COTSWOLD HISTORIC COTTAGE, WITH LARGE GARDEN

Historic Cotswold stone cottage. Grade II listed, thought to have been built around 1600. This cosy cottage, located in a village in its own hidden valley, is a perfect hideaway. Lots of walks, a fantastic country pub (that serves great food) 2 minutes' walk away. But the centres of Stow-on-the-Wold and Bourton-on the-Water just 3 miles away. Naunton Downs golf course 5 minutes' drive away allows day guest membership. Adam Henson's Cotswold Farm park - great for kids, 10 minutes' drive away. Original beams, working wood log fireplace (and central heating!), windows, even an original floor provides a unique atmosphere. The beds are normally arranged as a super king and two singles, IF YOU NEED A DIFFERENT ARRANGEMENT WE NEED A WEEK'S NOTICE.

2 week stay June 2025

This Cotswolds cottage is desperately in need of some love & attention. The front garden is overgrown and the “large garden” which is NOT directly behind the cottage but 2 doors down was a complete disaster. Overgrown with long grass and weeds. We could not get to the wood fire BBQ at the back of the garden as we could not safely see where we were walking. On our last day someone came to power wash an area that had paving slabs that had not even been visible. No instructions provided for the appliances Lacking kitchen equipmentThe host will let you know beforehand that the fridge and freezer doors do not always close tightly The main bathroom needs an extractor fan as the small window is not adequate to stop condensation running down the walls after a shower Both bathroom doors are warped and don’t close properly for privacyThe main bathroom toilet has a major issue as when you flush the mechanism lifts the tank lid. You have to force the handle down into place which creates a huge noise as the lid settles back into place. Beds were comfortable with very basic bedding. The video shows cushions and runners on the bed. Missing on our visit and pictures were on the floor & not the wall!As frequent VRBO users this is actually the first property that was not as described. The location was what saved the day for us.

Quirky Cotswold Cottage

Quirky little Cotswolds cottage. Loved it. Garden is 2 doors away, which was interesting. Just added to the funny little local vibe.

True Cotswolds experience!

We enjoyed our stay and experiencing true Cotswold living! The cottage is comfortable with deep history. The garden was lovely. It was early spring, so lots of flowers in bloom. The stairway inside is a little narrow (watch your head going up to the third floor!) but the rooms were comfortable and clean. The host, Mark, provides a ton of information about the area and places to see. All around, it was a great place!

Relaxing break

The property was lovely with lots of little extras, which made us feel welcome. Practical layout for four adults, although another higher armchair instead of the little chair would have been great. The garden was delightful and added to our stay. Better directions to find the property, which was set back, would have saved us 30 mins after a long drive.

Nice stay with good location

It was a little difficult to find the home and the parking on the street can be challenging There were 3 of us with associated luggage We were in Europe for 2 months so did have large bags The home was very well appointed The kitchen area was very nice basic cooking oil/spices etc There is no grocer in town so make sure you bring food The pub was about 1/2 block away and had good food and a nice outside area This was a good home base to tour the Cotswolds I especially recommend a tour of Sudeley Castle the last home and burial site of Queen Catherine Parr The stairs are very step and curved but our granddaughter had no issues climbing to the 3rd floor I would definitely recommend this home

Quiet Cotswolds village

We spent a month in Naunton which is a lovely small village with a very friendly, handy pub just along from the cottage, and perfect for anyone wanting to be off the beaten track - less than 15 minute drive to either Stow or Bourton. The cottage was quite comfortable although we would have appreciated a maintenance check beforehand as we did encounter a few issues, and, for such a long stay, we would have expected some spare linens or housekeeping coming to change sheets. The garden is quite separate from the house and there is no off-street parking.

Charming

The unit has old time charm. The living room has low ceilings giving a very snug feel and provided enough seating for the four of us. The kitchen was well stocked with all of the necessary plates, pots, coffee maker, etc. We appreciated the use of the clothes washers. Both bedrooms had adequate space and comfortable beds. The top floor bathroom was a bit tight, but was functional. The kitchen and both bedrooms require walking up steps, not a problem for us but the bedroom stairs are a bit steep. It was very quiet, with friendly neighbors. The garden area was a nice place to sit and relax. The village is picturesque and quiet. We enjoyed the ability to walk down to the local pub for a pint or a meal (about 3 minute walk). Overall, we found the unit to meet all of our needs with everything in good working order.

A great place to stay in a very friendly village. The local pub the Black horse serves beautiful food and we highly recommend it.

Perfect respite

Our trip to Naunton was originally planned for a year ago, but due to COVID had to be delayed. Mark was super helpful and responsive in switching dates, and with everything else related to our stay. And we're so glad we were eventually able to stay in this adorable, cozy, characterful home! We took long walks during the day, and loved sitting in front of the fire on our return. The village of Naunton is a gem, and the local pub had great food and friendly service. We had such a lovely stay and would recommend Mark's home to anyone looking for a comfortable escape to a beautiful area!

Very pleasant

Beautiful location, helpful and good communication from agent and owner. Overall very happy with our stay but we found cleanliness of certain areas ( kitchen, bathrooms and dining table) to need cleaning properly, which we did ourselves. Previous occupants had left, what looked like tomatos/tomato sauce splashed up the dining area walls and kitchen surfaces. Plates, pans and cutlery all needed cleaning. The sinks and toilet needed bleaching to remove scummy areas. Thankfully there was cleaning products in the cupboard for us to use. But we still had a pleasant stay, thank you.

Delightful country cottage

Cottage was as expected from the description, we were not disappointed. It would be ideal if chinaware could be made up to sets of 8 to make more efficient use of the dishwasher.
