  • Confirmed Guest

    The cottage was very well presented and equipped with all we needed. The owners were most welcoming in giving us priority to the steam room, which we appreciated. We enjoyed the peace of the surrounding countryside and being able to walk into Northleach. It provided a relaxing break for meeting up with my family.

    We were given a warm welcome, and the cottage was excellent - very comfortable, clean, and well equipped. The pool was a brilliant added bonus.
