Pictures do not do Lower Slaughter justice. It's even more adorable than it looks! We took many walks around the village and on the footpaths. Our favorite day was walking to Upper Slaughter for afternoon tea at Lords of the Manor, which was excellent. Early morning and evening were the best times for walking the village, because daytime lookie loos were gone. Disappointingly, the Old Mill store was closed during our visit.
The cottage was the best of both worlds - a classic old, charming, cozy cottage but with a modern kitchen. Furniture was comfy including the mattresses. We played Scrabble and read in the living room, comfortable and relaxing. The garden could use a little tending but was lovely nonetheless to sit outside with privacy in the fresh air and sunshine. The mattresses were comfortable, and there were plenty of places to store clothes etc. This is truly a darling, darling cottage.
Alex the property manager was very nice, easily accessible, and helpful both before and during our stay. Good man and nice fellow.
My only suggestion is to deep clean stains on carpets and upholstery, to recover from normal use and pet accidents.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS AREA AND THIS COTTAGE!
