This charming cottage welcomes you with its warm Cotswold stone exterior and delightful front garden. Sitting in the pretty village of Meysey Hampton you are a short stroll from the local pub and nearby historic Cirencester is a lovely day out. With exposed wooden beams and a stone fireplace housing a modern woodburning stove, Gable Cottage is a cosy retreat. Enjoy country life in this rural location and spend days at Cotswold Water Park or Cotswold Wildlife Park and Gardens, walking the glorious surroundings and visiting the nearby towns and villages of Burford and Bourton-on-the-Water.

We stayed for a week over Christmas. Overall, we would give the home 4 out of 5 stars. It's very cozy and exactly as pictured making it memorable holiday. With that said, we found the beds to be slightly uncomfortable for the extended stay and it could have been a bit more cleaner upon arrival.

The photographs used to sell the cottage are not a true reflection of this property,
The building itself is beautiful but sad to say the furniture was of a poor quality. (Sofa)
The cottage was very cold day and night, controlling the temperature wasn’t an option other than (boost) which didn’t help.
We had an infestation of wood lice, which we was told is normal for the Cotswolds, we have stayed at many cottages in the Cotswolds over the years, and have never encountered this before. (Maybe it is I don’t know)
There was an issue with flickering lights in the bedroom, which was very annoying, after contacting the housekeeper company, they said they need an electrician out to fix this. So wasn’t fixed for our stay, (not ideal when trying to do makeup !
In summary this is a beautiful building near great pub. In a quant village, with a few interior maintenance issues that need resolving.

We stayed at Gable cottage mid November for my husbands 40th birthday, a lovely note was left along with a bottle of bubbly and cake and both were very quickly consumed! It was a lovely welcome and lovely way to start the weekend away.
Location wise, brilliant, not far to drive to all the tourist spots, local pub is great and people very friendly.
Parking is on the road but we never had an issue grabbing a spot.
Cottage is beautiful, typical Costwolds look on the outside and so cosy on the inside, lovely little front patio, great kitchen with everything you need.
We would 100% stay again and looking to book next year at some point. Thank you!

Arrived to find cottage left in a dirty disgusting state by the previous guests and housekeeping hadn't been notified for the house to be cleaned.
Found Boltholtt retreats staff unhelpful
Cottage on main road and had interrupted sleep for entire stay due to traffic, road is used as a rat run for local traffic
Parking on road park your cat at your own risk due to the high volume traffic park at your own risk.
Cottage was lovely but lacked a few necessities no mop to clean floors and a hoover would be useful if you were staying for morevthan a couple of days

Dear Annabel, Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We're sorry that the cottage wasn't clean for your arrival. The housekeeper was notified of your booking as they are with every booking, sadly the property had been missed during a busy summer period. As soon as we were notified the housekeepers attended quickly and resolved the matter. As a gesture of apology a refund was processed to you along with an apology. The parking arrangement is as advertised on the property listing. We're pleased that you enjoyed the rest of Gable cottage and it's condition. Kind regards, Bolthole Retreats

Great cottage for exploring the Cotswolds

Loved the cottage!
Perfect location in a lovely village.
You have everything you need.

If you could make the beds bigger (1.40 for the master was very small.. ) it would have been a 10 out of 10.



Loved our time here

We hade a nice stay in Gable cottage. The surroundings were beautiful and quiet.
Something that could be improved is the doghair on the couch.

Gable cottage is beautifully decorated, modern, and comfortable. We had everything we needed and the place was spotless clean and very well maintained. Lovely walks nearby and a great pub across the road. Would definitely recommend!

Thank you.

We had a lovely stay at Gable Cottage! Location wise, it is within a short drive to the major places to see in the Cotswolds. The roads aren’t busy and there was always parking available on the street outside the cottage.
The cottage itself was very clean and cosy. I would say it’s perfect for 3 guests. The kitchen had a lovely welcome note and was equipped with basic foods such as milk, eggs, butter etc. Additionally, the owners left a detailed welcome guide which was very helpful in knowing which places to visit and emergency contacts.
It was very easy to communicate with the team via email and they responded quickly.

The cottage was beautiful, and so well equipped. Lovely crisp white linen and towels. Nice little touches such as milk in the fridge, bread, butter and some cereal. Really lovely village with a great pub opposite for food. Would highly recommend. Booking was easy, and contact before was very good. Our dogs loved it. They even provide spare dog bags and bowls. Lots of great walks on the door step. A great place to explore the Cotswolds
