Lovely place

Great property for a bit of family reconnection after a busy few months. Travelling with 16yr olds is always a worry that they will be bored but we had such fun - the games room/bar in the garden was great, lots of darts and air hockey matches. Even a power cut didn’t stop our fun we played scrabble by candlelight! We explored the local area - we really needed a longer stay but we definitely made the most of it. The property is beautiful, we loved it. The owner was so lovely too :)

The perfect stay for a Cotswolds holiday

The Hemmel is een fantastisch uitgerust en erg sfeervol cottage. Perfect gelegen tussen de Cotswolds, Oxford en Chiltern Hills. Ideale plek voor een mooie vakantie of lang weekend weg.
