All of the little extra touches added by the host really made us feel welcome. Excellent location for exploring The Cotswolds. We loved this accommodation so much.

It had everything we needed and the little touches like the pastries and having the fire on when we arrived were lovely. The location was excellent, a few minutes wander down into the village with a lovely pub and cafe, and only a 10 minute walk across to the common with amazing views across the hills. The garden was perfect and fully enclosed which was great for our pooch who is a bit of an escape artist! However, the paving slabs in the garden were very slippery which was made worse when wet, so maybe they need to be power washed. Would absolutely recommend staying in the cottage and hope to return one day :)

Lovely and warm to walk into with a delicious plate of pastries waiting for us. The local pub and cafes were excellent and very friendly. Loved the character and decoration of the cottage however our only down point would be the stairs if anyone had mobility problems as they are steep. Nevertheless I would fully recommend a stay at the Snug and we very much hope to return ourselves .
