We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful character cottage.
We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful character cottage. We had everything that we could have asked for supplied and it was great that we could take our dog. It is a bit close to the road but after a while we didn't hear the traffic all that much. We are planning another trip to The Cotswolds and if this little cottage is available we will definitely be booking out again
