Katsura House - Luxury Cotswolds retreat in Kingscote, Gloucestershire
Tetbury, Gloucestershire
About Katsura House
Tucked away in Gloucestershire, Katsura House is a beautifully appointed self-catering property that makes it genuinely easy to switch off. Among the standout features: a private hot tub, a wellness suite, a freestanding roll-top bath, an open fire, and a private tennis court. It's particularly popular for celebrations and special occasions. Whether you're planning a romantic escape, a gathering with close friends, or simply a chance to recharge somewhere lovely, this is the sort of place that gets the balance right.
The standard of finish here is high — Luxury Cottages curates only properties that meet a serious quality bar, and Katsura House is no exception. Expect thoughtful design, quality linens, and the kind of attention to detail that means you spend your time relaxing rather than hunting for a spare blanket.
Sleeping Arrangements
Katsura House is set up to feel like a proper home rather than a rental — the kind of place where guests tend to stop apologising for 'making themselves comfortable' because everything genuinely encourages it. Bedrooms are well-dressed with quality mattresses and bedding, and the layout works whether you're a couple after total privacy or a small group wanting shared space.
A cot is available for younger guests, making this a great option for families with a baby or toddler.
Inside Katsura House
Inside, Katsura House has a well-stocked kitchen with everything you'd expect for self-catering — hob, oven, dishwasher, and plenty of worktop space for proper cooking. The living areas are comfortable and well-proportioned, and the bathroom features a freestanding bath — great for a long soak after a day out. The open fireplace makes the living room cosy year-round.
Wi-Fi is included, and the smart TV means you've got streaming covered for evenings in. The practical stuff — washing machine, tumble dryer, iron — is all there when you need it.
Outdoor Space
The private outdoor space is a proper asset — not just a patch of grass but somewhere you'll actually want to spend time. There's a gas BBQ ready for use, and the countryside views make even a morning cup of tea feel like a small event. Parking is private and off-road.
Guests consistently rate the outdoor space highly. The tennis court is a genuine bonus for those who fancy a knock-around. It's the kind of setup that makes you regret not spending more time outside.
Tetbury & Gloucestershire: What to See and Do
Tetbury sits at the heart of the Cotswolds AONB, a classic English market town of honey-stone buildings and independent shops. It's the nearest town to Highgrove, King Charles's private estate, and antiques are a local obsession. Westonbirt Arboretum, home to one of the world's great tree collections, is just three miles south. Cirencester, Cheltenham, and the Cotswold Water Park are all within easy reach.
The property's location in Gloucestershire puts you within easy reach of everything the area has to offer — from local producers and good pubs to longer drives into the wider countryside.
