  Great location.

  Well equipped and warm. Good downstairs space. Nice welcome pack. Reasonable price. Generally clean and tidy but cobwebs in corners and dust on beams etc. One of the beds had lots on long black hairs on the sheet when we pulled back the duvet (so we were not sure if the bed covers had been changed on that bed). We washed it before use! It's an old property so it has creaky floors upstairs (that's ok). Some of the downstairs walls appear to have rising damp (blown plaster and flaky paint). The downstairs shower room was a bit mouldy on the upper walls and the shower head riser was broken (but usable). Water seeped through the wall above the sink when it rained heavily. The patio gate needs some attention, also the imposing bush next to it which restricts access. There was tea and coffee provided in caddies but the coffee was part solidified so it may have been there a while! Not a problem as we used our own. Overall it's a great location but the property needs some investment and TLC.

  Winchcombe is an excellent base for this part of the Cotswolds.

  A lovely town with plenty of options for eating and shopping. We did several walks from Winchcombe and they were great. Winchcombe really does welcome walkers! The cottage was perfect for the three of us. It helped that the weather was glorious so we could make use of the small patio garden. We were confused about when to put the bins out. Clearer instructions needed, maybe a sticker on the appropriate bins? A few more comfortable outdoor chairs wouldn't go amiss as it was nice to sit outside in the evening and in the conservatory. We had no issues with the upstairs shower. We ate out a lot - highly recommend the fish and chip shop. The kitchen was fine, maybe a couple of washing up sponges could be provided as we didn't use the dishwasher. We didn't have a car but made use of the local bus to get to Chipping Camden. We managed to get to Stow on the Wold and Bourton on the Water by bus too. We had a great time and would stay in Mouse Hole cottage again.

  Mouse hole cottage was lovely and fit our needs very well: my mum is partially blind and has limited mobility and we both had a great time here.

  The cottage was very clean, surprisingly spacious and well presented with decor and furniture in keeping with the house. The extra "potty" flap on the downstairs toilet was amusing for us (2 adults) but would be very practical for families. The owners have clearly put thought into the needs of the customers as it had everything we needed and the welcoming wine and biscuits were a nice touch. It is an old cottage so creaks, cracks and low beams are to be expected ( mum and I are both short but taller people beware of the low beam on the landing!). In terms of position, the cottage is right on the main road of Winchcombe, everything we needed was in easy reach and the carpark moments away, my mum had no issues going back and forth. Be aware that the main bedroom does get road noise because of the road, the other rooms are quieter. Free parking for blue badges in the car park ( 3 spaces) was a nice surprise.

  The cottage was in a perfect location.

  It had a well equipped kitchen and the conservatory a great addition bringing much needed light into the property. The downstairs shower had great pressure compared to the one upstairs so we tended to use that. The furniture although in keeping with the cottage was a bit uncomfortable. We however ate all our meals either in the conservatory or the garden which was light and spacious. I would say the only thing missing from the cottage was a BBQ. I don't think I would stay there with more than 2 adults. There was just enough space for 2 of us and our bikes. Winchcombe is a great place. Highly recommended the Corner Cupboard for food.

  The cottage was a comfortably lived in property which made us feel relaxed from when we arrived.

  It was really what we were hoping for and fitted in so well for a visit to the Cotswolds, rather like living there. The village was nice, the White Hart pub was quite like a local and all the people we met were very polite and friendly. The new Indian restaurant was excellent and the staff quite outstanding. So many great places to visit and Sudeley castle should not be missed,and just a short walk away. Mouse hole cottage was a good choice and we would recommend it to anyone wanting a relaxed break in a beautiful part of the country
