    We all really enjoyed our stay and the location of this property to explore the Cotswolds. The garden was a beautiful spot to relax and unwind in the sunshine after a day of exploring. We all went for local runs/walks and adored the beautiful surrounding area. Every single room was decorated beautifully, and we are envious of your bathrooms as every single one was stunning! The kitchen was so well equipped and everything was easy to find and use and the welcome pack was so generous, thank you. We all are from across the UK and we all want to return to this beautiful property with family. Only minor suggestions (this is just minor suggestion and wouldn't put us off re booking this beautiful property) We all wanted to sit together in the evening and ended up having to sit around the dining room table till bedtime or split up into the living room/snug, which isn't the end of the world, but another sofa in the living room would have meant that we could have all relaxed together. Thank you so much for our amazing stay!

    Really comfortable beds, lovely garden. Everything immaculately clean. Very generous locally sourced welcome pack which was very much appreciated. The bathrooms are amazing, great showers and big deep baths; so rare in these houses usually. Great walks, local pubs and shopping. We couldn’t recommend it more and will definitely be back!

    Everything we needed for our short stay. Comfort of beds were spot on and cleanliness of property was excellent. Such a beautiful location too and the people we spoke to(groundskeeper) were very friendly and gave us some history on the house which was very interesting. All in all after a little worry that this short break would get cancelled on us because of the size of our group, we were happy in the trust given to us and hope we repaid that back Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!
