It is very comfortable and very well equipped. The bedding is high quality. Very convenient parking. The owner Charles was particularly welcoming upon our arrival and was very helpful and made the stay very pleasant. Plus, the village is absolutely lovely, quiet and typical of the Cotswolds. I highly recommend this charming place and I will definitely come back.
