This cottage was ideal in every way, charming, quaint, loaded with every amenity we could need, and several thoughtful details provided by Tricia and Rob. The views at all times of the day are stunning and peaceful. We visited many other villages, took a day trip to bath and Stonehenge, and went for a delightful walk around the common.

Thank you for your kind comments. Yes the cottage is back to front so that almost all the windows and double doors look out at the views of the Golden Valley. We are still waiting for the leaves to turn, as the view moves into the season of rich autumn colours!

The Cotswolds is around 100 miles from north to south but this area has become know as the "undiscovered Cotswolds" and is great for eating out , for its artisan community, individual shops, its award winning farmers market and own quirky festivals and places to visit. I love to think that guests stay to experience some of the real life Cotswolds but can return to somewhere to relax and enjoy the views!...so pleased you all enjoyed it. Tricia

This cottage is exceptional in every respect. Inside the rooms have been decorated and furnished imaginatively; the kitchen is very well equipped and the beds are SO comfy.

The glorious view and sitting areas! Everything was beautifully put together with special touches, a well-supplied kitchen, nice welcoming basket, and quality furnishings. We really enjoyed our conversations with Tricia and appreciated her helpful insights about this lovely area and good walks that can end at Winstone's ice cream. Walk to the Felt cafe and sit outside by the stream. A top-notch cottage stay.

Yes those uninterrupted views are "quite" special arent they? Luckily there are so many great eateries in walking distance that you can just leave the car behind. We have tried to make the cottage a home from home, with a sense of style & quality -a place to Rest & Relax and Recharge
