About this cottage rental
Between Moreton-in-Marsh and Stow-on-the-Wold, Longborough is a secret retreat and Mouse Manor makes the perfect bolthole. Nestled amongst open countryside you have everything you need on your doorstep. The village pub, Coach and Horses, will welcome you for evening drinks or a meal and the village shop makes sure you can stock up on essentials and a taste of local produce during your stay.
Amongst the quiet streets lined with Cotswold stone houses sits Mouse Manor. Hugged by greenery it is an adorable cottage with a wealth of personality. Flagstones line the floors, wooden beams are above and in the kitchen the AGA is a beautiful addition. Whilst retaining its traditional heritage you will feel at home here. The cosy sitting room and kitchen make up the ground floor while above are two bedrooms and a bright bathroom. Outside, the garden is the cherry on the cake. Stretching before you there is space to dine and you can safely let the dog out. After long country walks and days spent visiting beautiful neighbouring towns, spread out a blanket and enjoy the peace and quiet, occasionally accented by the church bells.
There is so much to see and do in this golden triangle of the Cotswolds, you are spoilt for choice. Sezincote House and Gardens, Batsford Arboretum and Cotswold Farm Park are much loved attractions, and during the Summer months you are in a prime spot to attend the Longborough Festival Opera.
Ground Floor
Living Room
This cosy nook, warmed by the fire, is the embodiment of Cotswold life. Coming back from a day out and about, pour yourselves a glass of wine and take in your surroundings. As the fire crackles you can appreciate the changing hues of the exposed stone walls and the characterful wooden beam. Let the children watch TV while you flick through a magazine, gazing out to your view of rural life.
Kitchen/diner
The golden tones of Cotswold stone, flagstone flooring and centrepiece AGA take you back in time in this traditional country kitchen. A table set for four invites you for dinner and you can step out to the garden for evening drinks.
First Floor
Bedroom One
Village views of a quiet cottage lined street greet you in bedroom one. The double bed rests between bedside cabinets where you can set your cup of tea as you enjoy a lie-in. To one side, built-in wardrobes are tucked away providing plenty of storage.
Bedroom Two
Two single beds nestle in this peaceful bedroom which looks across the garden at the back of the house. For families, this room is great for the children as there is a TV to provide entertainment and keep them out of mischief.
Bathroom
A cheerful pop of colour brings life to the bathroom which has a bath with a handheld shower and a separate shower.
Outside
Planted borders, hidden pathways and secluded sunny spots make it hard for you to drag yourself away from the garden at Mouse Manor. It stretches before you with a dining terrace and lawns, blooming with life and colour in spring and summer. Sunny days can be spent lazing, book in hand, or playing games with the children while burgers are grilled at the BBQ. This quintessentially English garden is a haven.

Lovely weekend stay at Mouse Manor. Really pretty building - stayed with my partner, two teenagers and dog for a weekend break in the cotswolds. Would recommend and definately good value for money. Particularly liked the Aga which makes it feel so warm and cosy at this time of year (October!).

On arrival i found the door very stiff to open (not good with arthritic hands) . The first thing i noticed when i stepped inside was a big cobweb on the lamp to the left, in the alcove. However, the lounge was well set out although somewhat dusty.
Down into the kitchen, lovely, everything you could possibly need and a welcome bottle of milk in the fridge (a nice touch although i dont drink cows milk). The window sill was quite dusty and the windows were dirty, especially on the outside. The cupboards had somewhat of a musty smell and the table to the left of the fridgefreezer was , again dusty and dirty. The garden was nice to sit in with a nice wooden windchime on one of the trees.
Upstairs to the bathroom, that was quite disappointing as cleanliness fell below par here. The sink and bath both had bits of hair present, obviously hadn't been cleaned let alone wiped round. The paint around the window was in a poor state and peeling off which made a mess, also the wallpaper was hanging off to the right of the window. I only used the bath , i saw a big cobweb inside the shower at the top so i didnt go in there.
The twin bedroom looked made up nicely but as i didnt use it i shut the door and left it alone. The double bedroom was made up nicely aswell, nice comfy bed and fans were provided in the cupboard which was good as it was very warm weather.
This is a lovely cottage with a very lovely garden in a very lovely position, i just wish they had paid more attention to the cleanliness.

Property and village, tranquil. Great location to explore the Cotswolds. An amazing village shop, cafe and a pub which are both literally 20 steps away. The cottage is a little dated. Needs some TLC which I know is already taking place. Along with a deep clean as it was a little grubby. We had some “young ones” having a gathering next door which made a lot of noise as next door is also a holiday let. But that was taken care of. Caroline was amazing, and so were the team at Bolthole Retreats.
