Elegance and country chic styling are found throughout this holiday cottage in Northleach which has a woodburning stove and beautiful details. Engaging conversations in the cosy indulgence of the living room and meals of local ingredients will fill your time here when you’re not exploring.

A lovely cottage, great location for local amenities and pub/restaurants. Generally very comfortable but Antelope Cottage does need some investment upgrades to fixtures and fittings.

We recently stayed at this cottage in the Cotswolds and overall had a wonderful time. The location was perfect, easy to find, easy parking, and situated in a charming village where it was simple to pick up essentials. The décor throughout the cottage was lovely and made for a cozy stay.

There were, however, a few things that could be improved. The towels were quite thin, and there were no basic supplies such as shampoo, laundry detergent, or coffee for the french press. The cottage also didn’t have a clothes dryer, which made washing clothes a bit inconvenient . The front door lock was difficult to operate, and the street outside was extremely dark at night. The upstairs bathroom lighting was poor, and it was hard to see in the small mirror, so I recommended travelers to bring a travel mirror. Additionally, the main bedroom bed was not very comfortable and felt quite small for two people.

Despite these issues, we really enjoyed our stay and appreciated the charm and style of the cottage. With a few upgrades, this could be an exceptional place to stay.

We had such a lovely time at Antelope Cottage. Great location within steps of the local pub and shops. Great walks from the house and lovely evenings spent by the fire. Would definitely recommend a stay here.

We have stayed in Bolthole properties every time we've visited the UK and loved the each one. This one however, had some things we think could be improved upon. While the property decor was lovely, there were some issues not up to par with others we have experienced. The bath towels provided were very thin and with no towel warmer did not dry. No bathroom shampoo or shower gel was provided and that was not noted in advance which we did not expect. This was an issue as we were traveling from abroad and did not expect in a higher end property. The washing machine did not also dry clothes. There is not a microwave in kitchen which is ok but should be noted and is unusual in a holiday home for quick meals.

On the positive side, the location is great and the pub down the street is great. With just a few tweaks this cottages could be a 10!

Antelope Cottage was cosy and well equipped. The beds were super comfy and the lounge was snug.

There were a few niggles:- the power tripped one evening; the front door knob needs to be tightened; the fresh water tap drips; and the kitchen dresser left draw handle is very loose. There also appeared to be only 1 bin in the house in the kitchen.

But overall I would recommend the cottage. It was a relaxed and cosy stay. Northleach is a lovely little town and and a great location to explore this area of the Cotswolds.

We had a lovely stay at Antelope Cottage. The cottage itself is well maintained, beautifully decorated and comfortable with everything you could possibly need available. The added touch of breakfast pastries on arrival was really lovely.
The location was perfect - it was a short 10/15 minute drive in each direction to get to other popular villages such as Bibury and Bourton on the Water. It was a 30 minute drive to Cheltenham. The local pub served us a delicious meal so this is really worth a visit too.
Thank you for a wonderful break!

We recently stayed in Antelope Cottage for a 10 day vacation in the Cotswolds. We couldn't have been more delighted with our stay. The cottage is exactly as pictured. The fully stocked kitchen made it easy to prepare meals. The instructions to get to the cottage as well as access the keys were simple and clear. We loved the location. Very easy to drive to so many different villages and explore the countryside. We loved the village of Northleach. The two local pubs were fantastic, the small grocery store made it so easy to pop over to get supplies and there were a couple of options to get a coffee or tea and pastries as well.

We enjoyed our stay. The house is small and the floors a bit uneven as per usual in the cotswolds. All provisions were there and the owner was very responsive. Would be nice to have info on and to have been able to recycle.

The cottage was lovely, clean & well equipped. It's in an ideal location to explore some of the surrounding towns and villages. Also good to have the pub virtually on the doorstep! We ate there a couple of times.
When we had an issue with the hob, both the owner & housekeeper were very responsive and the problem was quickly resolved. Can I suggest some copies of instruction books for appliances would be helpful in the property though.
All in all it was an excellent stay and my husband & I enjoyed our few days away.
