I booked this property for a short break, wanting a location away from the main busy villages of the Costwolds and this location fit the bill perfectly. The cottage has clearly had a lot of love, time and thought (and money!) put into its renovation and fixtures/fittings/decor, which shows not only in the photos, but in real life too. The location was great, really sweet, quiet village with a great pub and on the edge of beautiful countryside, within really easy drives of everywhere we wanted to go during our stay. I do need to unfortunately mark it down on a few factors, cleanliness and comfort. - Cleanliness - there were dead bugs on the floor in the lounge and kitchen, multiple spider webs/cobwebs in doorways and windows, windows were so dirty they looked misted, TV and unit was covered in dust, bed frame was covered in dust, there were hairs in the bath and marks on taps, water marks over the mirrors etc. it felt like an extremely lazy clean that someone did in less than an hour, I would have expected better for the price paid. - Comfort - the main sofa in the lounge looks and feels like it is well beyond going to the dump. There is no cushion or spring left in the seat cushions at all and it is very hard and uncomfortable when sat on. It looks old and tired and really not in keeping with the quality of the other items in the cottage. The beds were both small doubles, which I was aware of when booking and can't be helped when furnishing a cottage of this age, however both of us found the bed uncomfortable for sleeping. We'd both had such bad sleeps during our stay that we actually chose to drive home a night early. Also be aware if you are planning to stay in the summer... there is not a fan provided at the property, so we were grateful to have bought our own, as the night time temp in the bedroom was 26 degrees and it wasn't even that warm during the day! All in all I would recommend this property, despite what I said above, as it really is lovely, but please if the property owners read this, improve the cleaning and perhaps consider replacing the main sofa as those two things would really make your property the standard that your investment clearly deserves.

We had a very relaxing stay at Laurel Cottage. The cottage was pristine clean and beautifully decorated. Kitchen was very well equipped with everything you need for preparing and cooking meals. Lovely, comfortable outside seating. The bathroom was a very good size and beds very comfortable. Walking distance to a pub with great burgers and a corner shop should you need anything. Great location, quiet neighbourhood. Loved the property.

We had a lovely stay here, it is a beautiful cottage and a good base for exploring the Cotswolds. We would love to stay here again in the future.

Ist was just lovely. Everything you need die a nice holiday. There is a shop and a pub in the village.

Extremely cosy, beautifully appointed home in a wonderful village. The New Inn was friendly and buzzy down the road. And there were lovely walks to Bibury etc nearby. Shame the log fire didn’t work; it needs proper servicing. The only gripe!

Beautiful cottage in a stunning location. Property is decorated in a traditional way and to a high standard. Very cosy during this recent snowy weather. Highly recommended.

We were very happy with everything. It is a lovely cottage in a beautiful area.We could not fault it. Unlike other companies there is a hefty cleaning charge, in this case, nearly 25% of the rental charge, added to the cost. We clean any property we rent thoroughly before leaving and it seems totally unreasonable that we have to pay a lot extra. We were considering going there again for a week in a few weeks, but the cleaning charge is making us reconsider.

Thank you for hosting myself and husband at Laurel Cottage. We had a very relaxing and enjoyable stay. Great locations for exploring the Cotswolds.
