Beautiful location, excellent host and incredible weather

Property exactly as in photos, thanks for the milk and chocolate cake. It was very easy to self-cater as all utensils were available and didn't need washing before use ! We've stayed at another property previously and will definitely return . Thanks again.

Visiting family in Cotswold area, stayed in the Kinsale Cottage, 4 adults and a 2 1/2 year old. Downstairs with open livingroom/dining area - also the view of the lake is very nice and we sat on the deck whenever weather allowed. Upstairs the back bedroom is very nice, the 2 twins br are a cosy but doable, and the double worked as a childrens br. Neil was by to check with us, and also put in a gate for the stairs. Very happy to stay here again.
We visited local spots: pubs, stone circles, RR museum, walking trails, walking, driving, taking bus - very enjoyable

Great little place to unwind and chill out for a few days. Plenty of games in the cupboard, TV was huge and had Netflix etc.
Beds were comfortable.
