Friends meet up

Great place to stay we were 3 couples meeting up. Lovely sofa and dining space and we made good use of the kitchen as we all like to cook. Fabulous comfy beds. The owner explained everything needed when we arrived. Including for Elsie the dog who was well catered for with a field and walks on the doorstep. A great weekend!

Perfect Cotswold Escape

We had a wonderful time at The Artist’s House - perfect for a group get together in the Cotswolds. It was lovely to be a little away from the busier towns but still surrounded by beautiful landscapes and only a short drive to villages with cafes, pubs and shops. Pam and John were incredibly welcoming on arrival and the house was the perfect size for eight people, with all the amenities we’d need. We enjoyed time in the garden and cooking at the house. Hope to be back one day soon!

Our short break in the Cotswolds

Beautiful about 20 minutes drive from Stow on the Wold. Ideally located to visit the Cotswolds area. property was perfect layout for 5 adults, 2 teenagers and a baby. kitchen great for breakfast time even if you wish to cook a full English. also had a really lovely meal at the property round the large family table. Everything you needed available in a home from home property. property is just off the main road but you didn't feel you were that close to it. Thank you to Pam for letting us stay at your lovely property.

A lovely weekend break in the countryside

An enjoyable stay in a beautifully furnished and comfortable house. Everything we needed was provided including a cot and highchair for our 10 month old grandson. The owners were very helpful and on hand when there was a slight issue with one of the showers. It was fixed almost immediately. The cottage gardens are lovely and we were able to enjoy a BBQ with plenty of seating outside. The location is good and noise from the road was minimal. We walked to the excellent Boxing Hare pub across fields of wild flowers. The beds were very comfortable and the only very slight negative is that the bedroom downstairs is actually partitioned from the living room so that it is not totally private in terms of sound. This wasn't an issue for us but is worth bearing in mind.

Beautiful cottage, difficult location

I have many positive things to say about the Artist's House - the hosts were welcoming and helpful (they live in the adjacent house) but also unobtrusive. The house was tastefully decorated and very comfortable. The garden was absolutely beautiful and we enjoyed evenings dining outside under the veranda. All in all it would have been the perfect place to stay if it were not for the location - right next to the A361, Chipping Norton to Banbury road. Perhaps this would be less of a problem in spring, autumn and winter but in the summer (and during hot weather), it is a big problem. The traffic noise was fairly relentless - starting very early in the morning and continuing well into the night. It meant we were unable to have bedroom windows open to cool the rooms which made sleeping in overly hot rooms very difficult. Time spent in the lovely garden was also disturbed by the constant traffic noise. So it is a lovely house, with excellent hosts but I wouldn't stay here again in the summer.

Thank you Tina for taking the time to review The Artist's House. We were delighted to hear that you found the property comfortable and well-equipped, and that you appreciated the warm welcome from the hosts as well as the beautiful garden. Your stay coincided with one of the hottest days on record for June. This was an exceptional and unexpected spell of weather and fans are available at the property to help make your stay more comfortable. The hosts were available and quick to offer assistance should you need it. We have passed your feedback on to the property manager for their review. With regard to the location, this is clearly indicated on the location map provided on our website to help guests make an informed choice before booking, with many previous guests finding this location an asset for their tour of The Cotswolds. We hope that overall, you had an enjoyable stay.
