About this property
3 Painter's Field is a lovely, recently built cottage (part of a small development of about 10 houses) located in the idyllic village of Quenington, mid way between Burford and Cirencester. One of 3 adjoining villages (the others being Hatherop and Coln St Aldwyn), you really could be stepping back hundreds of years as you meander along the leafy lanes connecting the villages.
The cottage possesses many classic and attractive features making it a delightful choice for a Cotswold holiday. Comprising of 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, the property offers all mod cons that today's discerning traveler demands. The cottage has a lovely, private garden, just perfect for outdoor dining.
As well as the adjoining villages, you also have many of the The Cotswolds 'hot spots' in close proximity; the beautiful village of Bibury lies just a couple of miles away, with the famous Arlington Row. Cirencester, the 'capital' of the Cotswolds lies just 8 miles to the west, and the gorgeous town of Burford just 10 miles to the north.
This is a nice standard holiday cottage in a very attractive village, in a beautiful and relatively unknown corner of The Cotswolds.
The place-name 'Quenington' is first attested in the Domesday Book of 1086, where it appears as Qvenintone. This is from the Old English 'Cwenenatun' meaning 'the women's town or settlement' (the word 'queen' has the same derivation).
It had previously been suggested that the name Quenington could have meant "settlement on the Coln", the river which flows through the village, though the name 'Coln' is of unknown origin.Quenington is mentioned in the Domesday Book in relation to two mills at either end of the village, a water mill and a fulling mill, both now private residences.
The village offers a thriving 'local' pub, located just off the village green - intent on maintaining its status as a proper pub, rather than a fine dining establishment, which are so prevail ant in the area.

We especially appreciated the cupboards full of toys in the living room - our toddler loved exploring them on rainy afternoons! The kitchen was well-equipped, but there were one or two cleanliness issues when we arrived (an unwashed mug on the shelf, and the kitchen table needed wiping). The location is ideal for young families - so many farms and soft play centres within easy reach. The folder at the cottage mentions a stairgate, which seems to have been removed. For us, that would have been a helpful addition. Thank you for a lovely stay

It helped with our weekend plans enormously. Although on the whole the house was left clean and tidy, I think it is important that the owner is aware of the following:- On arrival we found an empty bottle of water on the floor under a side table in the living room. There were several strands of long black hair on the floor of the bathroom which meant that the floor had not been cleaned [they have been left so that you can see what we are referring to], and after the second time of using the shower in the en-suite shower room, we realised the waste pipe needed cleaning out as the water only drained away very slowly [more slowly than it rose], and we were concerned that it was going to go over the lip and onto the shower room floor and potentially seep onto the bedroom floor and of course that could have caused a lot of problems. So that is something that needs looking at urgently. For the rest of the week we used the shower in the bath. No doubt it is difficult to obtain good cleaners, but a bit more attention to detail and better supervision of the cleaning that takes place, would go along way.

We also had to drive everywhere as there wasnât a local shop for little things. The cottage was really big, but there wasnât much storage, especially in the kitchen as there were so many utensils! We loved visiting the lakes, local attractions and villages. We spent a lot of time in Cirencester as there was plenty of choice for eating out with the children, however, it was also lovely to eat out in the garden at the cottage and enjoy the visits from the local squirrel!
