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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Very clean with comfy bed. Location was central to sites we visited but next time would rather stay in a bigger village to have more access to restaurants (I couldn’t drink with dinner as I was the driver). Definitely recommend The Cotswolds Guy and the Old Post Office for breakfast which is 10-15 minutes via car. The Black Horse inn Pub is just a few houses down from the cottage but we didn’t eat there. Had drinks but it was virtually empty. Cottage was as described but was surprised to see the main bathroom shower wasn’t available so had to share the small shower upstairs. It worked out but would have been nice to know in advance or be offered some sort of concession. All that said, aside from larger village vibe, I would recommend 3 Sunny Cottages.

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.

Quiet Cotswolds village

We spent a month in Naunton which is a lovely small village with a very friendly, handy pub just along from the cottage, and perfect for anyone wanting to be off the beaten track - less than 15 minute drive to either Stow or Bourton. The cottage was quite comfortable although we would have appreciated a maintenance check beforehand as we did encounter a few issues, and, for such a long stay, we would have expected some spare linens or housekeeping coming to change sheets. The garden is quite separate from the house and there is no off-street parking.
Stayed 29 nights in Sep 2023
Response from VrboOwner on 30 Sept 2023
We had offered fresh laundry and cleaning services, bothe of which were turned down as the guest 'wished to do everything themselves ' and the only 'maintenance' issues were due to unfamiliarity with the machines. But delighted that it didn't spoil their stay.

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.
