Our stay here was truly an absolute dream. From the communication with the hosts, to every part of the space itself, we couldn’t believe we were staying at such a perfect place. I would recommend staying here a million times over to friends and family looking to explore the Cotswolds and English countryside!
Comfortable cottage in a beautiful village for us to relax in. Kitchen and sitting rooms were well appointed. I am sure that the lack of a TV may be an annoyance we didn’t miss it at all. Beautiful garden with a lot of bird and squirrel action kept us entertained as we ate our breakfast. Large spacious bedrooms and bathrooms allowed us to spread out and make our own spaces. I appreciated the tub and the clothes dryer!

Fantastic Cotswold Home..garden, quiet, remote..a great place for a quiet retreat - a break from travel. No TV or Microwave.. but fabulous furnishings and linens, marvelous tub and shower.. wonderful beds..excellent host communications. Walk to the Trout farm and Swan Hotel (fine dining).. otherwise you are just secluded in the heart of the Cotswolds. We did not have a car so had to taxi from Kemble train (Kemble taxi excellent) .. 5 nights was a fantastic break in travel..good wifi - poor mobile.
