Decorated beautifully, the space is ideal for one or two people and a great location for exploring the Cotswolds. Loved my stay there and was very sorry to leave! Can highly recommend and would absolutely book again without any hesitation.

However, over priced at £500 for approximately 36 hours over a weekend. Parking was an issue too, I had to park my car a considerable distance away from the property.
