Northleach is just off the Roman road, the Fosse Way (A429) 8 miles north-east of Cirencester and 10 miles south-west of Stow-on-the-Wold, and about 7 miles from Burford - making it an excellent place to travel from if you're looking to visit these popular and attractive places. Northleach was at one time an important market town, celebrated throughout Europe as a major centre for the Cotswold wool trade! The fifteenth-century church of St Peter and St Paul, paid for by the wealthy wool merchants, was built with stone dug from the quarry in the town itself and what is now the Market Square. More recently the village has been used in a number of recent films, including the Casual Vacancy of 2015.

Fly screens over the doors annoying as impede a quick entry/exit especially when it's raining and bringing luggage in/out of the property. Property very warm.Instructions on how to adjust heating would be good.We had to open the sliding doors at night to be able to sleep.

Main road near by gets to you after sitting outside for a while, no tv's in the bedrooms and no live tv in the lounge due to lack of a tv license i presume. Big problems with the WiFi. If you want to leave all that behind it would be perfect for you, very private!

We were made to feel very comfortable and welcome. It does feel like someone wants you to enjoy your stay and genuinely wants to you feel at home. No corners cut. We wished we had stayed one more night. The only thing is that it didnât match the postcode given and was tricky to find. Itâs literally just off a roundabout.
