Overall a good holiday. Location of cottage is excellent, although the allocated parking is extremely tight. The 6 steps to the front door are steepish and may prove difficult for anyone with mobility issues.The cottage is warm and welcoming and the beds comfortable, lovely bed linens.A guest book would be helpful, listing useful contacts, rubbish disposal/recycling, places of interest etc. we did try to reach out to guest relations but with no response. Having such information in the cottage would cover the need to make contact.

We absolutely loved staying in this beautiful cottage. It was comfortable, warm, very well equipped and so stylish! Absolutely stunning and we would recommend to anyone. When we arrived it was gorgeously presented with a few lights on and it showed the property off as our first impresion brilliantly. Malmsbury is a historic beautiful town to visit. We would like to visit again one day. Thank you.
