Our family of four enjoyed a magical time at beautiful Elephant Cottage. It was cosy yet spacious enough for us all and had everything we needed. The close proximity to three pubs and the local shop and fish and chip shop were fantastic. All so convenient and helped to make it a relaxing break for all! The cottage is well located in the Cotswolds tRead moreo visit all the key tourist attractions. We visited Diddly Squat, Bourton on the Water, Silverstone Museum and Cotswold Wildlife Park. Wonderful! Hide
