We had a fabulous stay in this well equipped house which was beautiful. As a family of 8 adults, 4 couples, there was plenty of room and space. A great pub across the road and they did excellent food. We wanted to stay longer as only there for 2 nights but would definitely return.

Dear Leanne, it was lovely having your group to stay. Thank you for leaving the cottage so clean and tidy. The housekeeping team really appreciated it.
I do hope we can welcome you back again, it is a glorious area, with so much to see and do. We also have a smaller cottage in a nearby village, should you plan a smaller group get away. It is called Culls Cottage, Southrop. Take care Chris
I am so glad you enjoyed your stay at The Chestnuts, it was lovely having you and your guests to stay and thank you for leaving the property so clean and tidy.
Take care and I hope we can welcome you back another time. Kindest regards Chris
Stunning home with beautiful garden in picturesque quiet village
We had the most wonderful stay in the Chestnuts. The village is perfect and quiet. When I booked, I was a little worried about noise, being on the road with a pub across the road. But we didn’t hear a peep. So peaceful and picturesque. The house had everything we needed and more. Lovely garden to enjoy and multiple breakout lounge areas inside. Very well equipped kitchen. Fantastic tea and coffee facilities provided and high quality bathroom products. Very central to see the Cotswolds. Highly recommend!
The stay was lovely but we only stayed for one night... The house was great. Very clean and and lovely. lots of information available about the area. lots of additional books and games for children. All very well organised. The house owners were very kind and let us stay until mid day . They were very welcoming and had a bottle of champagne waiting for us...
