Guests that stayed at this property said

The majority of guests found the cottage to be spotless and well-maintained, contributing to a luxurious and comfortable stay. One isolated report of cleanliness not meeting expectations was noted, but this appears to be an exception rather than the norm.

The cottage's location is consistently lauded for its picturesque setting and proximity to local villages and attractions within the Cotswolds. Guests enjoy the seclusion and the easy access to nearby points of interest.

Reviewers frequently mention the comfort of the cottage, highlighting the cosy fire, comfortable beds, and the overall homely feel. The spaciousness and the views from the bedrooms also contribute to the high level of comfort experienced by guests.

The facilities, including the well-equipped kitchen, books, games, DVDs, and especially the indoor pool and steam room, receive high praise. The maintenance of these facilities is noted as excellent, with only a single mention of a desire for a deeper clean.

Guests are delighted by the thoughtful touches such as welcome hampers containing treats like wine, bread, and scones. While these gifts are greatly appreciated, it is important to note that such amenities may vary and are not guaranteed with every stay.

    Excellent cottage for a visit to the Cotswalds. The cottage is beautiful and was spotlessly clean. Lovely welcome pack and helpful host. Indoor pool was huge added bonus for the whole family, especially as it was a rainy week. We enjoyed particularly a visit to nearby Chedworth Roman Villa with its amazing mosaics.

    We had a lovely time in this very comfortable cottage. We, six adults, were cooking seriously and there was plenty of equipment. The swimming pool is a treat ,especially on a gloomy wintery weekend. We have already booked to go again next year. Northleach is not far away and hasg ood shops, pubs and cafes.
