Wonderful rustic cottage
Lovely cottage with a rustic ambiance that takes you to another time, while still providing all the modern amenities you need. Perfectly situated in the center of the Cotswolds to allow easy drives to anywhere in the region. We would absolutely stay there again.

Asphodel cottage
Superb cottage, with wonderful character, enjoyed our weeks stay. Very comfortable mattress ( a must for me with a bad back!) enjoyed the luxurious ball and claw foot bath with piping hot water after a long hot day shopping in the beautiful Cotswold villages!10/10 for this cottage.
We had a few little queries which were quickly ironed out with no fuss by the owner Martin.

An enjoyable stay in a beautiful cottage
We had a lovely stay at the cottage, especially as it was in such a pretty little hamlet away from any commercialised holiday areas. Thanks for the information provided, we found it very useful. The cottage was very well equipped and tastefully furnished and decorated. Loved the royal memorabilia dotted around! Thank you for a happy few days away.

Charmingly Perfect Cotswold Cottage
We very much enjoyed our stay here and highly recommend it. The cottage was spotless and well-stocked. The owners had thoughtfully left a delicious bottle of Prosecco in the fridge, along with other treats. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was just gorgeous. My favorite part (besides the just total "adorableness" of the house) was the glorious garden out back. I spent several peaceful and rejuvenating afternoons and evenings just sitting out there soaking in the birdsongs and richly blooming flowers. It is very convenient to main roads while still being far enough off the beaten path to be conducive to scenic strolls. While we loved the character and ambiance of the stone spiral staircase, it might be a challenge for some. It and the vintage fireplace inside truly set a "going back in time" feel for the cottage - which was exactly what we were looking for. The owners are very kind and prompt with their communications. We would gladly stay there again

Idyllic country hideaway
If you’re looking for relaxation and peace then this is the ideal place to stay. The cottage is compact but has everything you need. It is full of character with exposed beams and a wood burner and it’s comfortably and stylishly furnished. There are some great walks nearby and the local pub serves delicious food. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a quite country break.

Perfect cottage in a fantastic location
We had an absolutely magical stay at this beautiful cottage and fell in love with the Cotswolds in the short time we were here. The cottage was very cosy and luxurious, we loved having breakfast in the garden seating area and having the log burner on during the evenings. This is a very special property and we will definitely be back! Thank you for making our stay so welcoming

Small and not cheap, but fine for two and beautifully restored with a simple but delightful garden
The cottage has been restored with great care and the first floor in particular is a triumph. The village is extremely friendly and convenient. We are delighted with the holiday but have two complaints and an observation. The main one is you and the disgraceful delay in the return of our deposit - over two weeks andstill awaited.
The very minor one is the Lack of anywhere comfortable to sit reasonably near to
the TV. It might be easierto have it downstairs.
The observation is that the supply of firewood was very mean - not enough for more than one night. This was not a problem for us as it was mild and we did not use the fire at all but it may well be later when it's colder

Perfect base
Beautiful;y decorated cottage with a fairytale-like outlook. If you prefer an extremely quite village, as we do, but yet a perfect base to make trips from to the South (e.g. Bath) or the North (Stratford, Bourton, Slaughter's), this is the place to stay. Tall people should take the warnings about low beams and door openings very serious, but after a few days and bumps that is no longer a problem. Kitchen outfit is very complete but the cosy Tunnel Inn is nearby if you do not want to cook.

The "thatched roof cottage" as we referred to it, is beautiful!
The "thatched roof cottage," as we referred to it, is beautiful! The cottage itself is full of character and comfort (and full of modern luxuries). The grounds and garden are beautiful--full of herbs and apple and plum trees to augment your meals. We were thrilled to have the time to relax at the cottage.

This was a beautiful cottage set in a picturesque village .
We had a five day stay and found the little touches of wine , fresh flowers and biscuits lovely . The gardens were beautiful and it was great to be able to sit out and take in the county air on the outdoor settees . The local pub was a 15 minute walk across the fields and the staff were so friendly and food great ! Felt utterly relaxed and hope to come back very soon
