A great place to stay. Comfortable with amazing views. Bibury is busy during the day but the cottage’s location means you aren’t affected. Bonus of dedicated parking a real advantage. Small deli near by but you have to travel to buy most food supplies. Wasn’t an issue as we were out somewhere every day. I would definitely recommend this cottage.

Beautiful location with 2 min access to large field, perfect for dog walking, and a wonderful view from the property.Very spacious feel for 2 people and a dog.Walking distance to centre, interesting trout farm, river walk and famous cottage row ( crowded with tourists at peak day times and extremely peaceful off peak ).Ideal for days out to other Cotswold locations. We enjoyed Cirencester.Catherine Wheel pub 2 mins away with good food and ales.Twig deli 1 min further is expensive but worth it……. especially the sourdough bread and the sausage rolls.Very quiet and relaxing if staying put but some travelling required for the restless.Would recommend and return.
