It's a beautiful place to stay and is so well equipped. The parking and access was very easy, especially after a long drive. Got a welcoming feeling each day we returned from our days out. Would definitely return.

The village is quiet and in peaceful countryside and was ideal for an October break. It is probably the best cottage we have stayed in. In high summer the lack of garden space could be a disadvantage but there is a small paved sitting out area behind the cottage. Several National Trust properties are in easy reach and the Cotswolds close by.

The weather was hot when we stayed but the owners had provided a fan which was most welcome. Can imagine this would be a very cosy cottage in the autumn and winter months. Every room is spacious, clean, comfortable and beautifully furnished. Would definitely return as so much to see and do in the area. There was a slight problem but the owner dealt with it quickly and efficiently.
