5 of us and a small dog visited this fabulous house in a fabulous location, perfect base for visiting many of the Cotswold towns & villages. Chipping Campden and Broadway only a short drive away.

Ebrington itself is quiet, just the superb Ebrington Arms (literally a 2 minute walk from property) in a lovely, unspoiled village. Not even a shop so make sure you have everything needed, although most basic things already in place at the well equipped Poplar House. Chipping Campden a 5-10 min drive where there is a small Co-op supermarket if you do forget something!

As with all our previous Bolthole Retreat bookings, a thoroughly enjoyable stay, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this property to anyone, 5 stars

This cottage is beautiful inside and out. We stayed for Christmas and decorated for us. Wonderful pub 2 minutes walk away good food and beers.
Beds very comfortable and bathrooms very clean. The only thing I could have wished for was a cheese grater in the utensils! Would definitely recommend and visit again.

Works really well for 6 people. Plenty of space, good sized bedrooms & all amenities one would need. Pub next door is good ( book early if you want to eat) & the Indian in Chipping Campden dores a great takeaway.

On the hole, the house was clean. Although, there were several long dark hairs in the downstairs bath & the bbq hadn't been cleaned after previous occupant. Facilities were excellent.

We have had a great long weekend. The house more than satisfied our needs and was well equipped and comfortable. The sitting room needs to be looked at in terms of seating and comfort and the addition of two comfortable chairs would be helpful - it does lack some ambience. Beds were comfortable and the bathrooms modern and very clean. It was a cold weekend and once the house was warm it stayed warm - the timing of heating for people using the house at this time of year could perhaps be reviewed. A great location and very convenient for local sights and walks. The local farm shop is a must for visitors and the Ebrington Arms is a great local pub right on the doorstep. A lovely base and home from home.

Who does this house appeal to? I cannot pin point exactly, however, I can share my experience.

Me being in club 35-45’s, my partner states that I am ‘extremely fussy & high maintenance’ when it comes to finding places to stay. My way of life is everything should be seen as an experience, I have a passion for homes & interior styling, I take this passion with me wherever I stay. My wife and almost 2 year old daughter were accompanied by another couple and a friend & her corgi. I couldn’t put another house before this having seen the layout, location and readily available spaces. You drive into a newly paved drive situated opposite a farm with meadows full of sheep. As soon as you step into the house, you’re greeted with information you’d scramble for before you can relax, all round preemptive details such as a child’s high chair & fold away cot were on demand, meaning as a parent to a small child you can eliminate a few stresses.

I’ve stayed in a number of diverse hotels, houses and members clubs, this truly felt like a getaway. The house extremely clean and fantastically managed, the property commands respect from each guest and sends out subtle reminders in each room/space to maintain high standards. I believe the property has been built well enough to evolve with time.

This recent stay has been a positive experience.

Thank you team and well done.

All 8 of us enjoyed our stay at Poplar House. The house is almost new and is well suited due to it having 3 shower rooms for 4 bedrooms (although the showers are all quite small). The house was warm on arrival and had everything we needed for our 2 night stay.
We had a couple of minor issues which we reported to the fantastic USP that is Hannah. We pinged her at around 10pm not expecting a response but 8 minutes later Hannah replied advising a workman would be on site at 9am the next morning. Tom arrived as planned and fixed the minor issues. Excellent customer service!
Only slight issue was poor wifi connectivity.
Would definitely go again as the location next door to the Ebrington Arms pub (good food) as well as ensuite walking in and around Ilmington and Chipping Camden provides epic views.
Also go to the Fuzzy Duck for dinner.

Whilst in a remote location in a small village of Ebrington, myself and my party had to travel everywhere by car.

The local pub was literally 3 mins away and vegetable shop 7 mins walk.!!!

I as the organiser found the beds to be low,cushions soft and I had hoped all the beds would at least be kingsize.

The house was tidy but we lost most of the day waiting to get in, at the 4pm arrival time.

We were only there for 3 days.

The outside had a lack of lights, so visually we couldnt see our cars and we had to use a torch to get to the car at night.

There was a mark on the ceiling downstairs, which could have been damp coming through

We have rented a property before and felt this was more basic than our previous house last year.

This is a wonderful well equipped cottage and was perfectly suited to our party of 7 adults. There are plenty of marked walks of varying lengths from the cottage and coupled with a Farm Shop/Cafe and Pub/Restaurant all with a few minutes walk, we found that we didn't need to use the car at all. I highly recommend it.

A lovely cottage in a pretty little village. Very comfy beds and well equipped. Great pub next door. The lawned garden is plenty big enough for the dogs to have a run around. There’s also a separate patio with table and chairs. We had a great stay and had no complaints. The showers are small with no shelf for shampoo etc but that didn’t detract from our enjoyment of the cottage.

So clean, comfortable and well equipped. Lovely to have the Ebrington arms so close. Just a bit noisy with traffic at times in the small yard space but nothing that detracted from our stay and we would certainly recommend to friends and family

Poplar House is part of a small development of holiday cottages built behind the pub in Edgerton. It was built to a very high standard with accomodation for 8 adults + a travel cot. We had a fabulous stay - beds were comfortable, showers great. Only issue was the lack of space in the kitchen: more than two adults preparing food was tricky.



Needs improvements!

The house needs improving internally, the living room looks like a caravan or similar to those stayed in holiday parks whilst on rugby tours with my sons. The lighting needs improving, a bigger coffee table, the clock is a waste of space and by the way does not work (none of the clocks in the house, including the oven clocks work). The showers are tiny - luckily we are all slim but I do not think a larger person could fit. There is no shelving in the bathroom to store cosmetic or wash items. The beds are comfy and bed linen is fine but the standard of items is poor, including the furniture in the rooms. There is no chest of drawers in the main bedroom, only one wardrobe.

The kitchen and utility are fine - just no egg cups and saucepans are quite cheap. I wondered if we were the first in the property as the counter tops would definitely stain after a while, esp tea stains.

The builders were still working on the 4th house and garages so I presume very new. The garden needs work and it would be a good idea to have a bench outside the front door along the wall as the sun is beautiful in the morning and a lovely place to sit with a coffee before the sun reaches the area with sitting outside the kitchen.

With all this in mind I am incredibly disappointed that we spent almost £2000 for 5 days - it was my Mum's 80th. I am not sure how you can charge so much for such a poorly equipped house.

Great stay for birthday weekend with friends. Right next to the pub!!!!
Some mugs were not clean in the cupboard. The water in the kitchen was scalding hot. All three blokes in my party struggled with the small shower units - not much space snd no shelves to put toiletries on.
The living room was freezing and took an age to warm up, with one radiator expected to warm a large room. That all said, despite the weather, we had a great stay in a well equipped house. Thanks

What a wonderful house, absolutely stunning. Excellent customer service bolthole retreats, we had to change dates because of covid. Bolthole went out the way for us, because the house we originally booked was booked was rented out on the day we required it they upgraded us to a bigger house next door. Superb service and excellent house.

Immaculate holiday house in an excellent location within easy reach of places like Chipping Campden, Stow, Moreton-in-Marsh etc. Fabulous pub on the doorstep and well-stocked farm shop with lovely cafe within ten minutes walk.
All bedrooms are a good size with nobody feeling short-changed on space. Lounge area lacks a bit of cosiness and a focal point - did not want to linger in here really, but otherwise very comfortable.
Highly recommended although a 10am checkout always jars after a lovely relaxing weekend - a bit of flexibility for a later checkout (even 11am would be appreciated!) would go a long way, particularly in low season.
We would return.

Everything about the cottage was just perfect for a family get together. So much space for everyone. No clutter. Comfy beds. Great kitchen space for everyone to be together - prepping food, cooking, chatting and playing games.
We were so lucky with the weather too and the outside patio was used for every meal!
Thank you

Poplar House is a brand new property in a small cluster of 3 on the edge of Ebrington. My wife and I stayed there for a week with 3 of our adult children and their partners so we had 8 adults in the house and we fitted in very comfortably. The property is literally next door to the village pub and within a few miles of some of the main Cotswolds attractions such as Hidcote Manor Garden (National Trust) and Chipping Campden. Both are within walking distance if you want to do so.

We were very impressed with this new build house, all high standard, very comfortable and great added extras like welcome pack, soaps, shampoo, massive family outside table with cushions:sun umbrella etc and all lovely views. Pub next door was a massive bonus and local farm veg shop and butchers was a fantastic find and good prices too! Great location also for visiting the Cotswolds and Warwickshire .

The location is brilliant - proper countryside on the doorstep and an award winning pub 30 seconds away (it was never noisy though, except for birdsong). The house was super clean and beds were comfy, but there were a couple of things that slightly marred our stay. The layout is a bit odd with the living room and garden completely separate from the kitchen and patio dining. So we never used them! The garden is weirdly bleak - just one little shrub or tree to soften it would go a long way. The internet signal was very patchy and weak - not good enough to watch TV some of the time. The acoustics in the house are such that small noises carried through the house. The lighting is all quite harsh/cold, which was ok for us in summer but for a cosy winter stay it would have been an issue. And this is nitpicking but the decor is all a bit grey/cold. Again it wasn’t a huge prob in summer but could make for a slightly depressing time in colder/greyer weather. Overall we had a great week but not sure I’d wholeheartedly recommend it.
