Hawthorn Cottage is a spacious house well equipped for a very comfortable stay. It was quiet and had good access to the areas we were visiting. Great communication when we needed it. I would highly recommend this property.



Very nice house with easy access to beautiful places in Cotswolds.

Clean and beautiful house and very well equipped. Within driving distance to so many wonderful places in Cotswolds. Beds are great - could have used a softer pillow but that is independent. In the description it says that in the garden there we would find “table and chairs for 8 and a rattan sofa set”. There is no sofa set in the garden and we would have liked a sofa set very much since the weather was so nice during our stay.

Comfortable roomy house in quiet location, ideal for family and friends short stay. Further improvements would be:
choice of two different pillows ( all 8 of us found uncomfortable as very high hollowfill)
mattresses very firm, maybe memory foam toppers would help
update description re 2 parking places, as carport next to house is unusable due to residents cars parked opposite (unless maybe by a mini) - had to park further away in estate in a visitor space
Apart from those niggles, very good place to
stay and would recommend. Good showers, warm and spotlessly clean

We booked Hawthorn Cottage for a long weekend whilst we were attending a wedding nearby.

The cottage is a modern townhouse in a quiet residential street on the fringe of the beautiful village of Northleach. The property has everything you could need and milk, tea & coffee were provided on arrival. Bedrooms were large & comfortable and having three bathrooms was a bonus.

Northleach has a lovely ‘village green’ with excellent cafe & wine bar, a village shop and two pubs. We ate in the Wheatsheaf which was excellent. The park in the meadow is also excellent for children.

Hawthorn Cottage was wonderful in all respects. Could not fault the property in any way. A short walk into the centre of Northleach and the house was fully equipped . Spotlessly clean , and provided toiletries which was a pleasant bonus ! Would definitely stay again.

Recently stayed with my family and sister. The spec of the cottage was very high - everything was perfectly presented and the large table in the dining area comfortably fitted us all round. A perfect base to explore the delights of the Cotswolds, I would definitely recommend.

We could not be happier with the condition of the property and the facilities. This made for a thoroughly enjoyable stay, Because of the location parking whilst loading and unloading was a nit of a problem but in the scale of things this was a minor issue.

Hawthorn Cottage is a fantastic place to stay - clean, comfortable, equipped with everything you could need and most importantly of all, it had a lovely ambience. It accommodated 6 adults, an active toddler and 2 dogs easily with room for everyone to sit and be comfortable.
Northleach is a great base - lots of walks close by and a coffee shop and great pubs.
I would highly recommend it

We booked Hawthorn cottage to meet up with family between Christmas and New Year. It was a great location with the centre of Northleach a short walk and within easy reach of places like Bourton on the Water. The decorated tree was an added bonus. The whole house has been furnished to a high standard and was extremely comfortable. Would highly recommend.

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.

We had a lovely week away at Hawthorn Cottage. It was a perfect location, central to all the pretty and quaint Cotswolds villages. The cottage was comfortable and spacious, plenty of room for seven adults, an infant and a dog. The cottage was well kept with only a few areas that could do with some maintenance. The garden was a good size, however it was a shame that all around the edges was very overgrown from grass coming from the two neighbours gardens. On a side note the artificial grass was a lifesaver with the dog as he remained clean the whole week. The only other issue we had was that a lot of the glassware, cutlery and dinner service was dirty from previous guests. So we needed to wash everything before we could use them. Overall, we had a lovely stay at Hawthorn Cottage and would definitely recommend it to others.

This is a lovely holiday house for families. We were a family of 4 generations staying at Hawthorn Cottage, and were sorry that we couldn't stay longer. The house is well maintained and spacious, and located in a lovely village. We loved the open plan design, and the bedrooms were large and nicely decorated. None of us had been to this village before, and found it to be a very attractive village.

We enjoyed our stay in Northleach. The village is very pretty and has some nice places to eat and have a coffee. The house itself is in a new development which was very nice. However, on arrival we found that the house didn't seem to have been cleaned as well as we'd have expected (e.g. food splashed by the bins) and the carpet needed vacuuming. There were also lights that didn't have working lightbulbs and blinds which didn't work in one of the bedrooms. This was a bit disappointing. Hopefully these can be rectified as all in all, it's an excellent base for the Cotswolds!

We were a group of 5 people, the cottage is located in a quite neighbourhood in Northleach. The Cabin was clean and very functional, the instructions issued post the reservation confirmation were bang on and everything worked well. The location of Northleach is quite central, you are not fare for any of the beautiful villages on the Cotswold. Burton on Water is a 10 min drive.

Overall I would recommend this place !!!!

Stayed here with my family and bridesmaids for my wedding. It was perfect. Super light in the living area for getting ready and a really sociable space. Was great for my 18 month nephew and a really safe garden space for him. Thoroughly enjoyed and would 100% recommend.

Thanks so much!

A beautiful Gloucestershire setting. Very tastefully decorated and sumptiously furnished and ideal for a family of eight! Just a short walk to the stores and pubs in Northleach. Central to visit Bourton on Water, We Fairford and even farther afield to Bath .Our daughters, grandsons and son in laws have expressed the view we should book up for next year. Surely the ultimate accolade for a well appointed holiday cottage! We do not hesitate to give Hawthorn Cottage a gold star and top rating!

Hawthorn Cottage is in a great location to explore the north and south of the Cotswolds.
It was very clean, well equipped, comfortable with good instruction on everything in the cottage.
Our party of 6 adults enjoyed our visit and strongly recommend Hawthorn Cottage and Bolthole Retreats.

We had a lovely stay at Hawthorn Cottage, we were impressed with the quality of the property very nicely decorated and styled which is what we like. Ordinary drinking glass stocks need replenished as there was. It enough glasses for all of us to have a long drink in but that was the only issue we used an alternative it just felt odd.
The house was situated close to what we wanted to see so was perfect for our needs.
Would highly recommend the home and Danielle from Bolthole Retreats - she was amazing.

Stayed at Hawthorn Cottage as our group of 7 adults were attending a family wedding a short distance away. The accommodation was comfortable, spacious and well equipped. It was also in a very quiet location. There was plenty of parking (including visitor spaces) for our 3 cars.
My only suggestion would be an iron and ironing board. We needed to press shirts before attending the wedding but fortunately had already checked if one was provided and brought our own.

We would definitely stay again.

I stayed at Hawthorn Cottage with my family, the night before my wedding so this was a very special stay. Overall perfect property, clean, open spaces with natural light as per the photos and high end furnishings with super king size beds, fresh fluffy towels and all the kitchen amenities you could want.
My only negative would be that on arrival, the cleaners were still at the property after the given check in time and we were told that we weren’t expected until Friday (the day we were due to check out). This did cause a little stress, however I called bolthole retreats right away, who apologised for the missed communication with the cleaners and confirmed our booking - phew. After a 15/20 minute wait in the car outside, we were able to go in and enjoyed our stay.

Many thanks for a lovely stay.

Laura

Camilla was quickly and effectively responsive when no coffee pods were left. Could've done with more surfaces for toiletries in ensuite. Comfortable and spacious dining area could be enhanced with softer lighting. 5 of us were comfortable when watching TV but more than 6 might've struggled to find somewhere to sit.

Lovely modern house in typical Cotswold stone, in a really beautiful Cotswold village, Northleach. Beautifully presented, great condition, all modern comforts, good kitchen and warm. Bedrooms beautifully appointed with lovely linen and modern bathrooms. Enclosed grassed back garden - two parking spaces and also visitor parking. Easy Walking distance to village centre (even with a 4 year old and baby in pram). Fields with sheep and open countryside at the end of the street. Lovely village with church, grocery store, pharmacy, cafe, pubs - one of which has award winning food. The Wheatsheaf Inn. Some wonderful towns in easy driving distance to explore. We had a wonderful stay - the owners went that extra mile and put in a superb decorated Christmas tree for us along with a welcome box of Christmas treats.
Would highly recommend this lovely house and the website and owners are very responsive and easy to deal with.

We had a great stay in the house, the size and luxury was much higher than we expected and we all said the photos actually didn't do the home justice. It was larger than we thought it would be, and cannot recommend it highly enough.

Note for the future: If you put a decking area in the corner of the garden where it's a sun trap then the house would be complete!

A great new build in a lively quaint village. House is very well equipped and perfect for the 7 of us . Loved the fact all of us had our own bathroom .
Having full Sky HD with sport was great for our sports mad family
A spotlessly clean very modern and comfortable house in great location
2 small quibbles
All of us found mattresses very firm which would have been ok if pillows weren’t incredibly uncomfortable.
Would be good to supply a dishcloth and scourer . Every rental has always had this
Just also note on info . Says keys for back patio doors in draw when in 2nd Key Safe .
Otherwise we have a fab time with amazing weather

Weekend at the Hawthorn Cottage was nothing but exceptional. Furnishings all completed to a high standard, and the cottage was cleaned to a high level. All rooms and bathrooms were very spacious, all 7 guests stayed very comfortably for 3 nights. The communal areas were lovely especially the large dining table allowing a lovely family meal at all times, and free sky tv/netflix providing entertainment! The kitchen was more equipped than we expected - with all appliances very clean and functioning well. Check in and out process was very simple, and we were given contact numbers if we had any problems. I could not recommend this cottage and Bolthole Retreats enough - a fantastic experience and we are looking to rebook soon!
