Summary: A quirky and lovely Cotswolds cottage. Spacious rooms, comfortable beds, good location, well equipped throughout and our party of 3 65yr old friends loved our stay. It is however, in our opinion, worth cautioning that it wouldn’t be suitable for young children, the elderly or the physically disabled as the bath (with shower in) has two high steps up to it, taps to navigate and the screen door can only be moved minimally. Felt hazardous. Also there are 3 steep uneven steps to the front door and steep stairs inside particularly up to the attic bedroom. Please don’t let this put you off if you’re able bodied without young children as it’s so quintessentially costwolds and comfortable and, as I said earlier, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
