Great location to explore the Cotswolds, accommodation very good but could have been a bit cleaner, thick dust under the bed, cobwebs and flies hanging from skylight which had obviously been there for some time.No provisions left in the fridge and no hand wash in bathroom.

Lovely setting. Good location to explore the Cotswolds. Relaxing evenings on the balcony. Very quiet village. Well equipped accommodation with good parking space. Lovely shower, good kitchen for "eating in" most evenings & we had superb weather (pot luck that one). Great place for a couple to share with plenty of breathing space.
