Lovely place to stay. Pleasant area, clean, well equipped , nicely decorated and furnished plus obliging hosts.The reason for the 4 stars was an issue with the heating. We arrived during a cold weather period and the bedroom radiator wasn't working. It was very cold that night and we were provided with a portable radiator the next day. It was just unfortunate that the weather temperature had dropped to 0°C and the heating system seemed to struggle to warm up the accomodation.However, all in all, it was a lovely place to stay and I expect its lovely in the summer.

I would highly recommend hurdlemakers loft, great location, light and airy and clean. Lovely view over the allotments to the hills I watched the sunrise every morning while staying there

This accommodation was well appointed and had everything you needed except a medium sized saucepan. When we found a tin opener broken it was replaced quickly. The only comment is that the floors throughout could have done with a sweep and mop as we found them gritty. It was a good location for getting to many places within The Cotswolds.
