Gorgeous house in a beautiful setting

Gorgeous house in a beautiful setting. Ideal for family groups or gatherings of friends. Lovely light kitchen with big table to socialise around, plus cosy lounge and 6 comfy bedrooms. Quiet position in the village with large garden to relax in - we didn't want to leave !

A lovely stay

We stayed for my mum’s 70th birthday and had a lovely time. Shona and Kevin were really helpful with anything we needed. The garden was superb and great fun for our little ones. The house had plenty of space for all 9 of us (including children). The bedrooms were lovely and the village was just perfect with 2 coffee stops 2 mins away, a lovely pub and seconds from a beautiful walk through the valley. What more could you ask for.

Bliss in the Cotswolds

This house was absolutely perfect for a family gathering of adults with dogs. The house was very comfortable and well provisioned. Walks from the house were great with the dogs. The pub in the village was welcoming and the Post Office shop/cafe and farm shop provided some extra treats! With the location only ten minutes from Stow, we had everything we needed close by. The Fox at Oddington was an excellent venue for supper. A welcome and information book would have been useful. The week was a huge success so thank you!

Weekend break with friends

I would recommend staying in the village of Guiting Power . It has good pubs , shops and lovely walks from the door of the house . The house was very comfortable and worked well for 6 friends having their own room each . The kitchen / diner / sitting area was perfect for our needs. We had plenty of hot water and the house was cosy . There was lovely welcome pack too .

Family celebration

A beautiful house in a lovely village with its pubs and small shop/cafe. It catered for all our needs, adults and children alike. Spacious and comfortable with access to footpaths and other villages and towns. In summer the garden would be ideal for family and friends gatherings. A most enjoyable week. Thank you.

A family get together at Laurel Tree Cottage

Laurel Cottage is spacious, clean and very comfortable. The village location is perfect with 2 pubs and a tea rooms and farm shop. There are many walks straight from the door and lots of villages to explore which are a short drive away. The cottage had everything we needed and a lovely large garden to enjoy.

The perfect location to explore the Cotswolds

We had a great stay at Laurel Tree cottage, the house was so spacious for a gathering with friends. We especially loved the kitchen/dining area. We loved exploring the local walks around Guiting power and the cottage is just the perfect base to explore.

Perfect for attending Guiting Music Festival

We wanted somewhere in the village as we attended concerts every evening and it was convenient to be able to walk back. The two pubs are very different but both serve good food and beer, and the staff are friendly and helpful. The cottage is in a quiet lane with little passing traffic, and there are good walks from the doorstep.

Wonderful stay in a wonderful home in a wonderful place

A simply stunning break. A lovely property which I can't fault, in a stunning part of the country. It was idyllic. Perfectly positioned to explore further afield but equally we enjoyed a few days just in the beautiful gardens and house. Guiting Power is a 2 minute walk away and has all you need for slotting in to village life. Great communication with Kevin the property manager who even allowed us to arrive earlier. Would definitely recommend

Great stay in cosy house

Great stay at Laurel Tree Cottage. Beautiful house and garden, with everything as expected. Only suggestion for improvement is to be a bit more generous with kitchen staples - e.g. three dishwasher tablets, two bin bags, two kitchen towels feels/is scarce for a 3-night stay with 11 adults (we cooked in all the time expect for a wonderful pub lunch at the Hollow Bottom, highly recommend it!

lovely venue in good location

worth reading the reviews before arriving - we did, and brought our own towels & cooking ingredients as no food/condiments/drinks on site & tiny towels! Received a lovely goodie bag with eggs, bread etc from the local farm shop. House is comfortable & warm thanks to Aga.

Lovely house

We had a wonderful week here celebrating family birthdays. The house is in a fantastic location with walks from the door. We enjoyed the house, especially the large kitchen and lovely garden including play area. Comfortable beds and beautiful interior. We did feel that the kitchen needs a larger oven and hob. The Aga was off due to summer, and two rings plus small oven was insufficient to cook for a crowd. That apart we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Idyllically located, beautiful and well kept.

The house is located in a beautiful village with some essential amenities with the pub providing a cosy environment. The post office and the village shop had some lovely delicatessens and all managed by some lovely people. The house itself was very well kept and everything worked! Very pretty on the outside and tastefully decorated on the inside. The garden was maintained immaculately and the apples on the tree were abundant giving it a very homely feel.

Lovely location

We had a fab stay in Laurel Tree Cottage. It’s a beautiful and tastefully renovated cottage that has been extended. It was a lovely location in a charming village and the neighbours opposite (Roland and his wife) were very friendly and helpful. It’s a bit tired in parts and could do with replacing, wooden table and chairs outside, kettle and some kitchen chairs and items. But would thoroughly recommend it for a quiet and peaceful weekend in the Cotswolds.

Beautiful Property

We had a lovely stay here my only input to future guests would be that if you want to cook for a large group in the summer months think about requesting the Aga as the cooker and BBQ are both small there was only 5 of us so it was fine however cooking for 11 would be a challenge without the Aga. Apart from this build the property was clean and beautiful and the admin very simple to follow would highly recommend .

Pre-Christmas family do

What3words - brilliant! We all loved the cottage! So welcoming and cosy yet super spacious! Lots of lovely seating areas so we could all find somewhere to sit to read, watch TV, play games or even craft! Beautiful decor throughout! There were lots of oohs and ahs as we spotted the wooden candelabra in the kitchen or the beautiful bowl in the living room .. or the gorgeous burnt orange sofa (my favourite). Great location .. lovely village a short walk one way, a great walking route the other! Felt like I’d won the Omaze house lottery!! Hope to be back next Christmas! Though I think it would be a perfect spot in summer too.
