Notes
- Kids will love the space indoors and outdoors that this cottage has to offer. With lots to occupy them with games, indoor playhouse & pretend cooking to a climbing frame with a slide and swing set in the large garden. [The garden does have a pond at the far end, which is screened off (we have youngsters, so we know the concerns!)]. If they need some down time, then there is a dvd player; some kids dvds available to watch; free view with cbeebies; WiFi is also available. If you have a little one, then there are some bath toys, a high chair and a travel cot to use. When the garden is in season, there are different fruits (apples, pear, rhubarb, gooseberries, black/red currants, plums, raspberries) & fresh herbs. Everyone loves a fresh bit of veg or fruit on their plates, picked by their own hand, so do help yourself. Unfortunately, we can't have pets of any kind, due to the owner being highly allergic.

great cosy cottage with amazing garden
lovely spacious cottage. Beautiful large garden . great for older kids- lots of games/table football/ swings and slide in the garden. Great communication with owner..very helpful. will re-visit!!
Great place to celebrate a family occasion
I booked Green Cottage to celebrate my 70th birthday with the family. It is in a great location for visiting the local area. The cottage is well-equipped and very comfortable. To stay in such a place with its interesting (but sad) history was a special experience. I wholeheartedly recommend Green Cottage and would love to come again.
Idyllic stay in the Cotswolds
We stayed here over the August bank holiday weekend. 4 adults and 2 children. Rooms are bigger than they look online. The family room is very comfortable with a beautiful bathroom with a bath overlooking the garden!
Downstairs is very big, the utility is so handy, kitchen functions very well, loved the Everhot range! We picked apples from the orchard and made a delicious apple pie one evening!
We had amazing weather and the children (7,3) really enjoyed the garden! Football goal, climbing frame and slide, and swings! And trees to climb! It’s a wonderland for kids!
The village is lovely, very quiet, nothing there except the pub where we had an evening meal and it was really excellent!!
Overall a truly great stay in a well equipped house.
Most enjoyable family week away.
Green Cottage is a very central location for all the Cotswold beautiful areas to visit. It lies in a very quiet location and the garden is extremely tranquil. We enjoyed BBQ's and al fresco dining most days, we even had breakfast on the patio which was most enjoyable. The cottage lacked NOTHING there was everything we possibly needed (including an apron which served me all week as I am very messy at the cooker).
The 3 children in the party loved the football table in the sun room - as did the adults, we had tournaments most days.
It was such a relaxing cottage, Grandma & Grandad had a separate bathroom and mum & dad and the children enjoyed their own bedroom and ensuite bathroom/shower room. The sitting room was a little dark but we hardly spent any time in there and it was comfortable if you did want quiet time. All in all the whole family had a splendid holiday in a beautiful stone built Cotswold cottage set in a gorgeous location.
Large Family Cotswolds Cottage
We love the Cotswolds and booked Green Cottage as a surprise for my wife's birthday... she loved it, if fact the whole family loved the cottage. There are lots of rooms and space for the children to investigate and play in (mine are 10, 11 & 13) and they enjoyed the games room, especially the table football! The weather didn't allow us to spend much time in the garden (swings, climbing frame and football goal), the flip side is that we could spend more time enjoying the cottage. The cottage is family friendly with lots of nice touches everywhere, e.g. toys and games for the children. The well equipped kitchen allowed easy cooking and the sofas and beds were very comfortable. --- and all only 3 doors away from the pub, what more could you ask for. We very much enjoyed our stay and would thoroughly recommend Green Cottage, we would certainly like to return. Thank you!
Lovely cottage and super garden for kids
Loved our stay here. Beautiful house well-located for day trips and the cottage was well-equipped for children and grown ups. Just beware the range for tinies! Amazing garden which we really made the most of. Would go back.
Map
Great Rissington is in the heart of the cotswolds located neatly between the three jewels of the Cotswolds, namely Stow on the Wold, Bourton on Water and Burford. There is so much to do and see. There's The Slaughters, Bourton on Water (Maze, Birdland, Model Village, Car Museum), Barringtons (Annual Gifford Circus), Batsford Arboretum, Cotswold Farm Park, Cotswold Wildlife Park, Bibury (Trout Farm). Or easy day trips to Oxford, Bristol, Bath, Stratford, Cheltenham (races), Warwick Castle, not forgetting the huge amount of Roman history in the area. Or perhaps old houses are your interest. There's Blenheim Palace, Sudley Castle to name just a couple. And if you don't want to sightsee, the countryside lends itself to lots of wonderful walking - it's a great way to see and appreciate the Cotswold landscape and you can walk right from the front door of the cottage - no need to get in the car!
