Guests say
Lavender Cottage is a charming and cosy retreat in a picturesque Cotswold village, praised for its well-equipped kitchen, comfortable furnishings, and peaceful atmosphere. Guests appreciate its excellent location for exploring the region and the welcoming local pub. While parking can be tight and the absence of a welcome pack is noted, the cottage’s warmth, cleanliness, and homely feel make it a popular choice for families and couples seeking a relaxing break.
Most guests found the cottage clean and tidy, with several describing it as spotless. A few mentioned minor issues such as dust in some areas or crumbs left behind, but these were exceptions rather than the rule.
The location is highly praised for its scenic village setting and proximity to Cotswold attractions. Guests enjoyed the quiet surroundings and the friendly local pub, though noted the lack of nearby shops.
The cottage is frequently described as comfortable, cosy, and warm, with quality bedding and a welcoming atmosphere. A few guests mentioned small or less comfortable beds, but most found the accommodation restful.
Facilities are generally well regarded, with a well-equipped kitchen, wood burner, and two toilets. Some guests noted minor maintenance issues (e.g., TV reception, boiler clock, gate), and several mentioned the tight parking as a drawback.
Several guests noted the absence of a welcome pack (such as milk or bread), which would have been appreciated, especially given the lack of local shops. While some properties offer gifts, these are not guaranteed at Lavender Cottage.

Generally very good property in a great location, everywhere we wanted to go was within half an hour drive and the village had a very welcoming pub only 5 minutes walk away. Thoroughly enjoyable visit to the Cotswolds.

We had a fantastic Christmas week at Lavender Cottage. It has everything you could possibly need, yes the driveway is a bit tight, but we were in a 4x4 and managed just fine. We were able to visit lots of lovely places close by.
