Surrounded by wonderful countryside, this cosy holiday cottage is the perfect base from which to explore the North Cotswolds and beyond. The cottage can also be rented along side The Nest at Robins Roost which sleeps a further two guests.

Lovely cottage in small village

A good base to tour the Cotswolds. Very well equipped with parking space. I have nothing more to say just making up the number of letters.

A lovely comfortable cottage in a beautiful village with great walks with the dog. The cottage was well equipped with everything we could need. Bed comfortable and sofa in the lounge lovely and comfortable.
The only thing I would say is that we had to keep the dog on the lead in the outside area because of chickens (which we didn’t see) and the broken electric gate. But it wasn’t a huge problem.

Thank you Claire for your review of Robins Roost. We are delighted to read that the cottage was well equipped and comfortable in the beautiful village of Little Rissington. It is mentioned in the finer details for the property that dogs must be kept on a lead at all times when outdoors as the courtyard is not enclosed and the owners have a flock of free range pet chickens and two cats that may be visible to your dog on the grounds. We look forward to welcoming you back to the Cotswolds soon.

Unfortunately my wife became ill and we Left on the Sunday.



We did have a problem when we arrived we could not open the premises with the Key provided. The lady who managed the property was very helpful but we could not access the property until at least 6p.m which was not convivalent after a long journey

Also finding Bobble Court proved elusive.

The property itself could not be faulted. Very clean and well maintained.

It was just bad luck my wife became ill and we had to return

Decided to take a weekend away in the country during a bank holiday and this place was amazing. Super close to all the more popular villages, and this village is also super cute, but not overrun by tourist. It’s big enough for two people. Kitchen is nice and big, and the couch is comfy enough to fall asleep on.

We had a wonderful stay at Robins Roost. The cottage is beautiful and very comfortable with great facilities. I loved the little touches too, like the books, games and biscuits. Just be careful if you cook as it does get Smokey so be prepared to open the sliding doors whilst cooking. We also took our dog and he loved his stay. We would definitely recommend this cottage for anyone wanting a stay with a pet. It is only a 5 minute drive to Bourton-on-the-water so it is the perfect location.

Lovely cottage for a couple. Easy to find and park. Very clean, and the hosts were helpful by allowing us to check in slightly early and left some basic essentials (tea, milk, washing liquid, towels etc). We only really slept/got changed as we would spend our days in Bourton-On-The-Water or elsewhere which is about 30 minutes walk away taking the shortest routes through the fields - I wouldn't want to do it in the dark.

The cottage is very nice especially the lounge/kitchen area. Upstairs is difficult if you are relatively tall being in the eaves of the building. That is made clear in the description of the accommodation but we didn't realise just how low the ceiling was. We didn't need to use the sofa as a second bed as we were just a couple. I'm not sure how the sofa bed would be as far as comfort as it appears a little old?
It is in a very convenient position and we enjoyed our stay.
The owners left us with some lovely salted caramel biscuits, a few tea bags and coffee and milk which was kind of them. Also the washing up requirements, cloth, liquid and sponge plus dishwasher tabs.

The cottage was perfect for myself, husband and our dog. Cosy, clean and warm with lots of little personal touches so it felt more like a home than a rented cottage. Bed linen, pillows and towels were all very good quality. Really good powerful shower. Well stocked kitchen, really comfy sofa and a nice big TV! The village is very pretty and approximately a 3 mile walk across fields and footpaths to Bourton on the Water where there are lots of pubs, cafes, restaurants and gift shops.
Things to be aware of: the bedroom has very sloped ceilings which wasn’t a problem for us but could be if you’re not used to that or are very tall. The outside area is not enclosed and all stone/gravel which means you can’t just open the door & let your dog out for a quick wee late at night or early morning! I think this is mentioned on the website in the description.
All in all a wonderful cottage for a couples weekend away! I would definitely stay here again.

Myself, my wife and our dog went away for a nice weekend at the cottage, the cottage is presented nicely and has everything you need!

The surrounding areas such as burford and Bourton on the water, have a lot to offer with little bakery’s and independent shops. Daylesford farm shop is only around a 10 minute drive away and is definitely worth it.

Location was excellent, perfect for exploring the Cotswolds with my partner and our dog. The cottage itself was lovely and cosy, however, the only down side seemed to be that it was in desperate need of a deep clean and some minor updating just to give it that 5/5 rating.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Cottage at Robins Roost. The cottage had everything we needed for a comfortable week away. Location is perfect as it’s just a 2 minute drive away from Bourton-on-the-Water and close to other attractions as well. Our only comments would be that the parking space is a little tight if you are bringing a larger car, and check in time of 5PM was a bit later than we had planned. We couldn’t do much before as didn’t want to leave our car anywhere when it had our luggage inside!
All in all a lovely stay for enjoying a week in the Cotswolds.

This property was ideal for us and lacked nothing. All very comfortable. It is advertised as 'dog friendly' and although we are the owner of a dog we did not bring her along on this occasion. I think this was a good decision as we felt it isn't really suitable for a dog, as there is no small outside space where a dog can be left free to wander. And we got the impression dogs were tolerated rather than welcome. The doors would always need to be kept closed when in the property with a dog and they would need to be on a lead at all times if in the shared outside area. This would quickly become tiresome. Other than that- we loved the property and the surrounding areas.

We had a great stay at Robins Roost - perfectly located for lots of great walks straight from the doorstep. The cottage is well equipped and more than big enough for a couple and a dog. The wifi is fast, really powerful shower, nicely heated and comfortable bed. Overall the property was clean although there were quite a few cobwebs around which could have been easily cleaned hence the 4 for cleanliness, although didn’t bother me too much. Overall we had a fantastic stay, thought it was great value for money and would return. Thanks for a lovely visit!

The cottage was in a perfect location, really peaceful with no road noise. Ideally situated for driving to many areas within the Cotswolds, and within walking distance to Bourton on the Water across public footpaths which was ideal for us with our dog. The cottage itself is very well equipped, particularly the kitchen as I often find with these places that plates and glasses etc are limited, and plenty of cooking utensils. Really liked the open plan layout downstairs as it was sociable. The bed was comfortable and a king-size so plenty of space - do bear in mind that upstairs has low ceilings though. Small shared courtyard outside which was lovely, a little too cold for us to make use of but ideal just for letting the dog out in the evenings.
Some small negatives - when we arrived on the Friday night the cottage was cold; there is a note in the pack asking guests to turn off all radiators when they leave, but it appears the cleaning team do not turn them back on so it isn't the warmest of welcomes in cold weather! Also we had stated that there would be a third guest with us - the downstairs sofa is also a sofa bed and there were spare duvets and pillows in the cupboards, but no spare bedding. Thankfully he was only staying with us for one night, but it seemed a little strange that this was not prepared for as we had informed in advance that we would need the sofa bed.
I would recommend the cottage to others, and we thought it was very reasonably priced for the quality and location of the property.

Thank you for sharing your lovely review, Chelsie, it’s great that you found The Cottage at Robins Roost to be well equipped and ideally located for exploring the Cotswolds. We’re sorry you found the accommodation to be cold on arrival and will share your feedback with the property Owners, thank you for making us aware of this. With the rising utility costs, Owners are having to be more mindful of their costs especially as a property can be empty between bookings but thankfully with the weather getting warmer, this will be less of an issue over summer. The sofa bed had been requested for your stay and I’m really sorry to hear that this has not been properly prepared by the housekeeping team. For anything like this, please always contact the property manager listed in the welcome letter at the time of your stay, they’re on hand to help and aim for all guests to have a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Overall, we’re pleased you had an enjoyable stay and hope that you will be back to visit the Cotswolds again soon.
