burford, with its eclectic menu of eateries, antique treasure troves and wonderful selection of tearooms is a dandy way to pass the day. Meander along the banks of the River Windrush and challenge your beau to a game of Poohsticks from the three arched medieval bridge. Once you're ready to kick-back, head to the ivy covered Cotswolds Arms for a night cap, then home to climb the stairs to your seventh heaven.

Practicalities
There is parking on the road outside and there is also a free car park five minutes' walk away in the centre of Burford. The property is well-equipped with Smeg oven microwave, washing machine, dishwasher and fridge with freezer. Please note there is not a separate shower.

Place your Bets Horseracing fans will have the chance to get dressed up and dust off the top hat and tails for the annual Cheltenham Gold Cup held in March at the nearby racecourse. There are also plenty of other race meets throughout the season too if you miss the festival dates.

Get Wild The Cotswold Wildlife Park and Gardens exhibit over 260 different species of animals. Find the majestic Rhinos grazing in front of the grand manor house or catch a falconry flying display. If you fancy a chance to get up-close and personal, organise to be a keeper for the day, where you will get the chance to care for and learn more about your favourite species.  

To Be or Not To Be Visiting nearby Stratford-upon-Avon without seeing a production of Shakespeare would be like going to Rome and not visiting the Vatican City. The three theatre spaces are run by the world-renowned Royal Shakespeare Company and have witnessed performances by such legends as Lawrence Olivier, Judi Dench and Sir Ian McKellan. Experience a theatre tour, take a trip up the tower for stunning views and take lunch in the Riverside Cafe before enjoying a play written by the Bard himself.

Walking and Cycling There is no shortage of excellent footpaths, bridleways or country lanes in the area. The Wychwood Way is a historic 37 mile route from Woodstock to nearby Wychwood which runs through an ancient royal forest. It can be broken down into manageable routes to suit all abilities. 

Daylesford Foodies must take a trip to Daylesford organic farm to experience all they have on offer- which is alot! They host cookery classes, yoga workshops, florist courses and they also have a sweet cafe perfect for refuelling amongst the activities. 

Blenheim Palace A world heritage site and the only non-royal country house to hold the title of palace in England! Home to the 12th Duke of Marlborough and his family, the palace, gardens and park are open to explore. A host of events go on throughout the year from the Festival of Transport, outdoor cinema and the Summer jousting tournament to name just a few!
