Remote village location, although an Aldi is a short drive.,Modern, compact studio apartment. Very clean. Attentive host Li. Convenient on street parking. Adequate facilities for a short stay. The lack of a TV was something I hadn’t understood but this would not have stopped me booking. Comfortable bed.

Thank you for leaving a review. I aim for 5/5 EVERY time. I am uncertain where I lost a star with your review as you marked it 4/5. You have written :- It was very clean Modern Comfortable bed You had everything you needed. Im at a loss. Surely this should be 5/5. Most guests bring a laptop or iPad/tablet and use the excellent fast speed WiFi that I provide. That is the modern way. You also mentioned that your misunderstanding of no actual tv set would not have stopped you booking. I advised we get one car per hour down my road. It is in a village. It is mentioned clearly. So I really don’t know what I could have done to achieve 5/5. It’s a mystery to me.

The room is an annex attached to a property. With its own entrance and located on a quite road. The room was small ideal for 1 or 2 people and run by a charming host. Room features a shower and toilet. The kitchenette comprises of a sink, fridge and microwave. Clean room and an ideal place to stay for Cotswolds adventures. Chipping Norton is close by for shops, pubs and eateries.

Host was amazing and responded to messages with questions leading up to our stay and checked in to make sure we were good and had everything we need. The property is perfect for one or two people using as a base, it had a microwave and fridge meaning we could make food as well as a plug in table top hob. Thank you for having us stay!!

Ideal for one person. I wanted somewhere as a base to walk in the Cotswolds (it’s 30 minutes walk from the Rollright Stones), and this was perfect.Clean and with all you need for a short break.

Glad you enjoyed it. I have tray tables. You only had to ask. I wish I had known you wanted something like this as this issue could have been so easily rectified. That’s why I always make a point of saying - if you need anything at all please let me know. If you ever decide to come back I can make sure that the folding tray tables are on hand for you.

About the host

Hosted by Linane Walker

Host profile image
I am abhorrent of smoking and will not allow smoking in my beautiful studio flat. It’s not ok if you smoke outside.
If you are a recycler like me then Im happy to point out what goes in which bin etc.

Why they chose this property

The location.
Easy reach of all Cotswolds villages but also close to a town for shopping.
Supermarkets include Marks and Spencer’s, Sainsbury’s, Aldi, and a great cooperative store that stocks all locally produced products such as cheeses, beer, bread, and much more. Lots of farm shops are nearby as is Daylesford Organics, Soho Farmhouse, Diddly Squat Farm Shop and pub owned by Jeremy Clarkson and Chipping Norton Theatre Diddly Squat shop isn’t very big.
One weekend a month my grandchildren come to stay. If the laughter of children playing which may or may not be heard offends, please let me know and you can book on one of the 40 weekends they aren’t here. Im adding this comment because a guest was offended by their laughter. 🤷🏻‍♀️

What makes this property unique

You can come and go as you please as you have your own private front door
It’s a safe quiet area. We hardly see a car all day.
The studio flat is attached to the main house. Different entry doors. It’s well lit if you come in after dark.
The flat is well kitted out. It’s not huge but when people come to the beautiful Cotswolds it isn’t to stay in bed all day. Most guests leave for the day at 7 am to see as much as they possibly can.
