Guests say
Guests generally appreciate the well-presented, spacious cottage with a beautiful garden, set in a peaceful and picturesque Cotswold location. The property is well-equipped, especially the kitchen, and the fast Wi-Fi is a plus. Some guests mentioned a warm welcome with thoughtful touches such as treats.
The cottage is mostly described as clean, with only a few mentions of a dog smell and some hairs on the sofa. The positive remarks on cleanliness suggest a high standard is typically maintained.
The location is highly praised for its quiet, rural setting and proximity to Cotswold attractions. The picturesque surroundings and easy access to local towns contribute to a favourable assessment.
Comfort is well-regarded with mentions of super beds and a homely feel. However, some guests noted issues with draughty windows and a soft mattress, slightly affecting the overall comfort score.
Facilities are generally good, especially the kitchen, though some guests reported issues with hot water, a noisy wine cooler, and a lack of storage space. Maintenance concerns like the shower mixer and TV operation have slightly impacted the score.
While guests have mentioned welcome treats and dog-friendly amenities, there is not enough consistent detail across reviews to accurately score thoughtfulness. It should be noted that such gestures are appreciated but not guaranteed.

The house itself is beautifully secluded, but still within easy distance to Moreton-In-Marsh, Stow-on-the-Wold, and Chipping Norton for all the essentials. The welcome box of biscuits and crisps, as well as dog treats was a nice touch. The garden is a highlight of the house. Only minor gripes would be the driveway being a bit awkward to get in and out of, and the shower head in the upstairs bathroom and the lights in the kitchen being a bit low (though only due to my 6â5â frame!). Overall we were really happy with our stay here, and would happily return in the future.
