Cosy and warm but very spacious and well equipped. Perfect for the two of us with our labrador. Lovely hosts. Set in a beautiful village and a great base for exploring the Cotswolds.

Comfy, cosy place, all the bits and pieces you would need. Leg-stretching room for the pooches out back and a nice field across the way. Location wise, this is a great spot for taking on the Cotswolds. Bourton, Stow and the Slaughters are only minutes away. Thanks to All.

The (fully enclosed) garden is shared but you have full access to it whenever you want during your stay, which was fantastic for ease of letting the dog out when needed. I stayed here for a couple of nights and it felt like a home away from home the second I stepped foot through the door. Would definitely recommend and look to book here again in the future, thank you!
