BEDROOM 1: 'The Beam Room' At the top of the house, with the original 18th Century beams above your head. Luxury king size bed.

BEDROOM 2: 'The Green Room' This room has already been renovated, with a four poster super-king-size bed, and decorated throughout in Farrow & Ball.

BEDROOM 3: 'The Bothy' Situated in a typical Cotswold Bothy which is separate from the main house, (see pictures). The Bothy is fully ensuite, with high-ceilings, satellite television and is perfect for those with accessibility requirements, with only three steps to access.

There is an 18th Century spiral staircase up to two of the bedrooms and the main bathroom. There is a stair rope for safety, but this is not suitable for people with mobility requirements. Stair-gates can be provided upon request if there are young children in the group.

Clean cottage with comfy beds. Rooms like the photographs but access from dining room to lounge and the stone staircase were a bit of a surprise. Some additional outside lighting by the Bothy would also have been helpful. Stayed as a group for a wedding at nearby Cripps Barn and this was lovely and convenient, and the Catherine Wheel pub was great for evening meals.

We had an excellent 3 nights with our family, check in was easy as information provided in advance. The location is great, super close to the centre of Bibury, plus the pub immediately opposite! Tori was on hand and responded immediately to a few questions via the Vrbo message system. Disappointed we couldn’t use the hot tub (due to hose pipe ban) otherwise all as described.

Magical, Central and Picturesque

This property was in the middle of town and very cute. It had everything we needed. Only caution: this is not small kid friendly (very steep stairs and rocks) and not ADA or for older people. But perfect for fit and mobile folks. The price was great value!

Quaint property. Close to everything in Bibury. Plenty of space to spread out with a group. Upon arrival there was an issue with the hot tub, however, the host was very attentive and took care of the matter.

Picture postcard cottage!

Lovely traditional Cotswolds cottage in a great location, just a few minutes walk up the hill from the middle of Bibury. Very tastefully refurbished & styled cottage with field walks directly opposite (as well as the handy pub!!). Super location for other Cotswolds villages and towns eg: Burford) and highly recommended village pubs for meals and country pints!! The host was attentive and lovely - which also is really appreciated by us.

A Perfect Weekend Getaway

I recently stayed at this charming house for a weekend, and it was an absolutely lovely experience for our family of four. The house is wonderfully situated, making it easy to explore the local area. Once you park your car, you can walk across the street to a cozy pub. There’s a coffee shop just two minutes down the road, an ice cream stand, a trout café, and other amenities nearby. A restaurant at the hotel and a kids' park are also within walking distance. The house itself is very clean and provides a relaxing atmosphere. While there’s no mobile signal in the area, the Wi-Fi signal is excellent both in the house and at the pub, so we remained well-connected. The hot tub was a delightful addition, perfect for unwinding. We enjoyed watching the bees and birds visiting the bee house and bird feeders while relaxing outside. If you have children, be aware that the steps inside the house are made of stone, which was a bit nerve-wracking at first. However, our kids quickly adapted and enjoyed exploring the house. The electric keyboard, guitar, and violin were fantastic additions for our musical family. Overall, it was a great weekend getaway. Highly recommended for families looking for a peaceful and enjoyable retreat.
