My partner and I spent a wonderful two nights in this cottage. It was a perfect size for us and was extremely quaint, comfortable and is as you see in the photos. The property was clean, in fantastic condition and the bed was extremely comfortable! The hosts were very responsive to our communication (we had some challenges turning on the gas stove and one of the electric heaters) and check-in instructions were very clear. The property is a little hard to find (we spent 5 minutes walking around the court trying to find the correct door number - they could probably improve the instructions here - the entrance is actually on another side street connected to the main road) and note that it is near the main village B road but we barely noticed any noise during our stay. Bretforton is also a great base for exploring the Cotswolds - we also walked to their local pub (The Fleece) which is 5 minutes away from the property and had a lovely dinner there, would highly recommend checking it out!

Stunning place, very cosy, beautiful decor! Sarah the owner was very responsive when we couldn’t get the fireplace to work, so she came out on New Year’s Eve to help us light it, bless her. Very quick at replying too. Really appreciated it! The place was perfect for a couple of nights stay, had all the things we needed to cook a meal in. Lovely pub down the road too. And close enough to Stow on the Wold and Bourton on the water which we visited. Would recommend. Also the bed, was quite possibly the best bed I’ve ever slept in. Wow!!
