About this property

COTSWOLD HISTORIC COTTAGE, WITH LARGE GARDEN

Historic Cotswold stone cottage. Grade II listed, thought to have been built around 1600. This cosy cottage, located in a village in its own hidden valley, is a perfect hideaway. Lots of walks, a fantastic country pub (that serves great food) 2 minutes' walk away. But the centres of Stow-on-the-Wold and Bourton-on the-Water just 3 miles away. Naunton Downs golf course 5 minutes' drive away allows day guest membership. Adam Henson's Cotswold Farm park - great for kids, 10 minutes' drive away. Original beams, working wood log fireplace (and central heating!), windows, even an original floor provides a unique atmosphere. The beds are normally arranged as a super king and two singles, IF YOU NEED A DIFFERENT ARRANGEMENT WE NEED A WEEK'S NOTICE.

The cottage is delightfully quaint,cozy, and clean. The neighborhood is quiet and a great place for walking. All appliances worked very well. If you're a bit tall like my husband, you'll have to duck a lot whilst in the home. What a gem!

Lovely stay in the Cotswolds

This was a lovely little place and very clean and tidy. There are stairs so can be tricky if you have large heavy luggage. Excellent facilities and the pub close by had delicious food.

Glad it lived up to your expectations. The staircase is the original 1600 one, designed for.smaller people in those days! 😀. We aren't allowed to change them, and its a minor limitation.for the atmosphere.

We loved our stay here! The cottage was just lovely. The town is sweet, with great walks along the small river and through the lovely streets. Nice and close to the pub where we found lots of friendly locals who were up for a chat with us Aussies. Marks communication was great. Our only concern when booking was the parking, but this soon proved to be a non-issue with plenty of convenient parking on the street right out the front.

Quirky Cotswold Cottage

Quirky little Cotswolds cottage. Loved it. Garden is 2 doors away, which was interesting. Just added to the funny little local vibe.
Stayed 2 nights in May 2025
Response from VrboOwner on 1 June 2025
Glad you enjoyed it! The reason the garden is 3 metres to one side is that the original Cotswold mappers were decommissioned soldiers from the Napoleonic Wars.. the slight snag was that noone bothered to check if they could read or write! The result is lots of strange Cotswold features like that! Mark

Lovely Break

A great place to stay in a very friendly village. The local pub the Black horse serves beautiful food and we highly recommend it. The cottage itself offered everything we needed and was Clean, warm and well appointed,. We would recommend it to anyone looking to stay in the area. We would certainly return again in the future.

We loven our stay and lovend the quiet village of Naunton. Easy check in and accurate representatie of the place.Good ends and sufficient kitchen supplies. The garden not attached directly to the cottage makes it a bit of a walk with glasses and plates etc when you like to eat outside. And passing the neighbours outdoor mess is not a bit dissapointing. Overall a very nice stay

True Cotswolds experience!

We enjoyed our stay and experiencing true Cotswold living! The cottage is comfortable with deep history. The garden was lovely. It was early spring, so lots of flowers in bloom. The stairway inside is a little narrow (watch your head going up to the third floor!) but the rooms were comfortable and clean. The host, Mark, provides a ton of information about the area and places to see. All around, it was a great place!

Relaxing break

The property was lovely with lots of little extras, which made us feel welcome. Practical layout for four adults, although another higher armchair instead of the little chair would have been great. The garden was delightful and added to our stay. Better directions to find the property, which was set back, would have saved us 30 mins after a long drive.

Lovely quaint little cottage,great location, people very friendly in the village.

Only one very small criticism, if you are trying to cook a roast dinner eg:- Christmas lunch, there was only one small roasting tin, not really big enough for the turkey and all the trimmings. We really enjoyed our stay and would love to come back in the near future.

Well if that is the worst criticism all is good! :) If you book again for Christmas I promise to get a bigger roasting tin! Mark

About the host

Hosted by Mark Fox

Host profile image
When my kids were small we got fed up of low quality self catering that seemed to cost the earth. So we bought our own place in 2000 and have been expanding ever since - a lot of our guests visit again and again. We still regularly stay in all our places to be sure that they are good enough for us to enjoy, not just rentals.

Why they chose this property

This cottage is a cliche of an English country cottage. Everything about it is exactly what you would expect starting with the atmosphere of the big fireplace and deep windows. But it is also the lovely garden and gorgeous views that make it special... not to mention the great pub just a couple of minutes' walk away!

What makes this property unique

Many small cottages have a "cottage garden" - small. This one has a huge garden for kids to play in, or enjoy the terrace for meals (outdoor table and chairs provided) and use the brick Barb-B-Q with a proper chimney. All the beams and the stone ground floor is original from 1600. This cottage hasn't been over-restored, All modern conveniences have been built into what is there, nothing original has been ripped out.
