About this property

Located on the edge of what is considered the largest village green in England, Horseshoe Cottage is a quintessential English country cottage, resting in the pretty village of Whichford. An utterly charming cottage packed with homely touches throughout, this is an ideal retreat for those looking to escape to the countryside and enjoy peace and tranquillity. Located at the junction of Warwickshire, Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire, you are only moments from some of the most popular spots in the northern Cotswolds region, including Stow-on-the-Wold, Chipping Campden and Moreton-in-Marsh. Inside, the cottage retains its wonderful period features, including large, exposed beams, a huge, romantic inglenook fireplace with a roaring fire and lovely pine staircase. Outside, your enclosed garden overlooks the village green, and is only 100 yards from the very highly regarded village pub, The Norman Knight. Just 400 yards from the cottage is Whichford Pottery, a gallery and an excellent café, serving breakfast, lunches, coffee and cakes. The award-winning Cotswolds Distillery is less than 2 miles away, with a shop and a café, if you fancy a spot of lunch - book your slot today! There are excellent walking and cycling opportunities right from the front door of the cottage, with lovely country sites and a plethora of wildlife to spot along the way. If you jump in your car you can be in Stratford in no time as well as the lovely local National Trust houses like Hidcote, Kiftsgate and Bourton House. A charming and welcoming property - you'll love this beautiful, rural retreat.

    What we really loved was the attention to the small details of what we may need. Flashlights, a warm house when we arrived, spare umbrella, nightlights, and it was done up for Christmas, puppy treats, poo bags. It was also the cleanest cottage that I have stayed in. Highly recommended. Take Wellies.

    The directions are great, as are the suggestions for things to do. Could be very cosy. We arrived 4pm Sunday evening and checked out early Tuesday and sadly most of the things we wanted to see and do, including some shops etc, are closed until Wednesday. There was no heating on when we arrived and the cottage was very very cold for the first 18 hrs until the night storage heaters came on. I did receive a note from Ken saying put the aga on but didn't get it till the second day. Not enough wood in the basket to keep the log burner going all evening, very hungry for wood, and a suggestion that more could be purchased locally. In the pictures it shows a huge log pile in the lounge which isn't there anymore. Not a helpful suggestion when staying for two nights and without heating from a 4pm check in on a Sunday. The late check in and early check out gave us only a day and a half at the cottage and for the amount we paid, £556, we were disappointed at this. Things which we noticed about the property are that the shower cubicle is tiny and restrictive, although there is a huge bath taking up half of the room, there is no area/shelf to put down toiletries for use in the bathroom within reach. In most places I have stayed there is also some complimentary shower gel or soap etc. Non here. There isn't a useful mirror in the double bedroom. In the kitchen all the bowls and dishes for use are tucked into a corner cupboard which you cannot open unless you open the washing machine cupboard door first. Not easy access for these things as a small gap. Hope this is helpful feedback

    Very clean and well presented with a decent amount of things you may need. Good walking from the door. The wood burner was excellent and we found it was very efficient in providing heat throughout the downstairs. (note there are also wall heaters throughout the cottage, the wood burner is a nice bonus, not really needed until late autumn and winter) Good location and pub nearby was usefull.
