Birthday Celebrations
We stayed here for my partners 50th birthday celebration with parents and teenagers. There was plenty of room for everyone to both have their own space and to come together. Lots of lovely touches such as books and board games and a perfect location to visit the beautiful Cotswolds. We will definitely be back!

Gemiste kans, heel goede locatie, huis met veel potentieel, grote ruimtes en tuin. Algemene staat is echter als slecht te omschrijven. Niet proper en àlles verouderd. Keuken en kookgerei vuil en versleten. Echt zonde dat het op deze manier zn geld helemaal niet waard was.

Excellent stay for my 30th
We hired the house to celebrate my 30th birthday with family. We had a great time there, the house is very cosy and right in the middle of the Cotswolds. The fireplace was perfect to relax after a day out.
