Property fit out needs perfectly (retired couple looking for a base for exploring the Cotswolds); quiet location with everything we needed. Two cautions: narrow winding stairs to upstairs bedroom could be challenging for some (but were fine even for an old couple like us) and parking in front could be a challenge if the folks working on the neighboring cottage are there (again, only an issue once and didn't really bother us ... just something to be aware of). Would happily stay here again in the future.
