The hosts were very friendly and welcoming. Everything we needed was provided. Ideal location for touring the Cotswolds. Would highly recommend Bourton on the Water. Plenty of places to eat. The Falcon in Warmington and The Brasenose Arms which is only a mile away, both excellent value.

We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage, just the right size for two, well equipped kitchen, a tea pot (love tea from a teapot), perfect, comfortable bed and good size bathroom. The welcome basket of goodies was a lovely touch when we arrived and the owners were helpful and friendly. We explored the walk through the farm to the village, past the Read moreowners ponies and chickens, through the churchyard, idyllic. The farm/camping site/cottages are very well kept and a pleasure to visit. Hide

Great time here. Lucky to have a week of good weather. Glad the hay was safely baled before any rain came. Well placed for several Cotswolds villages and National Trust properties. Cottage was clean and had all the facilities we needed. Laundry right by the cottage.
