I would like to thank Michelle for providing such a lovely place for our stay, offering us an upgrade as we were the only ones on site! The property itself was cosy, clean and modern whilst reflecting the Cotswolds theme throughout. The directions to the property were clear and the property guide book was great with suggested local walks, where to eat and what to do. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to friends and family, thank you again!

This historical Bothy (restored cowshed/home of a herder) as been converted into a comfortable one bedroom unit. The design and furniture are high quality and stylish. The photos are representative of the cottage. Check in was easy and finding the place was also easy given the good directions given. The bed was very comfortable and it was wonderful to be able to sleep with the windows open for fresh air. Bibury is a good central location to many historical gardens and sites. There are two eating establishments within walking distance of the cottage. We had no issue with the spiral staircase which linked the two floors. We would definitely stay here again on a return visit to the Cotswolds. We particularly liked walking along iconic Arlington Row after dinner when the village return to its quiet mode in the evening.

Perfect for a quiet get away. The location was good and we had everything we needed.

Quirky, cosy and comfortable stay, with easy parking and access to Bibury. Well equipped and easy to use facilities, and the spiral staircase is a novelty!

My wife and I stayed at The Bothy for 7 nights, and enjoyed every minute of it. It was straight-forward to locate, with a decent-sized parking spot. There was private outside seating. The property owners lived in the immediate vicinity, and were very kind, approachable and helpful, without being intrusive. We would stay again. The accommodation would not really suit anyone with mobility issues, due to a narrow spiral staircase, which is stated prior to booking, so we knew what to expect. An ideal accommodation for a couple, and for spending a few nights is a beautiful part of the Cotswolds. The accommodation provided some useful local information, and everything we needed for a welcoming arrival - thanks for the cake!

Spent five nights in the wonderful little spot. While small, it was very well equipped and appointed. The location is just right for country walks and sightseeing. One small plumbing issue was handled efficiently by the very friendly hosts. The weather during our stay was not very good, but the charm of the property made our indoor hours very memorable.

Arriving at The Bothy, we found a very clean and comfortable snug - exactly what we needed. We booked the space during lockdown as we had a wedding to attend in the area and it really was the perfect choice. The little touches we found were so helpful: basic groceries and treats (oil, salt and pepper, ground coffee, fresh milk and cookies; even two little bottles of wine in the fridge!) and a Smart TV (we brought our own Firestick which made things super easy). As we’ve been to Bibury many times, we didn’t need to take advantage of its excellent position for the tourist trail but would highly recommend it for this purpose. Both the Bolthole Retreats agency and the owner Michelle are delightful to deal with too.

The Bothy one bedroomed cottage at Arlington House, Bibury was clean and tidy, tastefully decorated and comfortable. Kitchen small but well equipped. Situated in a very peaceful location and with a small seating area to front of cottage meant we could sit outside in the sunshine and enjoy the peace and quiet and the nice surroundings of the cottage. All in all it was a nice place to stay. The only criticisms we have is that we found spiral staircase to be just a little too narrow, meaning we were unable to get a normal sized suitcase up and had to leave case downstairs and take bundle of clothing up some evenings for the next couple days. You would probably be able to get a small carry on up there. Also we feel that some sort of blind/curtain should be placed at the bathroom window, we did feel a bit exposed getting out of the shower with the towel rail opposite the window and nowhere to hang the towel near the actual shower. We were told of the "small creatures" that may appear from time to time but saw none of these except woodlice, which on occasion was quite a few. This was a lovely cottage in the owners grounds with parking, you remain undisturbed and in entire peace. We found the owners Michelle and Jason polite and helpful, who were there if needed but otherwise you were left undisturbed.
