About this cottage rental

Holly Cottage is a terraced cottage resting in Old Minster Lovell, sleeping six people in three bedrooms.

Peacefully located in the quaint village of Old Minster Lovell, is this beautiful Cotswold stone cottage, Holly Cottage. The large cottage is full of character and has lovely gardens, with views of open fields, the local church and the ruins of Minster Lovell Hall, making it the perfect retreat for a family or group of friends who are seeking a relaxing countryside break. A quiet lane leads you up to the front door, which opens into a small hallway, with space to put your shoes, before opening up into the lovely farmhouse style kitchen complete with flagstone flooring, Belfast sink and all the appliances you require for a wonderful self-catering stay. Your meals can be enjoyed in the bright, dual aspect dining room, sat with your guests around the wooden dining table as you toast to a wonderful start to your holiday together. Retreat into the large sitting room where you can sink into the sofa or one of the welcoming armchairs and watch a compelling movie on the DVD player, as the woodburning stove that sits within the lovely, large inglenook fireplace keeps you warm on a cold winter evening. The third bedroom is located on the ground-floor and has one step up to it, featuring a lovely king-size bed and a contemporary en-suite shower room with a walk-in rain shower, hand-held shower, basin and WC. Up the steep staircase are two further bedrooms; the master is a large dual aspect room with a lovely exposed Cotswold stone wall and wooden flooring, with a super-king-size bed and the second has lovely sloping ceilings and contains twin beds or a super-king-size bed on request. Look forward to an indulgent soak amongst the bubbles in the roll-top bath and get out to a wonderfully warm towel, thanks to the heated towel rail! Holly Cottage's large, enclosed garden is to the rear of the property, with lovely rural views, containing an outdoor table and two benches, a charcoal barbecue which is provided during the summer months, and a lovely meadow with a trampoline further into the garden, perfect for keeping the little ones occupied! For a wonderful countryside retreat, stay at Holly Cottage.

The cottage is charming and has a beautiful garden. We only stayed two nights, but enjoyed walking through the village and down to the nearby pub for some excellent (though not cheap) food. It's also well worth walking up to the church and Minster Lovell Hall ruins in the opposite direction.The cottage is old and creaky and has some issues that come with age (eg. a cracked window, low ceilings, some minor damage), but those were kind of expected and not a big deal to us. Some provided toiletries would have been nice in the main bathroom. Our only real complaint was that, while the big clawfoot bathtub positioned in the center of the upstairs bathroom looks nice, it's not very practical to actually use.
