We’ve been waiting to have a huge family trip since, well, forever and I am so pleased that it happened at Kington Grange! The whole run up to the trip and contact with Phil and Susan was great, they helped cater to our every need. My family knew they were in for a treat after seeing the stunning photos online, but my god were we blown away in person. Every room of the house and barn had its own theme and character. There was an area for everyone, of all ages, to relax and have fun. Space for chill time but to also be together as a group of 20 and not feel suffocated. It was gre...more
Cosy comfortable family cottage. Well stocked (kitchen, fire place, bath)! Kept clean and well presented. The location is just perfect - equidistant to Bath, Bristol and Cirencester, for someone who is looking for a long stay and have access to various spots to visit with family!
Perfect Full moon Great walks Bedding and towels delicious a happy place to hide for a few nights
We just love this place, it is perfect for our annual family gathering with all our dogs. Staff are lovely and grounds beautiful. Definitionally hope to return
We were very sad to leave this lovely cottage. We especially loved sitting in the little garden, walking in Wychwood forest, enjoying the amazing atmosphere and food at The Bull down the road, and day trips to nearby Blenheim and Oxford. I will be recommending this cottage to friends and family and hopefully returning soon. Thank you so much!
The lodge is equipped with everything you might need, the Information Booklet was the best we have seen and very helpful. Thoughtful gestures provided, tea, coffee, milk, orange juice, charcoal for bbq, hand wash and even fresh flowers. Property is secluded and very tranquil, beautiful forest walks on the doorstep, yet has everything you need like shops and takeaways within a few miles radius’s. Hot tub was an added bonus and fully enclosed garden was peace of mind for the dogs. We will be back that’s for sure.
A stunningly beautiful place - like living for a few days in an enchanted landscape. Absolutely loved it
Very enjoyable stay. Comfortable and well equipped. The views from the 3 tiered garden were lovely. Good parking . Well placed for visiting our long list of must see places.
We really enjoyed our few days here and it was a great base to explore the Cotswolds. The house was very comfortable and welcoming. One issue was It was difficult to manage our dog in the garden from wanting to explore further afield! Some containment would be helpful and a little more privacy. Overall a lovely place.
We had a wonderful weekend stay here (7 adults, 2 teens and 3 kids). The place is absolutely incredible. Well furnished, really well equipped (it had a massive slow cooker as well as a toaster maker, wine fridge, etc etc) and was well stocked on arrival (sausages, bread, milk, fruit, bread etc). And every morning fresh pastries and bread delivered to our doorstep! Well situated (we visited rollright stones and crocodile world) and our kids loved the farm animals right outside and visited the goats every day. The teens had their own space in which to quietly retreat and the adults had a good ch...more
It was in a beautiful situation in the middle of Charlbury Tastefully decorated and fully equipped Fantastic
My partner and I stayed here for the weekend and couldn’t fault our stay. We’ve stayed in many shepherds hut before and this was by far the biggest and best one we’ve stayed in! The location was also beautiful and in good walking distance to the local village. A wonderful weekend!
I stayed at Lake Cottage to celebrate my Mum's 60th birthday. The property was spotless and so well equipped. We all commented multiple times on how the owners had gone above and beyond to fill the cupboard with everything you could need for a short break. The building itself is stunning and in a picturesque location. Not to mention the friendly pig on site who was a family favourite. I would highly recommend staying at Lake Cottage. We will be looking at booking our next staycation there shortly.
Beutifull Cottage, spotlessly clean, great location just a few miles from Chipping campden. very Cotswold with very authentic experience. Selina was so helpfull Will stay again Regards Sean
Pineapple Spa Cottage was a gem of a find. We had a fantastic week staying at this beautiful cottage in the heart of the Cotswolds. We will definitely be back.
Stone Cottage was a beautiful place to stay for our visit to the Cotswolds! The view from the upstairs window was dreamy. The sound of horses walking up and down High Street transported us to another time. Stanton is a quiet, peaceful village in pristine condition with a classic pub at the end the road. The cottage was authentic yet nicely modernized and decorated. The kitchen had everything you need to cook a nice meal. We appreciated having outdoor patio space to enjoy the warm weather we had during our stay. We recommend that Bolthole Retreats provide a few more supplies — like dishwasher ...more
Absolutely amazing. The house is superb. It’s surrounding speechless. Really the best place for a nice relaxing weekend. We will come back !!
Just spent 4 nights at Gras Lodge. Property very clean, comfortable and well equipped. Well located for the Cotswolds. Visited Tewkesbury, Cheltenham and Worcester which were all within a 40 minute drive. Had fabulous weather during our stay so made good use of the outdoor area. Would recommend.
We had an excellent stay at The Bellhouse , Our hosts Louise & Deane were amazing too , Great vintage house , lots of beautiful Countryside surrounding it too. A Great escape ……
The Little Coach House is perfectly located in a lovely village with everything you need within walking distance - The Talkhouse pub serving excellent food, especially the vegan pie! ; great village shop and excellent farm shop - plus beautiful country walks, yet only 10 mins from the Thornhill Park & Ride for easy access to Oxford and all the city has to offer. The cottage is lovingly and thoughtfully maintained by Carla and her team with all one could need for a comfortable stay plus welcome goodies including fresh milk from their farm shop - we felt at home immediately, a fantastic place t...more
A fantastic cottage in a beautiful location. We had an amazing stay and I would definitely recommend this property.
The review - does anyone want to add or change anything? Lodge Barn was ideal for our family, with plenty of bedrooms and numerous en-suites which were very welcome and afforded multiple families some privacy. The room with the pool table was used during the day and evening. It was an ideal area for the children’s games console - the adults socialised here too. The kitchen was well stocked. The large fridge was fantastic plus two dishwashers. The BBQs on the patio area meant we could enjoy an outdoor meal on a sunny evening. We visited the Taurus Craft Centre, Chepstow Castle and some ...more
From the moment you arrive, until you wave a sad goodbye ( as you will definitely not want to leave) Groves Barn does not dissappoint. A beautiful location, surrounded by a stunning landscape and close to plenty of charming villages Highly recommended!
Family weekend for birthday celebration enjoyed be all in a peaceful area. Plenty of space in property and garden to chill or gather together. Our parties ages ranged from 8 - 82 and was suitable for all. Made use of the games room and hot tub. Enjoyed a stroll to the local pub for lunch. Would recommend to others who are looking for a relaxing time with friends/family.
We have had the good fortune to spend the last 3 months in this beautiful cottage with stunning views over the garden and rolling Cotswold countryside beyond. The perfect temporary home for us - clean, warm and peaceful. The owners have been amazing and so very helpful. I would not hesitate in recommending this as a place to stay.
Excellent experience overall. Booking, arrival, stay & departure all went extremely well. We loved staying in this house, very well thought out design, spacious, glorious decor, great location ( in the centre of Fairford village). Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend Bolthold Retreats and this gorgeous house to anyone.
Great location. Had everything we needed. Stayed with my 3 sisters and my 4 month old daughter. They even provided a travel cot and high chair without being asked. The kitchen diner was so light and a great area to chat and eat, whereas the living room was cosy- so there was a lovely balance to the communal areas. Location wise was also great for us as it is in a quiet residential area, but omly a 10 minute walk to the centre. We have a super weekend
We had a great time in this beautiful house, which was perfect for our work activities. We utilised the dining room and spacious table as our shared workspace, and spread out over the plentiful space through the house. All bedrooms well appointed, and good showers and an amazing kitchen. Short 20 min walk to the heart of Stonehouse and the excellent La Campagne restaurant. The only slight downside was the bumpy part of the private road down to the house, but once you are there you never need to leave, as home shopping delivery and takeaways had no issues find the house.
We had a lovely time staying at Teagles Cottage! Our son has autism and Lindsay was so very helpful in making everything seamless, which helped him settle quickly. You'll want for nothing as all the essentials and more are provided for. The location is central to Stow and parking really handy. We were a party of four adults and one child, loads of space for us all in such a homely cottage. Thank you again for an amazing time!
The Hayloft at Bolthole Retreats was such an incredibly lovely property to stay during a friend's wedding in the Cotswalds. It is kept up very nicely with clearly updated amenities. This particular cottage would be perfect for a family with young children as it even has a great yard space with a play structure! The entire property was absolutely stunning and just a short walk into town. I highly recommend it!
Such a beautiful cottage, with everything you could think of needing plus so much more. Every detail was thought out and so pretty. We didn’t want to leave! I’m now trying to think of a reason to book again.
This is called a retreat and it really is. We arrived exhausted from work and left feeling completely revitalised. We are two mamas and a toddler. The bedrooms are MASSIVE. The cot was perfect for our 2 year old (the sides were super high which put our minds at ease) and the high chair was really easy to use and wipe clean. We had fun giving her a bath each night. It was beautiful. The moment we walked in we were hit with the most incredible fresh smell and greeted with homemade scones, fresh butter and local jam. We even sourced the hand soap and had it waiting for us when we got home...more
A fine place to stay in the Cotswolds. Beautiful location and the house is luxuriously fitted. Only points to note are the fact that bedroom 3 really is for kids not adults ( this is actually clear enough in the details) and that you may need to buy extra paper products ( toilet roll and paper towels) during your stay.
A very clean and tidy cottage in a lovely quiet rural location. The property manager was really pleasant and helpful. The only thing lacking was a little freezer
Lovely cottage. Spacious main room; comfortable bedrooms; good bathrooms; beautiful area; and a fabulous private tennis court. Great bolt-hole! We loved it and plan to return.
We stayed for 2 nights and had a wonderful weekend. The barn is beautiful and well equipped, the location is remote but easily accessible and provides a lot of privacy. Next time we would book for a longer stay as there’s so much to do and discover.
Absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful property. The house and pool were amazing and a great place to catch up with friends.
Our large group stayed at Barebones Farm and were very pleased with the accommodations. It’s a lovely property with a beautiful garden and well-appointed rooms. The conservatory was a particularly inviting place to relax. Our only regret was that our hectic schedule kept us from fully enjoying everything the property had to offer. Liz, the owner, was more than willing to satisfy our requests and bent over backwards to make sure we had everything we needed. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay at BF again.
We thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend at the Stables, it had everything we needed and couldn’t have asked for more. Matthew was a great host and made sure we were comfortable and was easy to contact if we needed anything. The location is great, peaceful and quiet, and only a short journey into Bath. We had a good couple of days exploring, going into Bath (we booked a taxi for the short journey which was really simple), we did the river boat tour, followed by Sunday lunch at the Bathwick Boatman, which was lovely and we managed to avoid the rain, it was a great day! We also visited Dyrham park...more
It is a lovely property in a good location for visiting many tourist attractions. It was clean and well equipped. There was plenty of outside seating and a big garden. Possibly not suitable for people with mobility issues.
Beautifully extended and renovated cosy thatched cottage. Quality and tasteful. Perfect for eating/drinking at the Fleece Inn a few yards away. Easy reach of Cotswolds main attractions.
This home was everything we needed - a great base to explore the area and a relaxing haven to return to each day
House was beautiful, just like the listing photos which is always a relief. Perfect size for a large group of multiple families (we were 9 with room to spare) and the location was perfect for exploring this part of the Cotswolds. Bedrooms and bathrooms large and beautifully furnished, garden was stunning (probably not too well suited for toddlers due to different levels). Wonderful gastro pub literally 20m away, Charlbury is a small and quaint town. Blenheim Palace 10 mins away by car.
We had a great family weekend at Green Farm House. It is an extremely spacious house, full of character, with large bedrooms, a well-equipped kitchen and lovely views. Aldsworth is a quiet village away from the tourist buses of Bibury and Bourton, but still beautiful and with a nice pub walking distance from the house. We loved the layout of the house, which enabled us all to spread out when we needed to, as well as eat together at a long table. Would love to stay again. Thank you!
Had a great time & friendly owner…… place was perfect for a long weekend… hope to come here again…..
Excellent stay for a week in a lovely central location. Cottage is characteristic of a Cotswolds terrace house built some years ago but with modern comforts. Stairs are a little bit steep and narrow but not too bad. Five minute walk from the main high street with shops and restaurants.
There is nothing else we would have wished for... Charming, spotless, a very unique experience overviewing the Cotswolds when leaving the cottage
We have stayed at Farthingdales Cottage the second time this summer and we loved it even more this time. The Cottage is beautifully decorated, has a very cosy yet stylish (but not overstyled) look and feel and is the perfect home away from home. This time, the weather was not as warm/sunny as during our stay in 2022, so we made good use of the wood burner in the living room and had cosy nights in in front of the fire with a glass of wine. The cottage is spotlessly clean and has everything (and more) you need to make yourself feel at home. We especially love the open space living/dining roo...more
Our stay at Tachbrook was a wonderful experience. The village of Charlbury is quiet and peaceful, with lots of beautiful rolling hills. It seemed like each morning riders on horses would walk past the house. The trails were beautiful and it is well-situated for riding and walks.
Perfect weekend break for 4 friends and a dog. The location was in a beautiful rural setting and the cottage very well equipped with everything we needed.
We had a wonderful time at Wynyard Mill. We cannot fault the location or accommodation. The garden is also very deceiving initially offering a tranquil escape until opening into a vast space. What make this even more special - is while you are just a short stroll from the heart of malmesbury all the eye can see is green and shrubbery, a truly fantastic area. Malmesbury was also excellent with a great array of eateries along with being a central base for exploring other areas. We highly recommend this property and hope to return in the near future.
Excellent accommodation, hosts were so helpful & location was spot on. Many local attractions to visit
All went well. The private patio was a real lovely addition. We also appreciate the ability to stay in and cook a few meals.

We love Stepping Stones and have just enjoyed our second short break there this year. Blockley is a beautiful village and the Cotswolds a fabulous area with lots to do and see. The cottage is lovely and contains everything to make one’s stay feel like a home-from-home. It’s set in a small private, secluded area with just a few others homes. At the rear of the property is a babbling stream with a stunning church in the background. We would definitely recommend it.
I hired the Mill for my husbands birthday get together with a few friends. We had the most wonderful time. The house is gorgeous, the beds are comfy and the setting is wonderful. The only issue we had is that the cooker didn't have a manual so we had to 'A Team' it to be able to cook our dinner. Between 10 of us we made it work but a manual would have been great. Do not hesitate to book this venue - it was wonderful.
After an exhausting year we were ready for a break. The Drying House was a wonderful surprise. Very clean and comfortable with the joys of 2 bathrooms. The bed was incredible and we slept like the proverbial logs. Just a couple of minutes from the lovely Ledbury town centre but completely quiet and hidden away. The kitchen was very well equipped and the first place we have ever stayed in where the kitchen knives were actually usable. There are lots of leaflets available to browse when planning days out, which was very helpful and we did the walk to Frith Wood walk which we would definite...more
Beautiful cottage in a perfect location. The local pub was great too! Welcome treat of cake was very much appreciated
Our short stay in Stratford was memorable for many reasons including Trinity Cottage. Its location close to the town centre made sightseeing, eating and drinking very easy. The cottage itself is well maintained, comfortable and clean. Only one small gripe - we couldn’t find a teapot!
- Great location for seeing different villages in the Cotswold - Accommodation comfortable, well equipped kitchen and quiet surroundings - The one of the bathrooms is a wet room which may not suit some visitors - Very friendly owner and staff - Would stay there again
As soon as we arrived we realised we had picked the perfect place to stay to visit he Cotswolds. Unlike many places we have stayed in this cottage was better than the pictures on the website! It would be our dream little cottage to buy with a great number of pubs on the door step and a shop within walking distance. We did a few walks from the cottage and also drove a short way to his around Burford and the Upper and Lower Slaughters. Inside the cottage it was well appointed although there is no toilet no the ground floor which would be our only gripe.
Colebrook Cottage was excellent. Wonderfully comfortable, beautifully furnished and an excellent location. We ate at the local pub twice - both times we enjoyed the food and would recommend. Road links were good and visits to Cirencester and Hidcote proved easy.
We had a wonderful week at Barns Lee, hot weather so we enjoyed the pool. The house is spacious and well equipped to a high standard. We saw a deer by the apple tree and we enjoyed the beautiful large garden and peaceful setting.
We enjoyed our stay in this cosy ,well equipped and peaceful cottage in the Cotswolds.The cottage is in a great location for walks,visiting Winchcombe,Sudeley castle and the local preserved railway.We would recommend it to anyone wanting a relaxing and peaceful holiday.
Though difficult to find Tom’s Barn was an excellent rural location. The hosts were friendly and welcoming without being intrusive. The facilities and the Barn were ideal for our group. The only slight negative was the size of the fifth bedroom, but the overall layout and cleanliness were excellent.
Lovely cottage in a great location, only downside was the oven was not very clean at all when we arrived which meant we could not fully use it.
I recently had the pleasure of staying at this delightful holiday property nestled in the heart of the Cotswolds. The location was truly fantastic, offering both tranquility and accessibility. It was just a short drive away from Warwick, Leamington Spa, and the charming Stratford-upon-Avon. What's more, we were pleasantly surprised to find it was a mere 50-minute drive from the picturesque Bourton-on-the-Water, allowing us to explore the Cotswolds to our heart's content. The property itself was a dream. Light and airy, it provided the perfect retreat after our daily adventures. With ample h...more
With a large family gathering we were looking for a property sleeping 15 people...The Hunting Lodge on the Ragley Estate was perfect. Booking was straight forward and confirmation sent quickly. We all gathered and were delighted with the house which was spotlessly clean and well equipped. The Hot Tub was a great success and the very large garden perfect for a family cricket match. The beds were all exceptionally comfortable and the showers efficient. our 4 night stay for a 'big' birthday celebration proved all we had hoped for ...... only a couple of small points, for such a large property may...more
Lovely characterful House for a short stay, right in the centre of Chipping Campden. Great facilities, and immaculately presented, and excellent communications from owner. All in all, a lovely place to stay to experience all that CC and the Cotswolds has to offer.
We loved our stay at this comfortable and well located cottage. Well equipped and very clean. Walking distance to the very nice small town of Winchcombe with its quaint museum and famous meteorite
A well decorated, modern property, some lovely touches and very well looked after. Very pretty courtyard garden. Loved the bbq.The hot tub was clean, warm and fabulous (would recommend a handrail for additional safety). Village was central for sightseeing by car and there is a regular bus service in both directions, Gotherington railway station wasn't that close and not sign posted but an amazing view from the bedroom window when the steam trains passed. Overall well equipped but missing some kitchen utensils (potato masher, wooden spoons, oven gloves). Unless they were in a cupboard and we...more
The village is delightful, as is the cottage. The beds were extremely comfortable, the linens were clean and pleasing, and there were more than enough towels. Everything was great. We loved it, and so did our children. The terrace was a lovely feature and the lawn was small as described. There was a bit of dust in the cottage and we noticed quite a few spiders, but we understand that this is all part of village life:) Overall, we highly recommend it.
Family of five with three young kids, we stayed for a week in August 2023 visiting family in Cheltenham. The property is well located, especially with kids as it's nearby a great little park and playing field with a great coffee shop. It's also close to Cheltenham town centre. Parking easy, check in and check out was all done via the lock box, so super convenient. Beautifully appointed house, with the most incredible garden. Highly recommended!
Lovely property with some nice features. Very quiet. Large enclosed garden which the dogs loved. Well equipped kitchen and the welcome pack was a nice touch. Whilst walkable, we drove to nearest pub to eat in the evening as very dark to walk in the country lanes (probably fine in the summer!). Only very minor things let the property down which could have easily been rectified hence the 4/5 (broken kitchen bin, tablet holder not closing in dishwasher, mould on bathroom blind, bedroom curtains not hanging/closing properly).
We had a lovely stay at the Thatch House. Had everything we needed and plenty of room to relax. Location good and nice spacious garden.
Excellent place to stay, really quite Village and near to all of the lovely picturesque cotswold villages. The cottage was lovely and clean and cosy for a cottage. Thank you for the lovely touch of a bottle of wine and biscuits very much appreciated. Would recommend Bolthole retreats and Swallows Rest Cottage, this is our second time of staying in a bolthole retreats property and will definitely do it again. Thank you once again for a fantastic stay, look forward to our next stay.
We had a wonderful stay here for our wedding in April. The property was set on beautiful grounds, was private, clean, tidy and well presented. Owners were a pleasure to communicate with. We’d love to return in the future. Thank you for a lovely stay.
We had a lovely stay at the Yew Tree Cottage! It's a beautiful, spacious, updated house! Wifi, TV, appliances worked great. Beds, bedding, towels very comfortable! There was also a lovely welcome lemon cake upon our arrival! Also enough hot water for us all to shower everyday! A few items that could be improved: - We were not supplied with any dishwasher tablets/liquid to use - We were not supplied with any kitchen towels/washcloths to wash or dry dishes - Given no air conditioning, would like more than 1 fan. Would reco at least 1 per bedroom. - Given the size of the house, kitch...more
Booked a two day stay at very short notice with out our usual research but was really pleasantly surprised at the quality of this property. Very spacious and easily accommodated the four of us. It was nicely located to explore the Cotswolds and had The Fleece Inn located at a walkable distance serving great food. It seemed busy all the time so booking advisable. All in all a great stay and will definitely hope to revisit Whippet Cottage when we can
The cottage is in a very good location in a quiet village which is close to main roads. Shops and restaurants within 3-4 miles. Beautifully decorated and well kitted out. Quality appliances in the kitchen and plenty of crockery etc good heating and hot water, plus open fire if needed. Any issues were responded to quickly and overall was excellent accommodation and customer service.
Lovely property, excellent location. A shame most of the kitchen cupboards were locked leaving only one cupboard for you to store your own shopping. Everything is there that you could possibly need and would recommend this property for a great stay in the cotswolds.
Loved it 100%. Loved the welcome from the dogs and cat - made the holiday for grown-up kids that have different interests but bond on animals. Perfect base to meet up with family and explore the Bath and Bristol area.
The shepards hut was very inviting on the inside with a vase of flowers, tea, coffee and biscuits provided, there was also central heating and a small wood burner incase needed. There were games, a welcome folder with interesting things to do in the area and a pull out table and benches from under the raised bed to eat at. The view over the forest from the window and porch was lovely and we could just see the river Severn glinting in the distance between the trees. It was very peaceful with just the calling of buzzards and owls echoing across the forest and seats were provided outside th...more
The cottage was excellent and very comfortable. We had a lovely visit and would definitely recommend it. Welcome gift was very much appreciated.
The layout of the house and outside area worked very well. Well equipped for our needs. Many walks near by, pretty villages to see and a round of golf.
The property is neat and tidy and plenty big enough for 2 couples. The hot tub is a lovely addition. The criticisms would be the need to fix the curtain pole in the lounge - really messed with my engineer friend's mind, and also the cleaners need to look up, especially in the bathroom, and clear all the cobwebs away. It was also impossible to have a shower without making the floor very wet as the screen across the to of the bath wasn't long enough. Other than all that we would be happy to come back to the area and book the same property, or try one of the others on the farm.
We enjoyed a week at Church Cottage in Burford and delighted in the cosy cottage, fantastic secluded garden and convenience to Burford High Street. Be aware of steep staircase, that was our only concern. It is located right beside St. John the Baptist Church with fascinating history and great Cafe 15 in Warwick Hall.
Lovely location, beautiful cottage, very well equipped. Grandparents and children all had a wonderful stay. Thank you.
Love this place, we imagine the many stories it could tell and happy to be be back again. Not for everyone, but as a group of four, its perfect - especially when the sun shines
Gorgeous cottage with view of the lake, amazing parks and outdoor heated pool. Cottage well equipped and had everything we needed! The whole Lower Mill Estate was perfect for a family holiday.
Just returned from a 2 night stay to celebrate my Mum's 80th Birthday, 5 Adults & 2 Children & dogs. The cottage was lovely, spotlessly clean, decorated to a high standard, sofa was amazing so comfortable, beds really comfortable with high quality bedding & pillows, we all slept soundly, the ensuite bathrooms were lovely, hand soap & reed diffusers where Rituals & smelt devine. Kitchen was fitted out with all you could want. Plenty of games to keep you occupied & a lovely garden with rattan garden furniture. I would definitely recommend this property we would stay again.
Woodmancote Cottage is a spacious, comfortable and lovely cottage that was perfect for our party of 5 adults. The bedrooms were large, excellent quality bedding and lots of storage space. Two large bathrooms and a cloakroom downstairs - perfect. We spent most of out time in the well-equipped and spacious kitchen/dining room with huge window seats, or outside in the garden, table & chairs provided. Original art works, antique furniture and fresh flowers - this was an exceptional house. The grounds were quiet and private, we did good walks from the house, walked to the local pub Bathurst...more
We had a great stay here. We were a party of 8 including 2 children. Lovely accommodation and excellent kitchen. We really enjoyed our time at Gladstone Cottage.
Me and my boys stayed whilst visiting the Air festival and it was a perfect spot. The beds and bedding were even better than home. So we now all want new sheets and pillows. So soft and comfy. It felt very luxurious to us. The place was very comfy, felt spacious and we had a lovely stay. Fully equipped kitchen ( No freezer)
Excellent accommodation. All high quality. Supporting documents comprehensive and complete Bolthole staff very helpful.
Lovely cottage, great location. Plenty of space for 5 guests. TV too small in such a large lounge, garden could be more user friendly as steps and level changes are tricky.
We stayed in Malmesbury at the Leat- what a great place. Loved especially how quiet the location was. The fact that the property abuts an Avon tributary where we could observe the local wildlife (fish, ducks, and herons) made it even more special. This is a beautiful place and I would strongly recommend anyone staying in the Cotswolds to consider staying here.
We had a great vista and lots of wildlife squirrels bring in abundance. There was everything in the cottage you would need for a short break of even a week away.
Ridgeway Farm is a large property with beautiful views. However the latter part of our holiday was spoilt by a large festival held on the Ragley Estate. We were not told about this on booking so were surprised when a stream of cars arrived down the side of the garden. Pollution and noise increased, our privacy was intruded on and the view was spoilt by tents, caravans and cars. Do your research before booking if you are looking for a peaceful holiday! Alison, the housekeeper was very responsive but we had far too many issues for a one week holiday. The blind fell down repeatedly in one of the...more
Our stay was amazing, the village of Coln St Aldwyns is so lovely and the house is close to the shop, the playground and the pub. The house itself is clean, cosy and has everything you might need. Very comfy beds and good sheets. The garden is amazing with views onto the fields. We will definitely be back.
We really enjoyed our stay. With four children to keep entertained, the big garden and multiple sitting rooms meant great fun for two families to enjoy. Beautiful house and setting and family friendly stay!
Immaculate presentation of this recently refurbished cottage. All the old world charm retained with every 21st Century comfort you could want. Be aware that although on street parking is easy you may not have your car in sight of the cottage. Will return, excellent stay.
Location is superb, cannot be beat! But the house is clearly a rental property. It was clean.....enough, but this house needs someone to oversee it. Kitchen sink has the usual issues as in the sink drain was just dirty and every time we ran water into it, it smelled of decayed food wafting up into our faces. Seems the drain needs a deep cleaning. Master bedroom windows open to let air into the house but the windows have rot and mildew on the frames and they don't quite close properly as the window hardware is loose. Clearly there is a moisture issue in this house as there were dehumidifie...more
We had a great time staying at 14 Vineyard Street! We loved the house and having the full kitchen, washer and dryer, cable and Internet, multiple bathrooms and bedrooms a good distance from the socializing space. Free admission to Sudeley Castle was also fabulous as it allowed us to go multiple times with the kids. It was the perfect location for our family. The only comment we have that is for management is that there is something off about the water in the kitchen. It tastes bad. The water upstairs and in the separate sleeping quarters out back was fine, but the kitchen water wasn't....more
Our 2nd time at the cottage - we absolutely love it and will return again! The cottage is cosy, nicely decorated and has everything you would need - even a big garden. It’s in a great location with good walks & lovely cafes nearby. Would highly recommend to everyone!
The cottage was very well appointed and had everything we needed for a lovely stay. I'd definitely recommend Maisey Cottage.
Overall a great place for families to stay. Well located and have all the amenities including for babies. We stayed here with our parents and kids and everyone was quite comfortable. Just one suggestion - the downstairs bath can have a shower curtain so that it can be used without making much mess.
The Gallery at King Johns Barn is perfect in terms of location. It’s an ideal base for your Cotswold holiday. Beautiful views and we loved seeing the Cows in the field. We are a couple staying with our little dog Poppy for the week. There was a lovely welcome bag when we arrived with some lovely goodies and lovely farm fresh eggs. We also arranged for a Tesco delivery which helped massively. Two great sized bedrooms, we used the room upstairs as the bed was huge and comfortable. Kitchen was well equipped and had everything we needed. Great open plan living/dining room. WiFi was poor but we ...more
We stayed in the cottage with 4 friends and enjoyed our time there immensely. The cottage and its surroundings were idyllic and the location was ideal for trips we made to Stroud and Cirencester. Walking down the valley into Painswick for lunch and returning via the Cotswolds Way was a really interesting walk. Things that need improving. Outside furniture was inadequate if there were 10 people staying. The dining table was poor and warped. No instruction manuals for oven, hob or barbecue. No tray in he showers for shampoo ad soap.
Great place to stay literally in the town but didn't feel like it loads of space in the property so you weren't on top of each other. Glad we could take dog as there was loads of walks around the area, garden was great but not fully fenced in so needed to be mindful when dog was out in garden with us. That being said it was a great place to stay and the town of Winchcombe was lovely with nice pubs to eat and drink but the kitchen in the property was brilliant if you want to cook for yourself. 3 double bedrooms with ensuite and a room with 2 single beds so that was great as well as you don't...more
I booked this property for a short break, wanting a location away from the main busy villages of the Costwolds and this location fit the bill perfectly. The cottage has clearly had a lot of love, time and thought (and money!) put into its renovation and fixtures/fittings/decor, which shows not only in the photos, but in real life too. The location was great, really sweet, quiet village with a great pub and on the edge of beautiful countryside, within really easy drives of everywhere we wanted to go during our stay. I do need to unfortunately mark it down on a few factors, cleanliness and com...more
We stayed at Woodside Cottage for a long weekend and really enjoyed the stay. The cottage is large and well equipped and in a great location. The village has a couple of nice pubs just a short walk away and a Morrison Daily and a good butchers. The cottage is about 70 yards away from the foot path to link into walks to the beautiful Chipping Campden and Hidcote Gardens. There’s plenty more we didn’t get time to see and will look to stay again in future.
Spacious, clean accommodation in beautiful surroundings. All amenities provided. Excellent engagement with the owner. Planning to return for a longer stay in the future.
Fantastic spacious house with tonnes of room for our party of 9. Dead easy to find (postcode deposits you at the door) and we'll located for Blenheim, Bicester, Oxford etc. Wonderfully decorated throughout, fully equipped - just wonderful.
We had a lovely comfortable stay, the cottage was spotlessly clean and was very well equipped. Tastefully decorated and nicely furnished. Thank you
The most gorgeous little Cotswold stone cottage in an idyllic location with fabulous views. Cosy and beautifully furnished too, we loved it
We had a great short break with multi-generational family members. Temple Guiting Cottage is deceptively large - roomy bedrooms, pretty decor and a small but sunny garden surrounded by trees. The silence was punctuated by birds in the day and owls at night - a great escape. Loved the Bramley bath products and the thoughtful welcome basket. Location wise you need a car to get supplies - there is the lovely working town of Winchcombe which is close by and more touristy Stow and Broadway.
The property was ideally located for access to the village which had plenty of places to eat and drink, as well as a small but well stocked supermarket. The property had an enclosed garden which is ideal for dogs. Nicely furnished with all the required amenities. Two bathrooms both had showers but no bath. Downstairs toilet very useful.
This historical Bothy (restored cowshed/home of a herder) as been converted into a comfortable one bedroom unit. The design and furniture are high quality and stylish. The photos are representative of the cottage. Check in was easy and finding the place was also easy given the good directions given. The bed was very comfortable and it was wonderful to be able to sleep with the windows open for fresh air. Bibury is a good central location to many historical gardens and sites. There are two eating establishments within walking distance of the cottage. We had no issue with the spiral stai...more
The cottage was comfortable but the noise from the central heating cupboard in the main bedroom caused sleep disturbance, as did the fan in the ensuite bathroom, which did not turn off. The shower cubicles needed hand rails and neither bathroom had any storage space. Directions on how to operate the washer/dryer would have been useful. The allocated parking bay is not useful for any car larger than a mini or similar. The house needs a deep clean to include floors and skirting boards, which were dusty and debris from previous occupants was evident in the dining area.
Outside space/garden furniture untidy/cushions dirty Beds/bedding mediocre quality Cooking equipment lacking
Great property at a great location. Everything has been thought of to enable a fantastic stay. Ideal for a family getaway
Our arrival at the cottage were met by gasps from my wife and friend. Furnishings and space strike you the most. Beautiful surroundings, with fields and houses dotted about in the lane. Michelle & Robert (caretakers) were called in the morning as the heating had not come on. The weather, totally unexpected turned rather chilly. They were brilliant and arrived very quickly to rectify the issue, purchasing a good supply of logs etc. as well. If you want peace and quiet together with comfort Westerleigh Cottage does it all. Kilkeney Inn is a fab place to eat, amazing chef.
The location is great if you want a quiet break. Really pretty village location. Good pub/restaurant near called the Frogmill. Furniture is a bit tired and the sofas are not very comfortable.
Great location, easy parking, well equipped kitchen, living area needed some more home comforts - rug, lamps (there was one but it didn't work). Extra charge of £40 for a dog seems excessive when the cottage was already over £200 per night
Six of us enjoyed our stay at Suncroft and would definitely stay again in this charming and well equipped cottage! We missed the walking suggestions (not in file) but managed a couple of walks through the local countryside. The cottage was charming and well equipped and great for the two dogs but we felt the pet ‘fee’ high at £40 per pooch! We’d love to return!
The cottage is in a fabulous location with lovely neighbours too! All requirements & more in kitchen Bedrooms are nicely furnished. The back bedroom could do with a mirror near to a plug. Lounge is well furnished & very comfortable. A lovely 3 nights.
We had a lovely stay at Thimble Cottage so would recommend. The cottage is beautiful and we love Lower Slaughter. There was only one thing that we were confused by - on more than one occasion we were asked to contact the owner before arrival - I tried to do this twice - no answer - went to voice mail and no call back. Was this necessary to do? If yes why weren’t we called back. Other than that a perfect stay. Thank you.
We had a wonderful weekend at Almsbury Farmhouse. The dining table can seat fourteen and the spacious kitchen was very well equipped. The house is full of character and our grandchildren loved exploring it and hiding in the large cupboards! On arrival, we wanted to turn the heating up but couldn't find the control panel with its screen. We rang the Sudely Estate office and a man explained it was on the first floor at the top of the stairs and he patiently waited while we got it set. Happily the house warmed up very quickly. The annexe is also lovely and well equipped for two people. We found t...more
A nice detached house with two bedrooms and separate bathrooms. Everything you need for a comfortable stay is there is this efficient home . The kitchen is well equipped, dining table and chairs for our family of four. The Living room sits up to 6. It is located close to both Sudeley Castle and the town, an excellent location.
The cottage is extremely comfortable, beautifully furnished and VERY fully equipped. Such a great place to stay in the centre of Winchcombe and with free access to the wonderful Sudeley Castle. Lovely pubs, cafes, delis etc. in short walking distance. We recommend 'The Corner Cupboard' and 'William's' in particular. It's worth checking in advance what's open on different days of the week, though, especially out of summer season. Sudeley castle is amazing. It's really worth timing your visit to hear the talk, as it gives you so much background with which to explore the castle. Take a picnic! ...more
I booked the Cottage on behalf our relatives visiting from America. They really loved Box Cottage, and thought it was perfect, with all the English charm, yet with all the modern conveniences. They thought the patio garden was delightful, and everything inside the Cottage was catered for their needs. It is a great location right in the heart of Broadway village, yet very quiet and peaceful.
Great location and a charming cottage for our family stay. Short walks to pubs and the common. Everything was perfect!
The Cotswold Water Park was really lovely, - beautifully maintained and very peaceful. Unfortunately the lodges (which seem to be individually owned, ) varied in the quality of their maintenance). Mayfly Lodge looked a bit tired ( end of season?) There was less crockery, glasses etc than needed - especially for 6 - and the quality of the bedding and towels was not what I would have expected. We enjoyed our holiday, loved the lakes and the views, and the ducks at our gate were a delight.
I booked this cottage last October. My family and I have demanding jobs and were looking forward to a peaceful relaxing break, it would have been more peaceful to stay in the centre of Bath! We arrived on a boiling hot day and the aga was on so the kitchen was like a furnace. As advised in the details I called the owner (as she does not want guests to adjust the setting). We had to be quite forceful to persuade her to turn it off! To our horror roadworks started right in front of the property the next day at 8:30am and lasted until our last full day. The first evening, when we were about to...more
The house was lovely and very well equipped. It was situated perfectly for us. We enjoyed our stay
Very nice accommodations. Beautiful views out back with lovely yard. We had to buy portable fans as the weather was unseasonably hot and the hair dryers were hard to find (in a dresser drawer?) so we bought a hair dryer. Had to buy body wash too. Otherwise, highly recommend staying here.
Lovely traditional cotswold cottage in quaint quiet location. Spacious enough for the family. Everything provided for. Double room on second floor unfortunately very hot over a warm weekend as window small and boiler in the room. 2 small fans provided, would have been better with more fans or bigger ones. Overall, everything fine and we had an enjoyable stay.
Exactly as expected, comfortable rooms and fully working appliances. Short distance from town, and very quiet area.
Although the bolthole was impressive when we first walked in, we soon became less than impressed with the state of the accommodation. The floor was dirty and gave us black feet, the blinds has been splashed with reddish brown stains and when the sofa when slightly moved, revealed shards of glass that had not been picked up. The boltholes must have had a quick spritz rather than a good clean between guests. Hopefully after my feedback, future guests benefit from a cleaner property. The hot tub was not cleaned as stated on the website, there was a layer of grime and muck on the s...more
We stayed at Stow house in the run up to our wedding and got ready and left from there the morning of the wedding. It was perfect, a home away from home. Stow house is spacious with plenty of areas to relax and accommodate a large group staying there, the bedrooms are comfortable and all the amenities you need are provided. If I was to suggest any improvements, extra lighting outside in the garden would be very useful. The storm candles were great but more light was needed to see where you were going. A stronger light system would be beneficial outside. A bigger freezer is needed as w...more
The information we had about the cottage prior to arrival was excellent with all the ready need -to- know information such as full address and passcode for entry etc. The cottage has a beautiful garden and view with seating area outside and the cottage was fully equipped for our family of five who all enjoyed their stay and praised it. Two areas of improvement would be . Standard of cleanliness. There were quite a lot of dog hairs and the kitchen floor had not been swept or washed. The first thing I did was to sweep it! For the money we paid this was very disappointing. The other little co...more
Poppy cottage is a small, well appointed terraced cottage in the beautiful hamlet of Broadwell. Although it lacks garden space it does have a tiny sunny rear courtyard. The cottage has many original features & quality fittings with two steep staircases up to the bedrooms, tricky for anyone with mobility issues. The bedroom on the top floor has original beams with very restricted head height in places. A real bonus staying at the cottage is The Fox pub being within 5 minutes walk, overlooking the village green & providing a warm welcome and fabulous fresh food. The peace and quiet of this lovel...more
Very pleasant stay overall. No issues.good clean property,well stocked kitchen and ample of parking space.
beautiful cottage in a peaceful location . the castle and grounds are worth a couple of visits during stay lots to see lovely walks and so close too cottage. Quiet hilly so need to be fairly fit too be able to follow the walks.
Lovely stone cottage, cool in a heatwave. Peaceful nights - comfortable king-sized bed. Just a 5-minute walk to the Seagrave Arms and the Village Bakery for drinks and meals. Great path up to Chipping Campden through fields and woods.
We (two couples) stayed for 4 nights at the Sudeley Castle Gatehouse to explore the Cotswolds. The location was just perfect for taking driving tours in the area and simply enjoying the local village and walking paths. The Gatehouse has two bedrooms, one on the downstairs left side and one upstairs on the right side (when facing it from the driveway). If you are staying in the downstairs bedroom, you will have to walk a few steps outside under the covered archway to get to the kitchen and second upstairs bedroom. Both rooms have comfortable beds and ensuite bathrooms. There's also a co...more
Excellent location with walks straight from the door. Comfy bed and sofas, and lovely under floor heating! In need of some attention in the kitchen and garden area.
A perfect base for a few nights in the Cotswolds. The cottage itself is charming and very well equipped with some thoughtful touches. The booking process was very easy and smooth.
We arrived at the end of the September heatwave to this beautiful property. The house was on a quiet country lane with very little traffic. The large enclosed garden was perfect for the dogs to explore and we enjoyed how private it was. The house itself was very comfortable with lovely seating areas to relax, and we were all happy with the comfy beds. The views from the windows were beautiful and we had a fantastic choice of walks from the door. Some minor points to address that could be improved: the main bedroom window monkey tail handle was snapped off, meaning it had to be wedged back in t...more
We had a few nice days in Jasmine cottage. It's a very cosy house, very clean and all we needed was provided. Friendly people too and a nice swimmingpool with heated water. The only thing we didn't like was the location. Outside was a lot of noise from the traffic on the road very near to the cottage. And only after we made reservations we found out that the swimmingpool was only at our disposal between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. A bit of a disappointment there.
The Hayloft at New Barn Farm is a beautiful place to stay, in a very peaceful and quiet rural location, but at the same close enough to many attractions and amenities. The Hayloft is very well appointed, and exceptionally comfortable - a perfect place to stay in a beautiful area.
Great place to stay, super refurbishment, all mod cons and lovely decor. Would definitely consider a visit again,
WE had a wonderful stay but would like to say we found the TV would not work phoned but no help given after 2 days had to retune it our selves took about an hour to do, washing left in the machine, log store had a lock on it but no code given to open it, and old socks in draw, all in all should have been checked,
We book here every year for a flying display at the glider club. Always clean and comfy beds. Quiet location and everything you need.
We loved our stay at Beecham Farmhouse. It is a large, beautifully renovated and decorated home that had ample space for our party of 11 (6 adults, 5 kids). Communication from the property managers was prompt and courteous - they were super responsive and helpful! The location is a little odd - beautiful farmlands about 10-15 minutes from Stratford upon Avon but you have to drive through a (light) industrial estate to get there (we were a little surprised when we first arrived). It feels very remote, but you are driving distance to Stratford, and the most popular Cotswolds villages are about...more
Had a great time in a cosy atmosphere. We had everything we needed at hand and didn't need to worry about anything. Can only recommend :)
We were tempted to leave on arriving at this tired and not very clean cottage. However, after cleaning all surfaces and kitchen and bathroom floor, we felt better (approximately 2 hours). Very grateful for the dishwasher providing clean crockery and cutlery. Bedding was clean, too. Shower worked well and water was hot. We were regularly removing woodlouse wanderers. Since £100 is listed as the cleaning fee, we had expected it to look and smell clean. Only place we have ever stayed without any sort of welcome pack, not even milk. Cottage well situated with decent parking space, so su...more
A lovely find in the Cotswolds. Good size for 3 families, and well equipped. Would definitely recommend staying here.
My wife and I stayed in this cottage after our wedding at Sudeley Castle. It was absolutely delightful, with a well supplied kitchen, clean bathrooms and a really comfortable bedroom. Superb location close to Winchcombe and the castle, and the group of cottages made it suitable to have our family stay close by. Amazing stay, would absolutely recommend and stay again.
We loved our break at the cottage.It is fantastically situated with a beautiful lavender scented front garden with two sets of patio furniture plus a barbecue.
Fantastic location! Walkable to shops and the complimentary access to Sudeley Castle is great! Cottage was well appointed and clean. Could use an updated mattress/pillows in the master bedroom though.
Great cottage in a first class location. Very quiet, all the amenities we needed. Would definitely recommend
We were a group of 8 adults and 5 children, ages 3 to 73 and this was a perfect house, set in a lovely, secluded location. Eclectic and quirky decor. The huge open plan kitchen/ living area was really sociable. The picture windows leading into the garden meant the adults could keep a watchful eye on the children. The garden was big and the kids loved the trampoline. The dressing up box was a big hit too. The house is in a nature reserve which has lovely walks. Area has lots to do. We were blessed with fab weather. Would book again.
One of the best holiday cottages I’ve ever stayed in. Well equipped. Spacious. Peaceful. Clean. Pub across rd. walks from doorstep. Highly recommend.
Had a lovely few days at the cottage at Sudeley Castle great location and lovely cottage. Only downside was the accommodation above us we could hear every footstep, chair moving, tv and toilet flushing slightly annoying!
Excellent accommodation in an ideal location. We were attending an event at Ragley Hall so the location couldn’t have been any better. Having said that, there are plenty of nice places locally that we also visited. Would happily stay here again if we were visiting this part of the country again. Accommodation was well equipped and had everything that we needed. Unfortunately, we didn’t get the opportunity to try the hot tub!
We have stayed at this place four years in a row and it’s always been great. This year we decided to invite some friends to come with us and between us we rented three of the 5 barns available. On arrival the bathroom in our house was dirty which was disappointing and there was a real problem with infestation of beetles. We could have overlooked these things as we’ve always been a fan of this location but the treatment our friends received from the owner was appalling and we were embarrassed that we’d recommended the place. The owner decided to install a hot tub in one of the properties af...more
A comfortable and characterful property situated in a quiet cluster of properties, very much in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by fields and woodland providing stunning, on the doorstep walks! Highlight during the day was meeting a herd of 15 deer in the woodland. At night, with zero light pollution whatsoever, the clear night skies were breath taking, including some pretty impressive shooting stars! The log burner was a welcome warming focus point, although it would have been even better if the glass was clean which would have allowed the full beauty of the fire to be on show, rather tha...more
Traveling from Chicago, the main reason I chose New Church Cottage for our visit to the Cotswolds was that it was in walking distance to restaurants and pubs. We didn't want to have a car because we aren't practiced at driving on the left, so walkability was important. The cottage was very convenient for exploring the charming village of Tetbury. We definitely needed to book transport in advance, but it worked out. We were able to get rides back and forth from Kemble train station for excursions to Bath and to and from Paddington. The cottage was very clean, furniture was comfortable, beds ...more
I had a nice stay , good shower , bed and plenty of parking . My only criticism would be the property is look a little tried a could do with some fresh paint also some of the mugs still had tea/ coffee stains in .
The village of Ebrington has everything needed for a quiet, away from it all stay. An award winning pub next door, veggi matters cafe/farm shop/butchers within walking distance, walks, not too far from Chipping for swings etc for children and all the shops you could want. Our stay at The Rowan. The sitting room is spacious and held all 7 of us comfortably. If you have subscriptions to Netflix or Amazon Prime do remember to bring the passcodes!! Wifi in certain areas of the house very slow/poor. A great pity that the cloakroom didn’t have a shower, this would make all the bedro...more
Minor Negatives were 10 am early checkout, insects, lack of firewood, unclear who to contact about early checkout and owners do not respond to WhatsApp. Overall we enjoyed our time here and would like to stay again next year!
My mother-in-law stayed in this cottage over the weekend of my wedding at Sudeley castle. Lovely cottage, well appointed, and in a really convenient location for both the castle and for Winchcombe. Toilet unfortunately malfunctioned at the end of the stay, but the staff apologized and promised to fix, so no harm done. Great place - would definitely recommend.
Lingering terrible musty smell in every room No dog facilities, towels, outdoor hose, no access direct to rear of property so if you've been on a long, wet, muddy walk, you have to go through the lounge (with beige carpet) to get to downstairs kitchen and outdoor rear area .... not ideal No private parking but parking on road was ok, rear is decked and overgrown Very small overall with low level ceilings on stairs, very narrow stairs to upper floor. Sofas and carpets could do with a good clean. Toilet seat clashes with large bathroom cabinet.
We had a fantastic stay at Butts Farm, with all the family, 11 in total. Great location, easy to find, could also check in a bit earlier, which was very helpful. We also had flowers, card, wine and bubbly!!!!! Family came from Devon and Nottingham!
What a fantastic house for a group! Lots of spaces to relax and eat. The pool, hot tub and outdoor table provided a fantastic setting and it felt like we had gone overseas. The Landers was clean and well appointed. The location was great however a little noisy at times when the road was busy.
A glorious weekend with excellent facilities with SO much to do within touching distance. We took both cottages for 3 couples and a young child in a cot. The highlight was the garden complete with BBQ and space for a toddler to roam free. We also loved the general standard across the property and the eco credentials (heat pump, eco toiletries etc). Everything was clean and in a good state of repair save for a few damp stains here and there and the odd bit of crumbling paint. We visited Cotswold Farm Park on a rainy day which was great for all ages when accompanying a child, with suprisingly ...more
What a treat to arrive to a warm fire, beautifully decorated Christmas tree, wine and cake. Bluebell is a beautiful cottage. Magnificent views. My only negative is that if you are wishing to self-cater, the crockery and cutlery is quite limited.
We were a family of 6 (3 generations) with a baby and a dog and found the space in the cottage really good. The main living room and kitchen having lots of space. The utility room with washing machine facilities was an added bonus with a small baby in the party. The garden was fabulous to sit in, especially during late evening. The surrounding area was perfect for exploring the Cotswolds. We loved Northleach and in particular the Sherborne Arms has to recommended as an exceptional place to get food, in a lovely relaxed “pub setting”. We loved our stay at Bill’s Cottage!
Nice cottage with all comforts; kitchen well stocked with crockey and appliances. Walls are thin and noises propagate a lot. Found two small cockcroches on the ground floor. A couple more rooms of toilet papers would have been useful.
The Granary exceeded all expectations! The property is beautiful, comfortable and clean and the upside down set up with the bedrooms downstairs came in really handy with the current heatwave as they stayed lovely and cool. We had full use of the huge garden, just to sit and relax or play with the dog.
Really enjoyed our anniversary break and we had wonderful weather. Cottage is very cosy and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Ideally situated for great days out. The Fox in Leafield was absolutely delicious and very friendly staff.
Pub nearby was nice, but closed much earlier than advertised. Great for walking and for peace and quiet. Village could have done with a small village store.
Excellent location with stunning views. This was one of three cottages we booked for our family as we were attending a wedding in the area.
We had a wonderful time at Hill View Rise. The property was in an amazing location and the barn itself is stunning. It had everything we needed and was perfect for our dog and two toddlers to run around and play. The way the property was designed and equipped was perfect, I would only suggest some fans in the hotter months as it does get very warm. Overall we would definitely love to stay here again.
The website and the welcome book in the cottage itself clearly stated that we would receive a welcome pack with fresh milk, butter, half a dozen eggs, bread, biscuits/cake, snacks and a bottle. All we were given were a pack of Malted Milk biscuits and a bottle of sparkling apple juice, so wasn't a great welcome! The cottage is in need of some TLC, especially the garden which was overgrown and untidy. The gates don't lock either which meant the dogs were able to run out into the road. The beds were uncomfortable, the bedding and towels need replacing and the smoke alarm on the ceiling in...more
Comfortable accommodation. Not enough rubbish bins for the size of the property. Barbecue clapped out! Beautiful views.
The house, the garden, the area are absolutely stunning! The bathrooms and kitchen are excellent, the showers are very good. Internet is perfect. However, unfortunately, I have to mention that the furniture is very outdated. The couches in the livingroom are extremely uncomfortable to sit on. The chairs in the dining room are very wobbly, we hardly daired sitting on them. The beds are very uncomfortable as well: either too soft or too hard, with springs sticking out. And only one bath towel for a whole week really isn't enough. Besides that we have had a lovely time in Aldsworth.
We booked three cottages together to accommodate our family for a wedding, which worked really well. Not too far to the wedding venue so very convenient. Lovely location with stunning views. Spacious accommodation.
Great little cottage for the four of us. Comfortable and well equipped. Kids loved the trampoline outside. Be warned the nearby A417 gives a constant hum of traffic but otherwise the location is good. Easy to get to Gloucester, Cheltenham, or into the Cotswolds AONB. Nearby Crickley Hill has great views; we liked the pub in Birdlip; laser tag in Cheltenham; Nina Warrior and cathedral in Gloucester; Cotswold Farm Park is great for kids and animal lovers. Lots to do!
A really lovely location and a comfortable cottage with a charming small garden. A couple of issues that could be improved upon: The wifi was inadequate for the 4 people trying to work remotely, lots of interrupted meetings and frustration! The bath towels were a bit small and well-used The outside sitting area with table has no shade, it was hot and it would have been lovely to have a patio umbrella available. It should be clear that the beds are not king size and the one in the outside room is small for 2 people. The kitchen has everything one needs and is well appointed.
We had a fantastic time at the Old Barn. It looks and feels as amazing as it does on the photos. It is a beautiful place to stay with really excellent facilities, stunning views and really good value for money. Really comfortable living area, very well kitted kitchen with really stunning design of the conversion. We also relaxed in the large garden and enjoyed the views. There is a great local pub about 5-10 mins walk away which we would recommend. The communication from booking was also second to none, all in all 10/10 stay.
Perfect for our stay - the big kitchen table with views over the valley meant we rarely used the living room! Kitchen was well equipped and we had enough space for 8 adults, 1 child and a baby. Parking space is a bit limited so worth checking out if you’re heading there with multiple cars!
The dishwasher was unusable on the day we arrived but the owner arranged for a new one to be installed the same day. We thought that was very impressive and thoughtful. We were a bit disappointed not to have the view from the house which is shown on the website.
