A short car journey to Cheltenham will lead you to The Gardens Gallery, exhibiting local artistic work, enjoy a picnic upon Imperial Garden, or perhaps plan your route up Devil's Chimney. Travelling towards the county, reach the bustling city of Gloucester, where visits to National Waterways Museum Gloucester, the docks, and Alney Island Nature Reserve are a must, whether you're into history or the outdoors. No 1 Eastington is the ideal base, whether you're looking to simply visit or explore The Cotswold.
Northleach is located right off the Roman road, the Fosse Way (A429), 8 miles north-east of Cirencester and 10 miles south-west of Stow-on-the-Wold, and around 7 miles from Burford, giving it an ideal starting point for visiting these popular and attractive destinations. Northleach was formerly a bustling market town known across Europe as a significant hub for the Cotswold wool trade! The affluent wool merchants paid for the fifteenth-century church of St Peter and St Paul, which was erected using stone taken from the town's quarry and what is now the Market Square. The village has recently been featured in a number of films, notably the 2015 film Casual Vacancy.

CIA had to call to disable the alarm and reset. The directions to the property were not accurate as the lane had a left turn which hid the cottage and we went straight on where it was hard to turn around.

1 Eastington. The cottage was wonderful and in a lovely position as described. There was everything you needed provided for. My bed (the double) felt luxurious with crisp white sheets and bedding. The cottage was very clean. Only a couple of issues; the first one was the Internet, fantastic speeds the Saturday, on Sunday it went down and no amount of rebooting would correct it. This is not a big deal and we did not come away to sit on the Internet all weekend, but just thought you should know. The second issue, there was no welcome pack. In the holiday details it said all the properties had a welcome pack with all the info we needed. So we were not too sure about where to leave the rubbish, where to leave the dirty linen, towels etc, and we struggled to find the Internet code and initially how to use the big oven. We were not sure about the key fob and security system so we just left well alone and hoped it was OK. Also knowing emergency numbers like local doctor etc would have been a useful back up. So we just used our common sense and got on with it. But overall the holiday was fantastic and we loved our stay. The two issues above did not spoil anything. It was so peaceful and the perfect getaway.

The garden garden was inviting and well stocked including some gorgeous roses. The kitchen had absolutely everything you could ever want to prepare a large dinner to then enjoy in the attractive dining room. The whole cottage was absolutely spotless, unfortunately there is no house guide to tell you what to do in an emergency, or how to use the cooker etc, neither was there any up to date information on the area and footpath guides would have been nice to have. I found the single bed rather narrow and high but very comfortable . Lots of personal touches which made the cottage nice and inviting so l would love to go back. There was an unfortunately a bad leak but all praise to Sykes for dealing with it very swiftly.
