We stayed at Gable Cottage for our first ever Christmas away.
I contacted house keeping and Bolthole Retreats prior to our visit and was assured the property would be decorated for Christmas, and though family and friends said their properties were decked out for Christmas when they've gone away before (not to Gable Cottage) we still decided to take some things from home, including a slim line Christmas tree and we are so glad we did! The small Christmas tree by the front door I wouldn't really class as 'decorating the property' and would have been extremely disappointed if we hadn't taken things from home, so something to be mindful of if having a Christmas stay as it was the least festive feeling property.
The property as a whole was clean and tidy throughout with no real issues on this, though it did have a number of cobwebs in every room, guess this is common in a cottage?
The log burner was a nice touch, there is minimal wood provided so you will need to buy some additional - Tesco's were sold out, but there was an Esso garage nearby that had plenty. Be mindful when having the doors open as it did set off the fire alarms due to black smoke bellowing out, though we were using small amounts of wood, I would suggest that the chimney may need sweeping. The neighbours came to check on us - which was nice.
Location wise, its very central to most places within 30-40 minutes round trips. I would recommend the Reindeer Farm 10 minutes down the road for a festive experience! So would happily stay in Meysey Hampton again.
Overall it was a pleasant stay at Gable Cottage, we wouldn't stay here again, but as a first experience in the Cotswolds it was a positive one, we would just go for a bigger property next time.

Clean house and effective use of space. Good range of appliances
Good pub opposite.
Cutlery , glassware and cooking pans required cleaning.
Noisy traffic woke us between 5-7am

We stayed for a week over Christmas. Overall, we would give the home 4 out of 5 stars. It's very cozy and exactly as pictured making it memorable holiday. With that said, we found the beds to be slightly uncomfortable for the extended stay and it could have been a bit more cleaner upon arrival.

The photographs used to sell the cottage are not a true reflection of this property,
The building itself is beautiful but sad to say the furniture was of a poor quality. (Sofa)
The cottage was very cold day and night, controlling the temperature wasn’t an option other than (boost) which didn’t help.
We had an infestation of wood lice, which we was told is normal for the Cotswolds, we have stayed at many cottages in the Cotswolds over the years, and have never encountered this before. (Maybe it is I don’t know)
There was an issue with flickering lights in the bedroom, which was very annoying, after contacting the housekeeper company, they said they need an electrician out to fix this. So wasn’t fixed for our stay, (not ideal when trying to do makeup !
In summary this is a beautiful building near great pub. In a quant village, with a few interior maintenance issues that need resolving.
