Host is very nice, there was lots of logs for the fire, they left a delicious cake and bottle of milk for us. The cottage is nice and well located between Cirencester and Bibury / Burford. And there are beautiful walks from the cottage itself the views are brilliant. The cottage wasnt very clean especially the floors. It feels old and the floorRead mores, lamps and the sofa and should really be refurnished. There was an old mattress under the bed which isnt very standard as well. Kitchen is very practical and cute. Hide

This cottage is charming, relaxing, and just all-around perfect! We had such a wonderful time staying here. The owners are so kind, helpful, and hospitable. The cottage itself is perfect for a couple on a restful vacation, offering a charming front garden to enjoy tea or coffee and sun as well as fully-equipped rooms and a comforting wood-burning fRead moreire. Chedworth itself is a quieter village in the Cotswolds, which was exactly what we were looking for, but is also very accessible by bike (what we did) or car to all the other key tourist destinations in the area. Truly a perfect stay! We hope to be back. Hide

This property is in a lovely location. Ideal spot for exploring the Cotswolds. The owners gave us a warm welcome and were friendly and helpful with everything we needed. Cake and fresh flowers were a very much appreciated welcome to the start of our short break. The location is quiet and tranquil, an ideal place for a peaceful getaway, but withinRead more easy reach of places to eat and to visit. The bed is comfortable and we had a good nights sleep each night. The log burner and plentiful supply of logs were very welcome in the chilly evenings in April. Hide
