Wonderful stay in a quality cottage

Excellent break in this comfortable homely cottage. Parking space a plus. Walkable to Burford. Private garden. On the main road so traffic noise may bother some.

Short Break in the Cotswolds

Excellent location, for visiting and exploring the Cotswolds. Off road parking was a bonus. Quiet location, even though the Reading Room is next to a main road. Would certainly book again, next time we visit the Cotswolds.

Wonderful location with comfortable beds and a well appointed kitchen. The house was perfect for the two of us and we loved being able to walk into Burford for breakfast or dinner. The pub just up the road was excellent. We would certainly stay again! It was an easy day trip by car to Stonehenge, Oxford, Leicester, Bath, and London.
Cozy and charming!
The kitchen was well appointed.
The walk into Burford takes about 5 minutes
Burford is perfect for diner, shopping, and walking

Excellent location - nearly perfect

Cottage is in a great location and had all the amenities you could ask for. However it was starting to look a little tired and could do with a lick of paint in places. The cottage was value for money but this was due to its location.

Lovely Stay

It was absolutely lovely to stay in this lovely, comfortable, and walkable cottage, with off-street parking. The hosts stopped by and introduced themselves and they were so kind. The garden was a great place to be and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay!

Beautiful cottage in a great location.

The most beautiful Cottage in a great location. We loved our break at the Reading Room The cottage is tastefully decorated and so quiet and peaceful. Spotless accommodation and the decor is fresh and yet so cosy. Just a ten minute walk into Burford with it’s charming restaurants and cafes. So much history to discover and loved visiting the small villages nearby and the walks through the fields. The perfect cottage winter or summer, highly recommend as the owners have put a lot of thought into making this cottage the perfect home from home.

Enjoyed our stay

Good location for exploring and discovering the Cotswolds. The cottage was clean and comfortable and had a lovely secluded garden. The only downside comment we would like to make is that older people or people with disabilities might find it a bit of a struggle to climb into the high sided bath!

Good enclosed garden

The enclosed garden was a real asset. The cottage was sparkling clean and tastefully decorated. Being of a certain age it would have been beneficial to have a slip proof mat for the bath.

Delightful comfortable bolt hole with good access to amenities.

We very much enjoyed our short stay at The Reading Room. It has been carefully renovated by Bob and Jane who made assiduous efforts to ensure we were comfortable. The cottage is one of the better equipped self catering cottages we have stayed in. On the edge of Burford it has great access to the town's amenities via a 5 minute walk but without the crush of visitors.

Ideal position

Ideal position just a short walk into Burford and 100 yards from a very good pub. Beds are super comfy and the whole feel of the cottage is cosy. The accommodation is well equipped and clean. It is a great base for exploring this part of the Cotswolds with some great walks, spectacular villages and Blenheim Palace all within a short drive.

Perfection

I think the title says it all. The Cottage is perfect, impeccably furnished, with the availability of all the comforts. The area is very central and allows you to visit all the main places of the Cotswolds. Me, my wife and my little girl spent 5 wonderful days, also thanks to the availability and kindness of the owners Jane and Bob who were present right away and did everything to make us feel at home and to give us advice on what to visit during the day... imagine that the little girl did not want to go back to Italy, she would have preferred to stay with Jane!! We will definitely come back... we haven't had such a pleasant and relaxing holiday in years!! THANK YOU!!!

Relaxing and comfortable base for exploring

Thank you so much for sharing your delightful Reading Room with us. Comfortable beds, dark bedroom curtains, and all the amenities we needed with a short walk into Burford and access to lovely hiking trails. We really enjoyed your various recommendations including Blenheim Palace, dinner at the Lamb Inn in Shipton-u-Wychwood, and most of all the short walks to lunch at the Carpenter’s Arms.

Lovely property in great location

Once again we found the Reading room an excellent place to stay. Its location allowed us to get to several places of interest in the area - the villages, Blenheim Palace and Diddly Squat (which lives up to its name by the way!) The Property itself is furnished beautifully and very clean. The kitchen is well equipped and the bed comfortable. Off road private parking is right by the property and the friendly owners live opposite. Booking through Stay Cotswold was straightforward. We would stay here again.
