We had a week in the cottage, the beds were very comfortable, seating was good splitvover two rooms, kitchen was in two separate areas so there was ample space. I would recommend this cottage it is in an idilic village, and the pub was literally next door. A most enjoyable week.

We all really enjoyed our stay at The Lodge(4 adults & 2 dogs). Great location for exploring the Cotswolds by car & walking the dogs locally. We all said that we would recommend staying at The Lodge to anyone as it really is everything we had hoped for. Positives were the comfy beds, location, cleanliness. The only thing that I personally would try to improve on is to get a smart TV in the front lounge but there is Freeview, DVD player as well as a smart TV in the rear lounge. Also a better shower upstairs but there is a lovely bath & a really good shower downstairs so the 2 things I've just mentioned are minimal. Thanks to the hosts for helping us have a wonderful holiday!!!!
