beautiful cottage and lovely quiet location, lots of space for 4 people, very pretty garden good kitchen but lacking basics like tea, coffee, salt, pepper etc. basic small beds but fine for a couple of days trouble contacting host for check in and check out as no answer on phone or mesage, think this could greatly be improved by a mobile number and key safe as could have been a big isue if there was a problem with the property or acces

A home from home experience. Clean, spacious and warm and in a good location to visit the Cotswolds. Friendly host and enclosed garden which was great for our dog.
