Woodside Cottage is a delightful Cotswold stone house in the charming village of Mickleton. There are wonderful walks on your doorstep and two great village pubs just a short stroll away. Sleeping 6+2 guests across three bedrooms, and a fourth bedroom with a double sofa bed, which also doubles up as a snug, this lovely house offers plenty of space. The ground floor has a sociable open-plan layout with a spacious living room, dining room and a fabulous kitchen. The garage has been converted into a fun games room and outside there’s an enclosed garden with rural views.

Woodside Cottage is a gorgeous place to stay and right in the centre of a small village with two great pubs and a Morrison’s local shop within walking distance. The house is very comfortable, stylish and has everything you need for self catering if desired. We really enjoyed playing pool and darts in the converted games room and sitting round the real fire in the evenings. There are also lots of long country walks possible from right outside your front door. We ate twice at the Kings Arms which was best for food and watched some rugby and football games at the Butchers Arms which was a fabulous locals pub. They also sell good basic food which was okay but nothing special. The only downside to Woodside Cottage in our view was the sofa bed in the box room which was very uncomfortable for adults. Therefore larger groups of adults might struggle.
Otherwise everything was perfect and Anna the owner was a wonderful host and so kind.

Woodside Cottage was perfect for our family to stay and attend a wedding close by. Well equipped kitchen and very comfortable for a 4 generation family 1 yr to early 70’s. Very homely feel and location was perfect we hope we get the opportunity to return and explore the area in the future. Lovely welcome pack on arrival thank you.



A very comfortable property where we relaxed when not out and about.

It was all we could have hoped for especially the child provisions. The beds were very comfortable. It was nice to have some bread etc and a bottle of wine. Plenty of parking space for our 3 cars. All in all just what we needed for our short stay.

Lovely house, lots of amenities within the house.
No doors downstairs, which I feel is a fire risk especially with an open fire. Also states no dogs allowed upstairs, difficult without a door to any of the downstairs rooms.
Garden very overgrown, patio area dirty, found cigarette butt's under one of the garden chairs.
This is the 3rd property we have stayed at via Bolthole retreats and I found this property disappointing.
Also, the contact number for the owner is incorrect in all of the bolthole retreat paperwork. The correct number is in the white plastic folder with all of the instructions for the house/appliances.

Following the recent passing of my husband and my children’s dad we enjoyed a much needed break and we chose the perfect place, Woodside Cottage. It was perfect for us all plus our dog. Every need inside and outside the cottage was catered for including parking and a really lovely social space outside. My children loved playing pool and darts. The kitchen is stunning and all the rooms were amazing. The gift basket on arrival is a really lovely touch as is the bread and milk provided. The location in Mickleton meant we could eat out locally and was near to other places to visit.The whole process booking through Bolthole Retreats has been a pleasurable experience. I had previously booked with another company and was let down. This company is reliable and professional with some amazing places to stay on offer. I am now looking for my next place to stay.



Ideal retreat for visiting the beautiful Cotswolds and Stratford upon Avon

Well laid out roomy accommodation with all the necessary appliances/equipment to make your stay comfortable. Situated in a lovely village within easy reach (circa 30 minutes) of many attractions.
Garden quite small and website gives the impression of a much bigger space with views over the surrounding countryside. The views are there but only from the upstairs bedrooms.
Local pubs very welcoming, food in King’s Arms particularly good. Local butchers sausages a must try.
All in all a lovely stay, thank you.

We stayed at the Woodside cottage for a Friday to Sunday break. It was a chance for a group of old friends to get together. As we were travelling from around the UK the location of the Cottage in the Cotswolds was perfect.

The instructions for arrival were brilliant and the cleanliness of the cottage was perfect.

Some great little touches such as a loaf of bread and butter in the kitchen were great.

Little shop over the road and a few ace pubs all within walking distance made for a really enjoyable weekend.

We had a lovely weekend at the cottage and Anna was very accommodating with my request to arrive at the cottage earlier than normal. It was also very nice to receive a welcome hamper when we arrived.

We were disappointed with some issues i.e. the cleanliness of a kitchen cupboard, the dustbins outside were full so we had to leave our rubbish on the top of them. There were several broken floor tiles in the ensuite. There were also several dead flies on the window sills.

The feedback of the above does not reflect the lovely time we had at the property as a family.

Myself and a group of friends stayed here for the weekend recently. The house was spotless and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The Kitchen is a fabulous place for drinking and chatting and we all got involved with the darts and pool after a few gins. It was nice to share breakfast together in the large dining room and although the weather was bad there is a nice garden and patio furniture available.Parking on the drive for 3 cars was no problem and the location is a few minutes walk from several pubs and shops. A great base for exploring and we would definitely return. Many Thanks

Helpful owners let us arrive a bit early.
Maybe bathrooms could do with a refresh.

We were a family of 8 adults of which two were on holiday from Australia, a 15 month old grandson & an elderly dog,
Kitchen was well equipped with almost everything you would need.
Games room was fun & used by nearly all also came in handy to put our elderly dog in overnight.
Lovely open plan lounge/dining area, large spacious hall, bedrooms very all tastefully decorated & furnished. Great little butchers within walking distance which we used, also two friendly pubs.
House is in a good location & within easy reach Broadway, Chipping Camden Stow on the wold. Would not hesitate to return.

Great house with parking for 4 cars in a lovely friendly village. The Kings Arms is a 10 min walk and does lovely food, with a great welcome from both locals and the staff. My only issue with the house is it needs a good clean. By that I mean skirting boards, corners and under furniture, especially the sofas. There was also a couple of dirty items of cutlery in the drawer that I had to clean before using. I used to help my friend prepare her holiday home for guests at changeover and know what to check and where dirt gathers..Would definitely go back though.

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.

Had a great stay at Woodside Cottage. We were 5 adults, 2 children and a dog and there was more than enough space. The kitchen had everything you needed to be able to cook at home. Welcome hamper much appreciated. Hosts very accommodating as well. All really enjoyed our time in the cottage and would definitely recommend and return!

We stayed at this house for a weekend as a group of 8 and 1 dog. Honestly it was perfect, we especially loved the large kitchen which allowed us to cook comfortably as a group, and the beautiful lounge with fireplace where we could play games and sit by the fire. Comfort wise 3 of the rooms are a generous size, and the snug room is cozy but comfortable. There are some lovely walks that can be done from the property, or the entire Cotswold's are on your doorstep. The local pubs are charming and the food was good. If it had been nice weather we would have loved to sit in the garden and have a bbq.
We hope to return in the future for another weekend, thank you for having us!

Enjoyable weekend in Mickleton. Good walking from the front door.
Woodside Cottage was ideal for 6, plenty to do when inside, excellent kitchen space and facilities. Ample outside seating which catches the late afternoon and early evening sun. Games Room with a beer fridge was the icing on the cake!

Great location, beautiful cottage and fantastic surroundings. The cottage was super clean. On arrival a nice food basket was put together which was such a lovely surprise, along with an Easter treat for my children. The place was spacious and the games room was a big hit. I would certainly return back here again. Thanks for making this an amazing holiday.
