Wonderful centrally located cottage. The space has been designed so that is feels so much bigger than we expected. We loved being able to walk to a couple of pubs in the town and exceptional coffee shop.

Wonderful stay

A lovely cottage that has everything you need and well placed for visiting the area. The local pub Wheatsheaf is great for food and local shops too. Breakfast at the Prison is a must. Great communication with Lorna and Genna and very helpful with places recommended for a visit. Would recommend.

The cutest Cotswold cottage

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!

Perfect quirky cottage in a lovely village

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!

This was our second stay at this cottage, a home from home, it had everything you needed for a comfortable, happy time away. The village is very beautiful with lots of amenities, spectacular church, and it position in the cotswolds makes it near lots of places of interest to visit. Lovely place.

Delightful weekend in the Cotswolds

The property was clean and comfortable. It was nicely outfitted and it was great to have the washer and dryer. Plenty of hot water, it is the perfect location for exploring the Cotswolds. Northleach we found to be a delightful village. Stay there, it was great.

I want to live here!

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.
