Lovely, cozy cottage

My sister and I had a great stay at the Puzzle House. It was located centrally and very close to the train station and directions from our hostel were very helpful. There are many lovely cafes and pubs on the Main Street as well as a small grocery store. The cottage was exceptionally clean, cosy and quiet. With a lovely welcome basket we were set for a few days and thoroughly recommend this place as a home away from home.

SIMPLY AMAZING

This is my third visit to this absolutely stunning property, this time we spent three wonderful days with two fantastic friends who also adored it as much as we do. Not only is the property glorious, the location is second to none with everything on your doorstep. Had delicious meals in Bellini's and Tikiri's, as well as visited Sudeley Castle, lovely walks around the town, to the arboretum and generally drank and ate too much.

A Cracking Few Days In Moreton

The Puzzle House was a perfect place for our long weekend. The accommodation was spotless, decorated to a really high standard, and in a brilliant location. We are regular visitors to The |Cotswolds, and this is one of the very best places we have stayed, and we will definitely return again in the future.

A perfect stsy

The Puzzle House is exceptional. It provides everything you will need for a short stay in the heart of the Cotswolds. The welcome bundle is such a nice touch. Milk, cereal, tea, coffee and biscuits. Its location is ideal. Walking distance to cafes, restaurants and shops. Secure cottage with an entrance gate, ideal for taking bikes. Will definitely stay here again.

I have no hesitation in recommending this property

My family and I spent a fantastic five days at the Puzzle House. The property is beautifully appointed and has everything you could possibly need. It is also extremely central - we travelled less than 30 minutes to get to all the places we visited. It is tucked right behind the high street at Morton, so convenient for all the shops, cafes and restaurants but really quiet and secluded. We met the owner, Helen, who was lovely. You can tell that she has put her heart and soul into this business and really wants her guests to have an enjoyable stay. We certainly did.

A lovely break in Moreton in Marsh

A newly converted property which was very comfortable, superbly equipped, and very well located behind the High Street. We did find that the heating went off one evening and we did feel rather cold but did not know quite how to improve it. Probably the heating was pre-set. A very enjoyable few days.

Fabulous!

We had a fantastic stay in The Puzzle House. Everything was perfect. Absolutely spotlessly clean - I've never stayed anywhere so clean. The house was stylish and well equipped with everything you could possibly need. The attention to detail was brilliant - mirrors in the right places with sockets nearby. Plenty of storage in the bathrooms. These little touches make a place feel like home. They location was perfect for visiting all the lovely places in the Cotswolds. We were able to talk to Helen on the way out and she is such a lovely lady who is quite rightly very proud of her property. Thank you Helen for providing such a first class break for us and for the welcome pack!

Beautiful holiday house

We had a lovely stay at the Puzzle House. Everything was spotless. The furniture and furnishings are lovely. Everything is done to a high standard and there is nothing that has not been thought of. There was a cupboard of brand new games in the living room. The kitchen was well stocked with every utensil that you’d need. The beds were very comfortable. Even though the house is on the high street it was very quiet. Would recommend without hesitation.

Modern, clean cottage great location and attentive Host

Firstly I want to echo all the great comments left by previous guests. It was just the two of us but both bedrooms had high quality super king beds with first class mattresses Mrs H liked having her own bathroom and shower. There were lots of plug sockets every where many with type C and micro USB sockets. The gated car park entrance is 245cm wide at it's narrowest point and a large area to turn and park your car so you have no need to reverse your car out. We ate out every day in town and at a different eatery on each occasion our highlight being restaurant Henne, expensive but worth it. Many thanks Helen we have booked again for next year. Rob

Wonderful week in the Puzzle House

Beautiful property both inside and outside, the provided parking space is a bonus as it’s a busy little village. The property is cozy warm, comfortable and very well appointed with all you could possibly need. Location is ideal as a base for exploring the Cotswolds and the village has a Coop, Tesco and Aldi all within walking distance. Finishing touches like milk in the fridge, section of biscuits and assortment of cereal provided by the owners all added to the experience. Final point is that although the property is on the edge of the high street it is very quiet when inside.

Birthday in the cotswolds

The puzzle house met all of our expectations for a clean, comfortable, quiet, quality cottage in a perfect location only 2mins from the high street in moreton , the parking spot was a bonus. A good position for touring with a railway station for travel further afield.

Our stay at the Puzzle House

We recommend this cottage that is decorated to the highest standard. Everything that you would expect from a self catering property is there and more. Ideally situated in the town and the Cotswolds in general.

What a Stunning Property

If you want a typical Cotswold Stay look no further than The Puzzle House an absolutely fantastic position right in the heart of Moreton in Marsh with excellent public transport links and off street parking. The facilities at Puzzle House were beyond expectations and all home comforts were thought of. During our stay my car broke down and I had to get it fixed. Our host Helen came to our rescue not only getting us in touch with a garage but help getting there and getting back. I can not praise her highly enough for her help and assistance. Cotswold Stays allowed me a late check up whilst I waited for my car to be fixed. I am trying to think of reason for a further visit to this property as we enjoyed ourselves so much

A relaxing stay

The Puzzle House was everything that we hoped it would be judging by the description and reviews. It was very clean, tidy and well maintained. It provided all that a guest could need and no clutter, which made it feel comfortable and relaxing.

Perfect!

This is the cleanest and most beautiful holiday apartment I have ever rented! Absolutely everything was spotless, and the attention to detail is stunning. There is nothing you could possible need on a holiday that isn't here, and it was lovely. With regards to location it is directly connected to the High Street, although shielded from any noise. Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to visit Moreton-in-Marsh!

Puzzle House was superb

This was an immaculate accommodation with a convenient and very secure location close to the railway station. It had a nice courtyard that provided secure storage for our bicycles. It had everything needed for an enjoyable stay.

Wonderful weeklong stay at the Puzzle House

My wife and I spent a magical week in Moreton at this lovely property. We loved the large spaces, wonderful kitchen (modern appliances, ample/nice kitchenware, good Nespresso machine) and dining area, the half bath downstairs, comfortable beds with good mattresses, location just off the High Street but insulated from most of the traffic noise, access via a security gate and solid front door made us feel very secure, only a ten minute walk from both train station and main bus station, the best COOP grocery store we’ve encountered across the street. The walk to Batsford Arboretum/Batsford Village and then on to Blockley was world class, and starts just behind the house. We loved it so much we’ve booked for two weeks next year. Helen was a very responsive and helpful host. Highly recommend.

Fabulous!

The Puzzle House is a real home from home, beautifully decorated and very comfortable. It’s perfectly situated in the lovely market town of Moreton in Marsh. We loved the fact that we were right behind the high street. Would highly recommend a stay here.
