Excellent stay, high standard of finish, quality and cleanliness throughout the property. Great central location for visiting the Cotswolds, which for us covered postcodes in GL and OX areas. I highly recommend this place! Thanks very much.

Great spot for groups or families
A really lovely place to stay with a perfect space for entertaining.
Our only niggle was that the pillows were pretty uncomfortable.

Lovely Christmas break
Great house in a quiet road - plenty of room to accommodate our family group of 6 adults and 3 cars. Tastefully decorated throughout. 10 minute stroll to the village centre and a Budgens store. The Wheatsheaf Inn, was a particular favourite with great food and service.

Fabulous Bank Holiday Retreat
Recently stayed with my family and sister. The spec of the cottage was very high - everything was perfectly presented and the large table in the dining area comfortably fitted us all round. A perfect base to explore the delights of the Cotswolds, I would definitely recommend.

A perfect long weekend
Hawthorn Cottage was wonderful in all respects. Could not fault the property in any way. A short walk into the centre of Northleach and the house was fully equipped . Spotlessly clean , and provided toiletries which was a pleasant bonus ! Would definitely stay again.

Simply great
Hawthorn Cottage is in a great location to explore the north and south of the Cotswolds.
It was very clean, well equipped, comfortable with good instruction on everything in the cottage.
Our party of 6 adults enjoyed our visit and strongly recommend Hawthorn Cottage and Bolthole Retreats.

A fantastic place to stay
Hawthorn Cottage is a fantastic place to stay - clean, comfortable, equipped with everything you could need and most importantly of all, it had a lovely ambience. It accommodated 6 adults, an active toddler and 2 dogs easily with room for everyone to sit and be comfortable.
Northleach is a great base - lots of walks close by and a coffee shop and great pubs.
I would highly recommend it

A very enjoyable experience
We could not be happier with the condition of the property and the facilities. This made for a thoroughly enjoyable stay, Because of the location parking whilst loading and unloading was a nit of a problem but in the scale of things this was a minor issue.

Great location and top-notch cottage
We booked Hawthorn cottage to meet up with family between Christmas and New Year. It was a great location with the centre of Northleach a short walk and within easy reach of places like Bourton on the Water. The decorated tree was an added bonus. The whole house has been furnished to a high standard and was extremely comfortable. Would highly recommend.
All very good. Beds were particularly comfortable and the house was immaculate.
Down sides which seem trivial were that the refuse bin outside was full; we would have hoovered before leaving but the hoover smelt of dog when we set it up so felt obliged to leave that. We would highly recommend the property.

We were 4 couples who stayed at Hawthorn Cottage in September. We couldn't fault anything in our stay. From the living/ dining room through to the kitchen and the bedrooms, everything was excellent. It contains everything you need for a relaxing weekend away and being able to bbq was an added bonus. It is a short walk to the pretty village of Northleach, with a couple of pubs and a quirky winebar. Highly recommended.

Stayed here with my family and bridesmaids for my wedding. It was perfect. Super light in the living area for getting ready and a really sociable space. Was great for my 18 month nephew and a really safe garden space for him. Thoroughly enjoyed and would 100% recommend.
Thanks so much!

A WONDERFUL STAY IN THE CENTRE OF THE COTSWOLD !!!
We were a group of 5 people, the cottage is located in a quite neighbourhood in Northleach. The Cabin was clean and very functional, the instructions issued post the reservation confirmation were bang on and everything worked well. The location of Northleach is quite central, you are not fare for any of the beautiful villages on the Cotswold. Burton on Water is a 10 min drive.
Overall I would recommend this place !!!!

Well-positioned for Cotswold break
Comfortable roomy house in quiet location, ideal for family and friends short stay. Further improvements would be:
choice of two different pillows ( all 8 of us found uncomfortable as very high hollowfill)
mattresses very firm, maybe memory foam toppers would help
update description re 2 parking places, as carport next to house is unusable due to residents cars parked opposite (unless maybe by a mini) - had to park further away in estate in a visitor space
Apart from those niggles, very good place to
stay and would recommend. Good showers, warm and spotlessly clean

Lovely Stay
Just returned from a 2 night stay to celebrate my Mum's 80th Birthday, 5 Adults & 2 Children & dogs. The cottage was lovely, spotlessly clean, decorated to a high standard, sofa was amazing so comfortable, beds really comfortable with high quality bedding & pillows, we all slept soundly, the ensuite bathrooms were lovely, hand soap & reed diffusers where Rituals & smelt devine. Kitchen was fitted out with all you could want. Plenty of games to keep you occupied & a lovely garden with rattan garden furniture. I would definitely recommend this property we would stay again.

Very nice house with easy access to beautiful places in Cotswolds.
Clean and beautiful house and very well equipped. Within driving distance to so many wonderful places in Cotswolds. Beds are great - could have used a softer pillow but that is independent. In the description it says that in the garden there we would find “table and chairs for 8 and a rattan sofa set”. There is no sofa set in the garden and we would have liked a sofa set very much since the weather was so nice during our stay.

Hawthorn Cottage - a family home with more than just the little extra's!
A beautiful Gloucestershire setting. Very tastefully decorated and sumptiously furnished and ideal for a family of eight! Just a short walk to the stores and pubs in Northleach. Central to visit Bourton on Water, We Fairford and even farther afield to Bath .Our daughters, grandsons and son in laws have expressed the view we should book up for next year. Surely the ultimate accolade for a well appointed holiday cottage! We do not hesitate to give Hawthorn Cottage a gold star and top rating!

A long weekend in Northleach
We booked Hawthorn Cottage for a long weekend whilst we were attending a wedding nearby.
The cottage is a modern townhouse in a quiet residential street on the fringe of the beautiful village of Northleach. The property has everything you could need and milk, tea & coffee were provided on arrival. Bedrooms were large & comfortable and having three bathrooms was a bonus.
Northleach has a lovely ‘village green’ with excellent cafe & wine bar, a village shop and two pubs. We ate in the Wheatsheaf which was excellent. The park in the meadow is also excellent for children.
The house was really nice, clean and well presented. It was the ideal base for our few days visiting family in the area.
To be a little nit-picky the accommodation experience could have been enhanced with a few minor improvements. The towels were a tad basic, so more luxurious towels would have been great. Also a little welcome hamper would have been a nice touch.
But we would definitely stay again and there are many properties we've recently stayed in where we won't be returning.

Good location
We enjoyed our stay in Northleach. The village is very pretty and has some nice places to eat and have a coffee. The house itself is in a new development which was very nice. However, on arrival we found that the house didn't seem to have been cleaned as well as we'd have expected (e.g. food splashed by the bins) and the carpet needed vacuuming. There were also lights that didn't have working lightbulbs and blinds which didn't work in one of the bedrooms. This was a bit disappointing. Hopefully these can be rectified as all in all, it's an excellent base for the Cotswolds!

Nice house
Booked Hawthorn Cottage for the weekend of my 50th birthday. We were 4 adults and 2 dogs.
House was beautiful, clean, modern and welcoming.
Secure garden was perfect for the dogs, and would be beautiful with the bi fold doors in the summer.
Bathrooms and bedrooms were all clean and modern. The kitchen was very well equipped and stocked well. We loved the dining table and chairs, very large and comfortable.
A couple of negative points were that we did find the beds a bit hard, but that’s just personal choice. The sofa in the lounge area wasn’t great. For 4 of us it was big enough to relax on, but any more and it would have been very squashed. If the house was fully occupied with 8 people there definitely isn’t enough sofa space. We found it to be very low and quite uncomfortable.
Overall a lovely well located house.
