Everything you need and more at the Forge. Couldn't fault it in any way. Good central location for getting around the Cotswolds.

We really enjoyed the property and the location. Had everything we needed and only a short drive away to Stow on the Wold. Although the October dates we stayed, all pubs where closed given a big yearly event dating back to the 1400s taking place. A great central point to the Cotswolds. We had problems with the shower mixer (could do with replacing) but someone from StayCotswold came out to tweak it. The boiler is in a cupboard in the main bedroom and can be noisy when the heating comes on in the mornings in the autumn and winter, but not a major issue for us. Ubers are really well priced in the area if you dont want to drive. Would stay again.

The Forge has been an absolutely lovely cottage to stay in during our past summer get-away. It is a roomy two-bath, two-bedroom, and cozy home. From both the exterior as well as the interior the typical Cotswold-look is clearly visible. The home has been equipped with the smallest of details; from family boardgames to an abundance of kitchen appliances and utensils, everything is there for your use. I'd say the only downside of this lovely cottage is the fact that it is só cozy, you might just want to stay in all day and not get to see as much of the lovely countryside surrounding it. Moreover, the customer service of StayCotswold has been phenomenal. After we had checked out to leave for the airport, we discovered that we'd left a jacket behind in the home and there was no way for us to turn back around and make it to our flight in time. We contacted StayCotswold about this issue and they were more than willing to help us out; they've even took the time and efforts to send out a package all the way to the Netherlands (our homecountry) containing the jacket on their own costs. Amazing service!!

Had a great time, The Forge was very comfortable and homely. Location in upper oddington is good. Village is very quiet but so close to more villages and towns. Michael and Sarah
