Lovely farmhouse

We had a great time. David and Gillian were very welcoming and friendly. Plenty of places to visit in the local area - including a local farm recommended by Gillian that was a real hit with our toddler - and a lovely garden at the front of the house to enjoy. The house itself was very comfortable and just what we wanted. Thank you!

Lovely property!

The property is lovely, spacious and well equipped. The location is quiet and secluded, but easily accessible with good access to local major roads. There is plenty to do in the surrounding area. We did have a bad experience with mites in the electrics in the main bedroom with rather put a dampener on my birthday breakfast and the TV didn't work on the first and last day which was annoying, but the host was very helpful when we reported problems. I would have no hesitation in recommending this property.

Lovely cottage in good location

We spent two weeks in this lovely cottage which is well situated for the Cotswolds and surrounding areas. David & Gillian were very welcoming and on hand if required but also allowing us privacy to enjoy our holiday. Nice big garden to keep children amused and plenty of wildlife around. We were visited by a Robin at around 3pm each day and occassionally the cows that graze in the field peer through the window to say hello. We enjoyed our time and would not hesitate returning or recommending this cottage.

Wonderful Cottage

This cottage comes highly recommended. David and Gillian are the perfect hosts. We spent two very enjoyable weeks here and could not have asked for a better Cottage for both it's location, accommodation and facilities. We felt very much at home here and have already booked another two weeks next year.

5 star Coach house and hosts!

What a fabulous holiday house and location! As a family with 2 children it was perfect as a delightful base to explore the Cotswolds. Our hosts Gillian and David were charming and respected our privacy 100%! We sunbathed in the beautiful garden and felt completely comfortable. It was like being completely independent but with the security of knowing they were there if anything was needed. You will not be disappointed if you book the Coach House! Thanks from a very happy family!

The house its self was lovely, as were the owners. The listing is misleading saying secluded

The hosts and house internally are lovely. When we booked the house I read the listing over and over as well as the reviews to make sure it was suitable for our stay. By saying the house had a secluded private garden. I thought this was what we would be arriving to after our 4 hour journey to discover the house and garden are completely overlooked.. so no private garden socialising or sunbathing or even feeling comfortable when we walked out of the door. The owners house and windows fully overlook the private garden. This may not bother most people, but this was the opposite of what we thought we were booking. Hence my review as I think people should certainly be aware of this as the description and ad make you believe this has at the very least somewhere private to sit outside.
