Great little property that is bigger than it looks. Everything you need and a great central location to explore the Cotswolds from.
The cottage was exactly as described, with an easy check in process and a lovely welcoming atmosphere (including a delicious Bakewell Tart, thank you!). We had confidence to stay here with our multiple allergies to fragrance after communicating with the responsive hosts. Northleach was a handy location to explore large areas of the Cotswolds while having a quiet location to return to at the end of the day. We also enjoyed the local shops and visiting the special church up the hill. My mum and I had a fantastic stay.
This cottage was perfect for our stay. The hosts have really kept this property up with modern features and tons of charm. The only thing better than the accommodations was the town. Met the sweetest locals and had our fill of good food and drinks. We will absolutely be coming back to stay!
Easy access from M5, good parking, the house was lovely, clean and had everything we needed. We loved the Northleach - it’s very picturesque. We would certainly stay again.
Really nice accommodation with quirky features reflecting the history of the building. Good sized bedrooms both en suite. Well equipped kitchen and comfy sitting and dining area. Log burning stove was great. Good to have an enclosed garden for our dog to be able to go outside without being on lead. Good pubs and handy shops in easy walking distance. An excellent base for exploring the Cotswolds. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay,
The property was clean, comfortable, nicely furnished and well equipped. The downstairs bedroom and bathroom was great for our elderly relative, who can no longer manage stairs. Northleach is well situated for visiting the Cotswolds. We visited many national trust properties within a relatively short drive. Northleach church is well worth the short walk from the cottage and we enjoyed breakfast at the Old Prison Cafe and dinner at the Wheatsheaf both in Northleach. The Budgen was very convenient for picking up grocery odds and ends All in all a delightful stay.
Exchange cottage was perfect for a short stay in the Cotswolds. It was clean, well maintained and very comfortable. We would definitely stay again. The setting is great, close to many of the loveliest parts of the Cotswolds,
This is our second stay here and we came to tour the Cotswolds. The cottage is perfect and has everything you need, the village has a lovely restaurant within east walking distance and it is located within easy reach of visiting other local villages and towns. So much history and beautiful buildings and sights to see!

We loved this adorable little cottage. We would love to stay again. The little village was quintessential England. Exactly what we were looking for.
Very central to various places in the Cotswolds but such a joy to return to and to get up in each morning. Everything was there that we needed and I enjoyed the outside space to sit and read a bit and to dry some laundry. So bright and airy, roomy….we just loved Exchange Cottage and would stay there again in a heartbeat.
The location of the property was perfect to visit other areas of the Cotswolds. The property was quiet and had everything you needed to make it feel like home. The beds were so comfortable and have never slept so well. It was peaceful and relaxing and was lovely to hear the church bells even through the night. The location was ideal to explore and walk around the village and countryside. Would stay here again and highly recommend.
Everything was perfect at this cottage, it made a special weekend away with my daughter extra special.
I could not fault the cottage at all, well equipped with everything you could need, a home from home. Location was great, the village was lovely. Really loved it.
The Exchange Cottage is a fabulous little gem. Was ideally situated for my day trips I had planned. Northleach is a nice little town, a couple of nice pubs, a lovely cafe & some nice independent shops. Definitely will be back.
This was the perfect location to stay out of the business of the tourist but to be in the midst of charm and the heart of Cotswolds while having easy access to the touristy areas.
We booked to attend the Gold Cup at Cheltenham and do some sight seeing of the local area. The cottage was perfect, bright and clean, lovely friendly village, pubs and bars within walking distance. The host was most amiable and helpful with all my questions. We are hoping to visit again soon!
Perfect stay with everything we needed and super comfortable beds. Centre of charming village just a short walk to restaurants, grocery shop, the river and a fascinating old church with bells tolling every 3 hours (also through the night). We thoroughly enjoyed the Northleach Self Guided Walking tour. Highly recommended!
Perfectly situated to explore the Cotswolds! The town itself is so nice to walk around and take in the history. The cottage is perfect for a small family. It was a nice touch to have coffee stocked and a supply of books and movies for a cozy night in! The garden is also so sweet and I enjoyed drinking my morning coffee and listening to the church bells. We hope to be back!
