We had the most wonderful time at this property. Check in and check out were easy (Cotswolds can be a bit intimidating) and the house was so thoughtfully decorated and outfitted. Exactly as pictured- even better in person and it felt like a complete sanctuary after a very long travel day. We loved the beds and beautiful sheetstowels. Each day, we woke up to the most magnificent view of a field with a horse that our child loved watching. It felt completely safe, gated and cctv- always a priority. We were working remotely and having an office was such a luxury. Being able to shut the bedrooms off from the noise of the living room/kitchen/laundry was the icing on the cake. Secluded and private, yet close to everything we needed. Our host was so responsive with our truly silly questions (the kind you've answered for yourself just after hitting send) and we felt so well taken care of! Pristine is the word I would use to describe the home. Thank you for a truly memorable stay.
