Beautiful cottage which had everything you needed for a comfortable stay, with stunning views. Also lots of interesting places to visit in the surrounding area of the Cotswolds.

A lovely place to stay. Very well equipped. Rob, the host, was friendly and welcoming. Chickens wander about and come to visit when you sit outside. Everything was very clean. A relaxing setting, good as a base for visiting the many attractions of the Cotswolds. We would love to return in the future.
