A lovely traditional cottage, within easy reasy of some of the Cotswolds' lovely sights. Well-resourced, modern kitchen and dining room, which made a lovely hub for family meals. The provision of basics like salt and pepper, tea and coffee, made things easier too. The living room was traditional and cosy and the wood-fired stove, which lit like a dream, added that extra homely touch. The beds, with crisp linen and pillows to die for, gave us the best nights' sleep that we have had in a long time. Even on a cold morning, the garden was a quiet place to sit and had something iconically English for every season: lavender, roses, rosemary, camellia, wysteria, complete with dining furniture. Though we stayed in early October, just as temperatures had fallen, the cottage was perfectly warm, day and night. It was only on departure that we realised the hosts lived next door, so perfectly did they cater for our arrival but leave us so beautifully to feel like we were in our own home.
