Enjoy a bijou and boutique break in the Cotswolds with Corner Cottage - a gorgeous, 17th century timber-framed holiday home with contemporary facilities that blend seamlessly with its Grade II listed charm. The cottage sleeps 3 (+1) across two bedrooms and has an immaculate modern kitchen and shower room, contrasted with the cosy living-dining room with the impressive, original inglenook making a grand statement.

Relax in the sunshine on the lawn and patio, with shade offered by the apple tree. There is adjacent off-street parking with the famous National Trust-owned Fleece Inn only a two-minute walk away. While Corner Cottage is within the ancient village of Bretforton, the modern and bustling Stratford-upon-Avon is within easy reach, as well as picture-perfect Broadway and the northern side of the Cotswolds.

The cottage was very small and the ceiling height is low, which made it a very uncomfortable stay for my husband who is 6 foot 5 tall. The lounge furniture is really uncomfortable and there were some areas where the room needed attention/decoration. We were only provided with 3 towels, so had to share the hand towel. There were no bins in the bathroom or bedroom which was annoying, especially as there was nowhere to put sanitary products in the bathroom.
We slept terribly as there were birds nests in the bedroom roof and a grill which meant the noise came straight into the bedroom.
We felt the cottage was overpriced for what we got, which was disappointing.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us on your recent stay at Corner Cottage. We're sorry to hear that some aspects of your experience didn’t meet your expectations. Regarding the size of the cottage and the ceiling heights, we do show photos on our website which show the beams and we state under the points of note "Corner Cottage is a 17th-century, timber-framed building. While it has huge character and charm, it is not suitable for everyone. The stairs are quite narrow and tight. The bedroom floors are very uneven. Ceiling height varies and is low in places. The bathroom ceiling and shower head are quite low and may not be suitable for taller guests". There is also a 3D tour and floor plan available to help guests get a good feel for the space before booking. We’ve passed your feedback on to the owner, who really appreciates you bringing these points to their attention. They are looking into the points you've raised about the bins in the bedrooms and bathroom, as well as the lounge furniture. They also mentioned that they would have been happy to provide extra towels and address the bird’s nests if you had reached out during your stay, and they’re sorry to hear you didn’t sleep well. The housekeeper has been informed about the towels, and arrangements are being made to check the nests in the roof. Additionally, the owner wanted to let you know that the cottage is currently being redecorated.

Lovely cottage in a fantastic location for easy access to surrounding areas, great pub in the village the Fleece food and drink excellent, It would be helpful if there where some leaflets left in the cottage detailing the surrounding villages and places of interest.

We’ve been to Corner Cottage twice and we’ll come back. It’s a lovely place, not huge but very well proportioned. Very comfortable for 4. Excellent local pub, the house is calm and everything works well.
Perfect break in the Cotswolds!

Wonderfully located in Bretforton, near the fantastic National Trust-owned Fleece Inn, it is well located for visiting Stow on the Wold and the other surrounding villages. Well provisioned, with comfortable sofas and beds, WiFi and TV with board games and books to hand, we would thoroughly recommend it. We would have liked it a little warmer, as the heating in the living room fell somewhat short of providing the comfort we were hoping for. An additional heater or radiator would have helped during the sudden cold snap that we experienced, and we hope the owners take this suggestion on board. Otherwise it would have been truly perfect.

(Not sure which way the likert scale works. 5 ito me is excellent all round.)Nicely furnished cottage in a lovely quiet location with parking. Comfortable sofas & bed. Nice cake as a welcome gift. Easy access with door code for self check in. Lots of nice gardens & houses to visit nearby. Great for hopping over county lines. Nice NT pub in the village & how nice to see a community run shop in the village that was well stocked run by lovely ladies.

The cottage was absolutely perfect for our recent stay, it is very well equipped and cared for.
We would be happy to return next time we are visiting family and friends in the area.
An added bonus is the Fleece which is always a go to during our visits for lunch or dinner and the local community shop is also very well stocked with any essentials you may need.

A 10 from the beginning to the end. The cottage is perfect for a chill week. It's very cozy and you feel at home from the moment you set foot in it. It's very comfortable and the location is perfect (Bretforton is a very nice village/community that we liked very much). We would love to come back soon!

We had an amazing weekend in Corner Cottage. Tucked in a very pretty village, we followed the easy instructions on parking and getting in. The cottage is really quirky and beautiful. Lovely furnishings, well equipped kitchen, great shower and comfy bed. We strolled to the Community Shop which has all the things you might need for your holiday although there was milk, tea, coffee etc and some delicious Battenberg left for us. I had booked a table at The Fleece literally two minutes away for Friday night. The pub itself is fascinating. Dog friendly. Lovely beer garden, efficient friendly staff and perfect for that summers evening. The food was excellent- reasonably priced and a good choice on the menu. We actually booked again for the Sunday (I do advise booking to avoid disappointment- they were busy all the time). Then we went to the Social Club (also dog friendly) and they were really friendly and welcoming so we stayed there for a while and would have returned if we had found time. We would absolutely recommend staying here and I am hoping that we will return again soon.

Our first stay at Corner Cottage using Bolthole Retreats was as usual excellent, we have used Bolthole many times in the past.Corner cottage was everything we needed for a holiday in the beautiful Cotswolds. Bolthole are very easy to deal with and nothing is too much trouble. The only thing I would bring to the cottage owners attention is that in the kitchen the addition of a microwave and maybe a frying pan would make the whole breakfast experience perfect. Definitely be booking Corner Cottage again in the future.

The cottage was just perfect for our four days away in the Cotswolds. The cottage had everything we needed and was decorated sympathetically with very good quality finishes (particularly the bathroom). The information booklet was also extremely helpful and the local area was very easy to get to. We went to a lovely pottery making class with Honeybourne Pottery and visited Broadway one of the days which was also lovely. Would highly recommend a stay. The village also had a gorgeous pub just minutes down the road with very friendly staff and amazing food!

We had a lovely relaxing stay. The cottage was well furnished and equipped. The area is very quiet and within easy reach of the Cotswolds. Maybe consider enclosing the small front garden to protect dogs, as you permit pets.

Wow, what a wonderful cottage with everything we needed for a few days away. Set in the old part of the village surrounded by equally beautiful cottages, church and The Fleece pub. We enjoyed an evening of folk music at the pub where we found everyone friendly and welcoming.

My husband, our 2 young girls and I loved our stay at Corner Cottage. Immaculately clean, very comfy beds, towels, sheets and in a lovely part of Bretforton. Great shower, quiet, full of character cottage.

There were a few things absent though and for the sake of other travelling families, I list them here as when staying a week with children, it could really do with these additions: no kitchen roll or cling film, 4 dishwasher tabs for a 7 night stay, only one tea towel, only one bathroom hand towel, no drying wire or line/pegs so everything must be tumbled, like it or not, no cooking oil, cheese grater, baking tray, shower slip mat, microwave or bin bags. For an otherwise well-equipped cottage, these were surprising oversights which hopefully will be sorted by the owners.

Thank you.

Thank you for your review and feedback. We have passed this on to the owner who will review your points raised. We're sorry you could not dry your clothes outside, unfortunately, this is due to the tiny garden. Again due to the size of the kitchen there is not a microwave as it would take up worktop space. The owner has asked the housekeeper to check if the grater has gone missing and also to check that there are enough supplies of other items.

The location of the cottage is very good, with the Fleece Inn being only thirty seconds walk. Although the cottage is old, the recent refurbishment has been done to a high standard and it provided a lovely base for our family and dog.

Generally a nice stay but we did walk in to around 20-30 lice as we entered the cottage. Some dead, most alive. Some in the bathroom, on the curtains but most in the kitchen.

We contacted the owner who apologised.

Overall the cottage was nice, mostly clean (dusty in parts) and nice and quiet (if that’s what you want - we did).

Initially Corner Cottage appears wee, but once settled in it was cosy, comfy, well laid-out and all we needed for a very chilled stay. The bedroom is large, airy and has an excellent bed. The kitchen was all we needed to enjoy home-cooked meals using local farm produce. Snuggled on the sofa in the characterful living room was restful. The location is great. The Fleece Inn worth a visit and walks, cycle-rides and lovely Towns all accessible.
