About this property

Dog friendly one bed holiday cottage in Fairford - Wood Cottage

This gorgeous detached cottage on the edge of the pretty Cotswold market town of Fairford, a short stroll to a selection of pubs and the market square for restaurants, shops and Lynwood’s, the best barista in the Cotswolds! The town and surrounding area is crisscrossed with many footpaths, to enjoy lovely walks in the Cotswold countryside and to explore the nearby Cotswold water park lakes. The nearby villages of Eastleach, Bibury, Hatherop, Quenington, Coln St.Aldwyns and a wealth of other beautiful Cotswold villages offering wonderful scenery and fantastic pubs and restaurants, all within a short walk, cycle or drive.
The town sits on a pretty stretch of the River Coln and is famous for its parish church of St Mary’s, which is perhaps the finest ‘wool church’ in the country – being the only church with a complete set of 28 medieval stained glass windows telling the story of the Bible.

Every Wednesday the market square is busy with a traditional market, and a continental market twice a year and a magical Christmas market on the first Friday of December.

For three days every year RAF Fairford hosts the world’s largest military air show – the Royal International Air Tattoo – book early as tickets sell out quickly.

Short Stay for Relatives

We had a family celebration for a birthday and Wood Cottage was ideal location for 2 relatives (and their dog) to stay over for the weekend. The cottage was in excellent condition, very close by to our home and offered very good facilities for their stay.

Ideal cottage for two ( and a dog!)

Very cosy and comfortable cottage for two and a dog. Good enclosed garden for the dog (beware there is a low wall behind the shrubs and some dogs may be inclined to jump it!). Excellent village location with food store, chemist, pubs, takeaways and dog walks. Convient for exploring the Cotswolds, Wiltshire, Berkshire and further afield. Would highly recommend Wood Cottage and Stay Cotswold.

Autumn staycation

We had a wonderful week in Wood Cottage, everything was perfect . The log burner was very welcome after some cold days exploring the local area. A lovely walk into Fairford which has a gorgeous church, some nice little gift shops and pubs. Great fish and chip takeaway.

Excellent stay

This is our second stay at wood cottage. The cottage is so comfortable and cosy, in a great location with lovely walks locally. The cottage is extremely clean and very well maintained, a complete home from home. We love the cosy living room and the kitchen is well equipped. Parking is on the street outside the cottage, and although its not a dedicated space, we had no problem parking. There's everything you need in the village; pubs, coffee shops, butchers, coop and budgens as well as some lovely gift shops. Nothing is too far of a drive in the cotswolds. We would definitely recommend this cottage for anyone looking for a cosy stay and a bonus it being dog friendly too!

Wood Cottage, Fairford

This cottage is deceptively spacious and finished to a high standard in my opinion. The location was very peaceful, and has easy access to the Cotswold Water Park and surrounding Cotswold villages.

Autumn short break

Perfect little cottage in a very wonderful town with friendly residents who all spoke to us when went out for a walk. The cottage was immaculate and lovely and warm when we arrived. Our welcome pack was very much appreciated with everything we needed to start our stay. The bed was big and very comfortable. We will definitely return next year if available.

Superb cottage

Wood cottage is a lovely cosy cottage. It was spotlessly clean. It was a great home from home had everything we needed. Little extras like wine, Easter eggs, teabags, sugar and coffee were much appreciated. Would certainly recommend a great base for exploring.

The perfect break in the perfect place

The cottage was so cosy and comfortable. Very central and very welcoming. It felt like we were the first people to stay. We found our home away from home. Beautiful cottages and houses, scenic river walks, tea in the post office cafe, a pint in the local pub, the local church steeped in history with a one a kind stained glass window.

Wonderful cosy cottage

Super cosy little cottage. Perfect for two people and a (not huge) dog. Brilliantly located, minutes walk from a number of pubs and shops in town but on a really quiet road. Everything has been thought of; pre-made fireplace, instructions to do it yourself, shoe dryer, soft blankets, games and puzzles for the inside days, guides for walks, pubs, food etc on days out. Loved it.

A Fantastic dog friendly cottage for 2 people, well placed in Fairford

This is a very attractive little cottage with everything you need for a holiday stay in the market town of Fairford. Small kitchen but very usable, great living room with wood burning stove (central heating as well) and a very nice bedroom and bathroom with a large shower cubicle. Car parking on the road right outside the garden gate. Fairford is a very nice friendly town with 5 dog friendly pubs, our favorite 2 minutes from this cottage.
