This was our guest room at the Rectory Farmhouse in the previous photo. I love B&B's because they feel so much more like home - warm and inviting.  We stayed here on our visit to England after returning to the U.S.  This charming bed and breakfast, located in Lower Swell, was not only located near one of my favorite villages to antique shop, Tetbury, but was also a short distance to the town of Bibury with the most picturesque country walk.

This was our view of the Coln River as we arrive the village of Bibury located in the Cotsolds.  Of all of our walks and visits to small villages, Bibury was my favorite.  William Morrris, one of the leaders of the Arts and Crafts movement, described Bibury as "the most beautiful village in England".  This area is so tranquil and enchanting - I wish I were there today.

This is a photo of Arlington Row which was built in the 14th century.  This was originally a wool store and later became weavers'  cottages.
