Great cottage in a lovely village. Welcoming pubs, brewery and cafe. Very well equipped internally but an outside, garden light of some sort would be very helpful in darker months . Neither torch worked well either sadly, so had to use phone light.Unfortunately we were not able to get into the property as a new code had not been sent .. a neighbour was very helpful and came to help. The cottage sits in a good position to visit nearby Cotswold towns and villagesHost was contactable and provided great info on house, village etc.
