This two-bedroom cottage is set away from the owner’s home, ensuring privacy and a relaxing stay in a peaceful location on the edge of the Cotswolds. Cotswold Water Park (5.5 miles) is easily accessible and a great day out for friends and families looking to spend a day on the water or simply enjoying one of the bars and restaurants.

Bibury (15 miles) is well known for being one of the most beautiful villages in England, a wonderful place to explore and enjoy some time together.

Head into the spacious open plan living area which is bright and welcoming. The lounge area is equipped with comfortable sofas and a Smart TV for a night in with a movie. The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need for a self-catered stay with a dining table that will comfortably seat four. There are two good size bedrooms off the main living space, one double and one twin, and a bathroom to complete the accommodation.

Head outside through patio doors from the open plan living area, and there is a patio area with outdoor furniture, ideal to eat and drink alfresco whilst taking in the wonderful views.

Lovely cottage, ideally located for exploring the beautiful Cotswolds. Cottage is lovely and clean and well equipped for all your needs. Very peaceful area and was fantastic to see the local wildlife such as foxes and deers.

The cottage is clean and neat but it is on a fairly busy road. The second bedroom smells so strongly of oil you are unable to sleep with the door closed. The garden in the picture is private so not quite as much outside room as the pictures make it seem.

Cottage was very clean and spacious. Owner was very helpful and friendly, but was unable to fix the boiler, which did not work during our stay, so we had to boil the kettle for washing up and for use in the bathroom basin. There was no heating either, so used blankets in the evening to stay warm. Luckily there was an electric shower, otherwise we wRead moreould've had to have gone home early. Hide

This little cottage was very good value for money. Perfectly placed to visit south Cotswolds area. The information book suggested Castle Combe, Lacock and Bibury, all these beautiful villages are well worth a visit. Cirencester is also a lovely town with lots of independent shops, such a refreshing change from empty shops in our towns these days. IRead moret was lovely to come back to the cottage after our busy days out, we could relax in the comfortable settees have peace and quiet or enjoy the telly. Hide

A fabulous little cottage for a couple or young family. We visited with our two little boys who absolutely loved it. Its catered perfectly for young children with a well maintained, secure outside space for playing. Its in a great location for exploring the Cotswolds. It was clean and tidy and had everything you need for a self catering holiday.

Extremely clean, tidy and comfortable with everything working as expected. The owners were available if needed but unobtrusive. There is a railway line nearby but this wasn't a problem noise-wise and we actually enjoyed hearing it go by. We would happily book this cottage again if visiting the area.
