My friends and I had a lovely vacation at this cottage. We loved the cottage it had a lovely design and feel to it. The wood burner was used ever evening. It's a great base to explore the Cotswolds Winchcombe itself had a lot more to offer than we realised. I enjoyed some lovely walks on Cleeve Hill. The Royal Oak pub near by was lovely. I would definitely recommend and perhaps I'll return myself in the summer.
