Fabulous base from which to explore quintessential Cotswold villages and experience a calm, peaceful, rural ambience. Wool Loft is comfortable, clean, well-maintained and value for money. Would definitely recommend to others and re-book if I am lucky enough to return to this beautiful part of the country.

The accommodation needs a complete deep clean, a visit by a handyman, new cutlery and garden furniture. Five out of eight of the spotlights in the lounge were not working or flashing, we reported this to the owners who first told us it must have been a power surge which blew the bulbs then that the owner would come on the Sunday and replace them. The bulbs were actually missing not blown and no one showed up to replace them and we heard no more from the owners. I do have photos to show how bad it was.
