We had a lovely few days staying at the cottage. On arrival there was a lovely welcome hamper which was a really lovely touch. The cottage was spotlessly clean and well equipped. The location of the cottage was ideal for visiting all the local attractions with nothing more than a 20 minute drive away. Communication with the owners was very good and any queries were answered promptly. I would definitely recommend a visit and we would definitely return again when visiting the Cotswolds. I would agree with other reviews about the hot water, in was extremely hot so if you are visiting with very young children beware, but on the plus side we were never without a lovely hot shower.

Great little bolt hole in the perfect location to see all the best of the Cotswolds. Welcome hamper was lovely and a very nice treat.

When we arrived we were pleasantly surprised to see a lovely cottage. It was easy to find a parking was accessible. We had no problem accessing the key from the lock box. The welcome hamper was a lovely touch and the information folder helpful. On inspection of the property whilst unpacking, we did happen to notice lots of cobwebs so dusting could have been better. The location was great Tesco was only a 10 min drive and visiting other places were all very local. After the first night I did notice that there were a lot of feathered cushions and duvets (which I am allergic to) so would have been useful to know this in the spec before booking. The bedrooms were cosy and just want we needed however it was very hot at night so some fans would have been ideal. Bathroom was lovely. Bath was amazing however using the shower proved to be challenging at first but we did get the hang of it eventually. One thing I will mention for other guest staying is that, the water gets extremely hot. It may be useful to have a sign by the kitchen and bathroom sink saying Caution Hot water. The log burner was great and we did try it one night which was lovely. The outside area could have been more presentable. A shame the outside light didn't work around the wooden surround, that would of given it a extra touch. The plants were a little overgrown and lots of weeds so a little tidy up there would make this cottage even prettier. All in all we had a lovely stay and would definitely like to come back and experience it all in the winter months.

We really enjoyed our stay at the old post office cottage. Location was remote but good for access to all villages by car. The welcome basket was a nice touch. We would stay again - thank you!

Property fit out needs perfectly (retired couple looking for a base for exploring the Cotswolds); quiet location with everything we needed. Two cautions: narrow winding stairs to upstairs bedroom could be challenging for some (but were fine even for an old couple like us) and parking in front could be a challenge if the folks working on the neighboring cottage are there (again, only an issue once and didn't really bother us ... just something to be aware of). Would happily stay here again in the future.

We could not have asked for a more comfortable setting for our Cotswolds visit. The decor was perfect and the extras such as the basket of food items was a pleasant surprise. Some have mentioned the steep staircase yet we felt it quite fitting. The rope railing was of course a necessary addition. Should we return to the area, we would want to stay in The Old Post Office Cottage.

A lovely well located cottage. Four adults and a toddler plenty of room. Dishwasher so no washing up. The welcome pack was an unexpected bonus a lovely thought as no shop in the village. Stow on the wold 10 mins away. Plenty of walks from the village recommend a stroll about an hour and half , across to the King's Head in Bledington good food and beer. Altogether a lovely cottage.
