A lovely relaxing stay
A very comfortable house with a gorgeous lounge. The kitchen’s well equipped, but could do with a bigger fridge (especially if staying for a week)
The hosts were really helpful.

Lovely weekend in perfect traditional Cotswold cottage
We had a lovely weekend in the Old Farmhouse. It was tastefully decorated and full of beautiful traditional features such as the long burner and beams, the attic bedroom and en-suite are particularly stunning. The underfloor heating in the kitchen was very welcome when we came in from the cold. The bedding and towels were good quality and the beds comfortable. The welcome gifts left were much appreciated as were the basic supplies of tea, coffee and milk. The location is just a 5 minute drive into the lovely Bourton on Water which has lots of nice places to eat and Birdland is well worth a visit.

The Old Farmhouse
The Old Farmhouse is a comfortable, spacious property close to Bourton on the Water, which we walked to.
We really recommend it, but you need a car as you are near many interesting/ pretty Cotswold
villages /towns but they are not within walking distance.
Thanks for the welcome gifts, we had a lovely week!
The Farmhouse was perfect for our vacation in the Cotswolds. It was very close to Bourton-on-the-Water and just as quaint and beautiful without the crowds. The house was perfect for our family of 5 and the kitchen was well stocked for what we needed. We highly recommend this beautiful home.

Lovely stay to visit Cotswolds
The cottage was really nice as it looks in the pictures.
Great location to visit Cotswolds. Bourton-on-the-water is just 5 minutes far and the most of the villages are reachable in a very short time.
The kitchen is fully equipped and the owners greeted us with a welcome gift.
It was a very lovely stay and we surely recommend it.

Great cottage in little rissington, very comfy and everything we needed for a long weekend
We had a lovely 4 days staying at the old farm house and everything was just as we needed for a break with our friends. Under floor heating was great and we had a fire in the log burner in the evenings which was lovely. Beds all comfortable and bathrooms spacious and had everything we required. Parking area is very narrow so we squeezed the 2 cars as close as we could. All in all we would recommend the cottage as it is very nice and also in a good spot for visiting all the lovely villages and towns in the area.

A lovely cottage with gorgeous view
We loved staying here. A lovely comfortable place with nice views right outside the front windows. Quiet village with a short drive--even a walk--to Bourton on the Water for restaurants, take-out pasties, Co-op market, etc.
The 2nd-floor bedroom and bath are not to be missed.
Thanks to all.
We will return

Cosy Catch Up with Friends
The cottage was absolutely perfect for our girl's celebration weekend. Would recommend for a winter break, as nothing nicer than returning to the cosy cottage, lighting the wood burner and enjoying a glass of wine with friends. Communication through the booking process and leading up to arrival was excellent. Would stay here again if visiting the Cotswolds.

Fabulous Stay!
My boyfriend and I had a wonderful stay at The Old Farmhouse. The cottage is perfectly located, just a short distance from several iconic Cotswolds towns, and a mere 5 minute drive to Bourton on the Water. The cottage itself was beautiful, a home from home, incredibly cosy and comfortable, exactly the kind of cottage you'd dream about for a romantic getaway to the Cotswolds! The cottage is a great size, spread out over 3 floors, and has been beautifully and traditionally furnished, with added mod cons, to ensure you have everything you need. We would definitely stay here again!
