A wonderful cosy house, extremely well equipped with everything we needed for all 17 of us. We felt so relaxed and at home and enjoyed a number of lovely walks, the kids especially enjoyed the monument. Thank you to Susannah and Ian for creating such a lovely space for us all to come together and celebrate my mother's birthday. We will be recommending Cotswold House to others!
Susannah was excellent to book with. Great comms and wanted to ensure that our stay was enjoyable. The house is beautiful and we were celebrating my wife’s birthday. Great local 15 mins walk away.
A lovely spacious house that is luxuriously furnished. We had a wonderful family weekend enjoying the house and the local area. We can thoroughly recommend this property.
Perfect venue for 70th bday party. We enjoyed the hot tub and plenty of games for the kids. Comfortable, cosy rooms and large dining area. Close to Tyndale monument for a lovely walk with stunning views! Susannah was always responsive and offered lots of tips/help leading up to the weekend. Thank you again.
Absolutely beautiful house and a fantastic stay! Communication with the host was amazing very helpful recommendations and helped out with all of our questions and queries.
Couldn’t recommend more, the bride even wants to come back for a family stay!

We enjoyed our trip very much. Lovely house. My only comment would be that the mattresses need replacing. We found them quite uncomfortable! The trip was very suitable for our family. The children loved it.

Dear Patricia
We are very pleased you enjoyed your stay with us.
We receive many comments both personally and also within our written reviews from guests saying how comfortable our mattresses are but we are sorry we couldn’t cater for your specific orthopaedic requirements.
It’s hard for us to offer a range of mattress choices but as they are of medium firmness (as well as relatively new) they seem to cater well for the majority of our guests and of course we review them regularly.
Our best wishes & kind regards
Susannah
Even better than home!
Gorgeous property, perfect place to relax with friends - in the hot tub or one of the big communal areas. We had a wonderful time, thank you
This property is amazing, the perfect size for our group of 11 adults and 6 kids. It has everything you need would highly recommend this property. The host Susannah was very friendly and helpful.
A beautiful comfortable home in a picturesque location. Very well equipped with bonus of a hot tub! Great walk from the door up to Tyndale monument plus delicious curry at the local pub. Lots of places to visit or just relax in the garden.
This property was great for our all age family get together. While enjoying the quirky features of a 200 year old building all of the facilities are modern. Hot tub and games facilities were all well used and everyone has a very enjoyable experience.
This property is wonderful and was an excellent choice for us as a group of friends going away to celebrate 60th birthday's. The communication with the owner was perfect and very helpful. I would definitely recommend this property.
The only potential issue was the local Pub... please be careful with any recommendations, luckily we chose the Hare and Hounds for for our Boxing Day Meal which was fabulous.
We had a fantastic stay and Susannah the owner was brilliant at communicating with us before and during our stay to ensure everything was okay.
I would highly recommend this lovely home, we had lots of young families and children and the house accommodated us all with ease.
I hope to come stay again soon!
Beautiful house with very good amenities. Hostess seemed very thoughtful and kind.

About the host
Hosted by Susannah Baker
I bought Cotswold House in 2017 and have, I hope, created a stylish, luxury retreat where groups can get together, relax and get away from it all within a beautiful Cotswold setting. Within this beautiful period property, I have combined its historic features with a boutique hotel feel and also modern amenities. I love to cook and have ensured that the kitchen is very well stocked with a great range of cooking utensils as well as herbs and spices. I have stayed with friends and family groups in large houses over the years (before and after we had our children!) and know exactly the elements we looked for and so have looked to recreate this in Cotswold House.
Why they chose this property
Cotswold House sits in a beautiful, quiet valley yet is easily accessible from major UK cities. The house is close to a great range of restaurants (and The Black Horse pub within easy walking distance!) and other local activities in the traditional Cotswold market towns. The house has been beautifully designed but at the same time is practical, relaxing and above all, welcoming.
What makes this property unique
Cotswold House is unique in that it has a huge amount of downstairs living space - a 25 foot sitting room plus a 38 foot drawing room - which allows groups the freedom to come together in one space but also to enjoy time in separate groups too. I felt that this would make for a truly relaxing break for everyone. The bedrooms have been designed to allow different configurations - 5 out of the 6 can either be double or twin beds giving you flexibility on sleeping arrangements.
There is a great outdoor games room, a pretty, private garden with a terrace and stunning views of the valley a short walk away.
