This beautiful cottage strikes the perfect balance between history and modern comfort, with its original window frames, wooden floors, and roaring fireplace creating an ambiance that makes you feel instantly at home. Every corner of the property reflects a refined rusticity, with thoughtful touches that make for an inviting retreatâitâs clear that no detail has been overlooked. The village of Eastleach itself is a gem, seemingly untouched by time. As you wander its quiet lanes, youâll be greeted by honey-colored stone cottages, ancient churches, and rolling fields that stretch as far as the eye can see. Itâs easy to lose yourself in the charm of this unspoiled slice of the English countryside. Thereâs a serenity here thatâs hard to find elsewhere, punctuated only by birdsong and the gentle murmur of the River Leach. Dominic, the owner, is a true highlight of the All Souls experience. From the moment you book, he is welcoming, responsive, and dedicated to ensuring your stay is as enjoyable as possible. His local recommendations make exploring Eastleach even more special. His warm hospitality reflects the very spirit of Eastleachâgenuine, heartfelt, and unforgettable. All Souls Cottage is more than just a place to stay; itâs an experience that captures the essence of the English countryside at its finest.

A wonderful house and garden, an exceptional beautiful location. The owner Dominic was very kind and caring. We fell in love with the (dogfriendly) pittoreske village, pub, meadows, hills and the cottswolds in general.
