    We loved our stay at the Lavender Cottage. It was cozy and warm. Tall people beware of low doorways though.

    Great location in the heart of the village. Lovely cottage. Good value for money. Parking a bit tricky although pay carparks are within walking distance.

    Beautiful cottage, very well equipped with everything you could need. Had a little issue with the heating but after emailing it was rectified immediately. Would highly recommend and would stay again.

    Our stay at Lavender cottage was very comfortable. Had everything we needed and was in an excellent position within the village. Parking was very limited.

    What a great stay at Lavender cottage, we stayed for 3 nights recently with our toddler at it was so well set up. Great service and location too, just a short (beautiful) walk away from the town centre. It was so cosy and great with a kitchen and courtyard. We would definitely stay again!

    Lavender Cottage is absolutely lovely. It hardly seems real. Amazing location close to great restaurants and the adorable downtown, but quiet and just slightly tucked away. 10/10. We can’t wait to come back!!

    A lovely place to stay, very comfortable with all amenities close by. A great place to visit the Cotswolds from and nice to 'chill out' in the evenings in front of the fire. A real 'home from home' Being dog friendly a great bonus too!

    We was meant to stay Friday to Monday and we wasn’t there even 24hrs. First I understood there’s a check in time but 5pm is late. When I emailed to see if we could get in early there was no reply till 4:13. We opened the door to the cottage and the cold hit us straight away (it was warmer inside). You’d like to think the heating would be on prior to guest coming to make it nice and welcoming. There wasn’t a nice clean smell when we walked in like you’d think there would be also. I was so glad we took our own heater and heated blanket just in case, because they came in very handy! We went to bed early just to get warm, I had thermals, jogger suit, heated blanket and the heater on in a tiny room and we didn’t get warm till 1pm! We didn’t get an inch of sleep. The dog wouldn’t settle and stopped eating (he’s been away before so that wasn’t the problem). The next day the weather was horrendous (which isn’t no one’s fault) however we was just sat on the sofa (cold again) and we both looked at each other and said we could be warm at home doing this so we packed up and left. The cleanliness could have been a little better, in the bathroom there was all small black flies all on it and it didn’t have a nice clean smell when you walked in. Also parking, on the site it does say there’s free street parking outside the cottage however be aware there’s hardly any spaces and you’ll be very very lucky to grab one, we waited 30 mins thinking what to do however we was looking to catch someone moving from a space. I can say the cottage is in a perfect location and I will say if it was warm inside and more inviting it would’ve been a different situation. I probably wouldn’t recommend due to our situation which is a shame, but I also didn’t get a reply from my email that I sent about the situation. We missed out on 2 nights of our anniversary vacation but the Cotswolds is lovely and will be visiting the area again.

    This little cottage in in a great location in the village and has many pubs and restaurants within a few minutes walk. Because of its location car parking is not easy residents get very protective of their perceived space and put cones and no parking signs outside; in the summer months parking must be even worse. The property is an old cottage and is a little tired; it’s functional but has no finesse. The stairs to the bedrooms are difficult to negotiate and would not be suitable for the less mobile.Overall it’s OK but I wouldn’t go back.

    The cottage is in an excellent location but car parking is a challenge. The milk and cake on arrival were a nice touch. Overall this cottage is cluttered and it really could do with a freshen up. Carpets are worn, dusty cobwebs, electric fire doesn't work, 2 bedside lamps in a poor state and only one in the top room. Only 2 water glasses. There were 2 keys in the lockbox but not sure what one was for as no instruction file available. The dried flowers are now looking worn and perhaps better to remove these. No shower gel available. Mismatching duvet covers in the top room. The heating only worked when in timer mode. Cluttered cupboards and behind one of the sofas. A very charming cottage with lots of character but just needs a good spruce up and declutter.

    Had a wonderful stay! Although close to the main area it was very very quiet. On some rainy days I sat in and read a book . My favorite was sitting in the kitchen with the half door open listening to the birds and cows. Very comfortable and clean.

    The check in time at 5pm seemed late for an arrival time. For a short stay this made quite a difference. Parking also was interesting but overall a super location and good stay
