Great time here. Lucky to have a week of good weather. Glad the hay was safely baled before any rain came. Well placed for several Cotswolds villages and National Trust properties. Cottage was clean and had all the facilities we needed. Laundry right by the cottage.

Lovely cottage, great peaceful location. I used it as a base when I came down from Newcastle for my sons graduation at Warwick University, and it was an easy 35mins drive away.

Gorgeous area and the cottage was lovely very cosy and comfortable. We only had lunch out and cooked every night as the kitchen was well stocked and clean Lovely walks around the area, and the Falcon Centre is a must. As our car is electric and charging points were a bit few in the area, Anita did not hesitate to let us charge the car there at the Read morecottage she made our holiday with her kindness. I would highly recommend this cottage for a relaxing holiday or not whatever you like... Hide

Comfortable and clean; there is a step up to the sitting room and one down to the bedroom and to avoid absent mindedly tripping, I placed a chair in my path - no problems! All equipment good and the fridge has a decent size freezer compartment. Most importantly, the bed was comfortable.
