We thoroughly enjoyed our time a Yew Tree Cottage. We shopped at the nearby grocery store in Stow-on-the-Wold and prepared breakfast each day for our family of five in the large and well appointed kitchen. The cottage was clean, very comfortable and large so we had room to spread out and relax. The cottage is centrally located in the Cotswolds which made it a great base and was also within easy driving distance of Oxford. We would love to return in the summer when we could enjoy the pretty courtyard garden. We highly recommend this cottage and will book again when we return.

An idyllic cottage in the Cotswolds, the photos don’t do it justice. The location of the cottage is ideal being c.10 mins to all the key spots - Broadway, Stow-on-the-Wold, Bourton on the Water and the cottage has everything you need. The beds, linen and towels all feel luxurious and really feels like a holiday treat. I would happily recommend it and love to return one day!

We had a wonderful long weekend in this gorgeous, spacious cottage. It has all the traditional cottage features you would expect but does not feel cramped at all.

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, kitchen and therefore size of guests expected, it would be great to have more bakeware, knives set, etc - had to essentially use every pan, dish, cooking ware each time we cooked a meal.

Overall would definitely recommend staying here - just ensure the cleaning crew has provided the essentials!

We recently spent a wonderful family holiday in Yew Tree House, Longborough. We had a super time in a beautiful house, everything was very comfortable, very well equipped and beautifully furnished. Beds and linen were immaculate. The house has a courtyard garden with lovely furniture which we were fortunate enough with the weather to use most days. The location is ideal for exploring the Cotswolds. The staff at Bolthole retreats were friendly and helpful when contacted. We will definitely return.

We had a lovely stay at Yew Tree Cottage, an idyllic, spacious Cotswold home located as a great hub to explore the Cotswolds. We stayed as two families with 5 kids and never felt ontop of eachother. Every room in the cottage had the wow factor and it felt very luxurious. I spoke to Paddy over email he was very quick to reply and helpful. We would definitely stay again. Thank you for a lovely Easter stay.

Yew Tree Cottage is a wonderful, spacious and beautifully renovated holiday cottage. We thoroughly enjoyed our week in this gorgeous cottage with fabulous living and kitchen/dining areas, off street parking, and we loved the fireplace!! Located in a friendly small village with a great local pub, nearby to many 'must see' villages. We definitely recommend this holiday cottage. Communications with the owner were always very quick and helpful. Thank you for a wonderful holiday!

8 adults and one baby stayed comfortably, although the two single beds are small in a tiny room. The master suite is gorgeous but beware of extremely low ceilings and steep staircase.
Although the house was generally very clean, I spent a while with the extendable duster removing most of the ceiling cobwebs throughout the house. I did however leave the kitchen ones for Halloween!
Caution with the boiling water tap, there needs to be a warning sign.

We had the pleasure of staying at Yew Tree Cottage for five days in Summer 2022. The property was fantastic, and far exceeded our expectations based on the description and pictures.

The property felt even bigger than we were expecting based on the pictures, and it was meticulously cleaned throughout. The location was fantastic -- very close and accessible to popular towns like Stow, Bourton and Moreton-in-Marsh while itself set in a serene village with lots of fantastic walks nearby (and a great village pub!).

Would not hesitate to rebook at Yew Tree Cottage, and highly recommend this property to others. We had a very memorable few days!

Firstly, the property itself: If you think it looks nice in the photos, in real life it is utterly beautiful. It's a seemingly impossible mix of old and new, cosy and spacious, rustic and contemporary. Located in the heart of a quiet, quintessentially Cotswolds town which isn't a through-road so has all but no traffic. Longborough has a great little shop and local pub, and is only a short drive from many popular towns and attractions.

Secondly, the property management company: After various stays throughout the Cotswolds in recent years, properties by Bolthole Retreats are in my opinion a major step on from other property management companies. The presentation, cleanliness, little touches and the properties themselves always exceed expectation and make a break away even more special.

We come to the Cotswolds area maybe 2 or 3 a year on our own or with family and we always have a lovely time. We stop in different places in the region sometimes in hotels , sometimes in cottages. This was our second stay in Longborough and our first stay at Yew tree cottage which was excellent for us and the family. Longborough is a very nice little village with a good little shop and friendly pub just a very short walk away. Good walks in the immediate area if you like walking and very central to get round to the different parts of the Cotswolds from.
