Lovely secluded, cosy cottage. Excellent location and the village was brilliant for eating out. I can recommend the pie and mash at the Swan. The accommodation had everything we needed and was very comfortable.

This the second time that I stayed in this property. It is full of character… a bit like going back in time 100 years with a nice fire place … but with modern facilities like dishwasher and TV. Lechlade is a lovely place with nice pubs and walks by the Thames. So location is good too

Great cottage and location

Our second stay here and as great as the first time. Very close to shops and cafes/pubs and even a playground for children. The cottage is clean and had everything you need, including a beautifully kept garden. Great value for a weekend in the countryside!

A lovely cottage in the neighbourhood of the Cotswolds. We liked to eat in the garden, to explore the surroundings of the Cotswolds and the Thames and the kitchen is well equipped. There is a washing machine and a dryer.

Lovely cottage in great location

We really liked the cottage, it was perfect for us as two friends together. We really appreciated the little extras that were left. It was very quiet although central to Lechlade. Parking was in the street but we found somewhere each day for two cars. Highly recommend this cottage

Charming stay in an excellent location

The cottage was a lovely place to stay for the week. The kids enjoyed having their own room with separate beds. The cozy garden was just what we needed after the long trip across the pond. It is well located, within a 3-5 minute walk of grocers, butchers, and pubs. Take a 15 minute stroll down to the Trout Inn if you get a chance, it sits right on the Thames and the staff is very friendly.

Best visit ever!!

We fell in love with the cottage immediately. It was just as pictured, but somehow more lovely and charming in person!! Julia was so proactive and kind. Parking on the main street was very easy and Lechlade was a fantastic central spot for exploring the Cotswolds. We hope we can visit again soon!!
