Relaxing stay in a peaceful village. Excellent location for exploring the surrounding towns and Cotwolds area, lots of walks nearby.

Whilst the cottage itself is lovely, what needs to be in the description is that the front door is less than 6ft and the living room ceiling is only just over 6ft. Being 6 foot 4 tall this led to a very painful arrival on the dark and a further 5 days of having to walk around stooped over.
