Lovely place

We only stayed for 3 nights but found "The old greenhouse" to be a great place to stay. It was very warm, comfortable and clean and the local pub served excellent food. A good location to explore this lovely part of the Cotswolds.

So peaceful

What a beautiful property set in a very quaint village. I had a really relaxing short stay and loved the attention from the resident dog who I would have happily taken home with me. The owners were really helpful, thoughtful and friendly. The property was very clean and well appointed. The location is superb and the scenery beautiful. Some of the lanes on the way were a bit narrow but, just take your time. I had a fabulous stay and would love to come back.

Just fabulous!

The Old Greenhouse was just perfect. Everything you could ever want in.a holiday home was there. Although a modern structure, the inside was cosy. There were lots of games and guidebooks to keep you busy The Tassimo pods, cans of g&t, fruit juice, milk and chocolate treats were a welcome surprise Andrew was an excellent host and was there to welcome us. His dog was so cute and scratched on the door for treats. However, ypu could shut the gate if you didnt want him Would thoroughly recommend this accommodation aa an excellent base to explore the Cotswolds

Fantastic stay, fantastic location, fantastic hosts

We had a great time staying at the 'Old Greenhouse'. The accommodation was exactly as described with some thoughtful additional touches provided by the hosts. Speaking of the hosts, Andrew and Sian were perfect - present but not overly present, relaxed and gave us great ideas of what to do in the local area. We really enjoyed our stay and would 100% recommend the accommodation, area and hosts to anyone of thinking of booking.

Exceeded expectations

My husband and I wanted a relaxing weekend away and the Old Greenhouse did not disappoint. Andrew the host, was amazing and made us feel very welcome. The property was well equipped with everything we needed and more. All the little touches from fresh milk to toiletries, they really thought about everything. We have stayed in many places but this by far was the best, by a country mile. Beautiful property in a tranquil location and only a 5 minute walk to the pub. A true hidden gem. For us, one of the highlights of the weekend was Hobson the dog. He welcomed us with open paws and popped over for a little doggy treat from time to time. We've had the best time and cant wait to return. Thank you all so much for an unforgettable stay

Everything you need and want from an old greenhouse!! Andrew was at hand for all queries, be it about tv instructions or directions to local areas. The aroma from the garden after rain saturated the senses and we soon named it our slice of zen.

The old greenhouse getaway

The old greenhouse is set in a pretty village and we chose it as we wanted peace and tranquility. It is quiet and the cabin has good space inside. We felt that the main house was much closer to the cabin and also overlooked it quite a bit which we were not expecting from looking at it. Also the fire pit area is in their main garden and not part of the cabin area which was a shame as it looks straight at the house. If you have a 4x4 or anything bigger than a Mini it is a small space to park and unload plus walking through someone’s garden across grass was not ideal. The host was friendly enough when we did see him and allowed us kindly to leave later than 10am. We enjoyed the Cotswolds and the local towns very much plus some beautiful walks with our dog with the autumn colours. Lisa Dan and Bo 🐶

Wonderful hospitality. Hosts were excellent at communicating and the cabin was very cosy and clean with some special treats on arrival. The kings head pub down the road has excellent organic beer and good food. What else could you ask for.
