Despite the bad weather, we had a wonderful stay. A lovely and comfortable place to come back to after a busy day of sightseeing. It is a very good base for exploring the Cotswolds and the beautiful cities of Oxford and Bath are within easy reach. We had a good time and highly recommend this cottage.

Only downside shower is slightly on the snug side. Lovely walks from the cottage, 2 pubs in 5 minute walk. We had a really lovely stay and will be returning in the future.

The fridge was missing a glass plate so we had to put everything on top of eachother and the little freezer was full of ice so limitied space.There were also a lot of spiders and cobwebs so not thoroughly cleaned before our arrival. We couln't not find the Bbq.These are just some small remarks but generally we had a very nice stay at the cottage it was a very cosy cottage good beds and very nice furnished in a very quiet and beautiful area.Just a walk away from the pubs Family from Belgium
