10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2025
We visit the Cotswolds every year as a group of nine old friends, and this cottage has been the best place we’ve ever stayed. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away — a stunning Cotswold stone home with so much space, beautifully decorated, and absolutely spotless. It felt instantly welcoming and comfortable. The village is lovely and peaceful, tucked away from the main tourist spots but with everything you could possibly need. There are gorgeous walks straight from the door and some fantastic country pubs within walking distance — perfect for lazy afternoons and evenings together. Kevin, the manager, was brilliant — great communication and so helpful from start to finish. We honestly didn’t want to leave. This cottage has everything you could wish for — beautiful, relaxing, and full of charm. Can’t wait to come back next year!

This is an ideal property for us. It is within 10 minutes’ maximum walk of the music festival site, and is located in a peaceful lane with plenty of walks nearby. The owner and the local representative are very good at getting in touch and replacing items which have disappeared! A few more hooks on the backs of doors would be useful for hanging jackets and bathrobes, as would a couple of deckchairs so one could sit in the garden.

I chose Laurel Tree Cottage for a birthday weekend with friends & the house did not disappoint, fabulous in every way. Beautiful property & the setting equally so. House was immaculate & easily accommodated 9 guests, large enclosed garden to enjoy also & the kitchen leading to the garden seating area was perfect for sitting out in the warm summer evenings. Short walk into the village of Guiting Power, which had a lovely coffee shop & pub, where the staff & locals were all very friendly. Plenty of walks on your doorstep also. Couldn't fault the property & the welcome gifts were a nice touch on arrival. We were able to check into the property at anytime on the Friday & were also told we could check out later on the Sunday, neither of which we requested, so it was a nice bonus. Would definitely book Laurel Tree Cottage again.
