What a wonderful cottage Archway House is - and with a flying freehold! We appreciated the masses of storage and beautiful things. Sezincote was sensational, as was Longborough Festival Opera - Glorious.

We've loved our time here. Beautiful cottage, all so well thought out. We're sad to be leaving. We'll be back!

Had a wonderful stay here and enjoyed this part of the Cotswolds. Definitely worth another visit to see Hidcote in a different season. Thanks!
