10 / 10Outstanding·Mar 2026
A very cosy cottage, with a well presented garden (garden furniture would have been nice as we hit 20 degrees in March and it would have been good not to have to take out kitchen chairs to sit on).
The kitchen was well equipped and really lovely (inside the oven could do with a bit of a clean, but didn’t deter from its use). My only criticism would be that it’s in a bit of a need of a refresh. The paintwork, walls are looking a little tired. But again doesn’t detract from it being a cosy house. The beds are super comfy the log burner was excellent. The cosy dining area was perfect for breakfast. Lovely to have lots of Ordnance Survey maps and local walking books. Books to read, games and jigsaws.
The George is a short walk up a gentle hill and was very good. The food was delicious.
The butcher in Upper Brailes is amazing.
The walk from the Church on the paths across the fields to the windmill was lovely (the local farmer, guided us)
Theo the log delivery man was so lovely. We met him as we arrived.
Although it is on the main road it doesn’t affect the relaxed, calming feel of the house.
Highly recommended.
8 / 10Excellent·Feb 2026
A lovely little cottage ideal for our family size with our dog.
Beautifully decorated and presented inside and out.
I wasn’t aware before it’s on a busy road (maybe my oversight tho) but with a lovely pub who serve fab food it’s in the perfect location.
We had a very wet weekend but having a walk in kitchen to take boots etc off and dry the dog was great.
We didn’t use the front door as even with the key left in we couldn’t unlock it, not sure why but may need checking out!
The only thing I need to say is the stairs are very steep (but lovely) and the bend was tight to get cases up. For me, going down was worse then going up and the hand rails where needed both ways.
I would recommend to friends and family. Thank you

This cottage is lovely, a very Cotswold cottage.
The cottage was about 20-25 minutes drive from Moreton In Marsh station.
It Is the perfect size and has an awesome kitchen with many “tools”.
The linens provided were upscale hotel quality with thick cozy duvets. These were needed for the chill nights. This doesn’t mean there was no heating. Though it took a phone call to the property manager to fix it. He responded quickly and positively. He also gave us the wood supply that wasn’t in the cottage so that was easily fixed as well.
The cottage even had a decorated Christmas tree!
If you don’t feel like cooking The George Pub, 3 minutes walk, had excellent food. Very hearty portions and well priced.
The cottage garden was equally nice with a fruiting apple tree and was just the right size for our small dog.
We may well book a return visit during warmer weather.
