We had a lovely girls weekend at Oakdale Lodge, the location was perfect for autumn canal walks. The cottage was spotless and well equipped. The only reason it didn’t get 5 stars across the board was that the WiFi wasn’t great throughout the house, which was only a downside for us as one of our party had to work from her phone whilst there. But other than that I can not find any fault. Would absolutely recommend :)

Brilliant location for touring Cotswolds as it is near the motorway despite being very rural. Lovely walks along the canal.Very well equipped. A great family home
