Weekend with friends

For a 5 star rating,accommodation tired, lots of cobwebs also Main negative was we were cold, 18 degrees fixed for underfloor heating is nowhere near enough, no flexibility to increase, 7 logs for Woodburner gave us 2 hrs warmth!

Fantastic location

We stayed as a group of four adults at the property for a week at the end of September. The property is well equipped & stylishly decorated. The location is great just a 30 second walk to the high street where there are several eateries, cafes & supermarkets. All the pubs we visited severed great food. A couple of negatives, the property wasn’t as clean as I would expect it was dusty & grimey in places, appreciate it is the end of the season but think a deep clean was needed. Also I think it needed a bit of maintenance as two of the toilet seats were loose & several chipped plates mugs etc, having said that we had a lovely stay and would recommend it to others.

A great house to stay in a great location

We loved our stay at The Old Candle Shop. The house is very well equipped and we loved the treats and breakfast items left for us to enjoy. The garage is a real plus especially with the EV charging capability. The beds are really comfortable, the rooms are spacious and the hot tub was great too. We loved having a laundry (although laundry detergent and an outdoor clothesline or airer would be useful). Also while there is shower gel you need to bring your own shampoo and conditioner. The location is great - just off the main street so easy to go to Tesco, the pub or cafes nearby without a car. Also it is walking distance to the train station. It is in a quiet location and we felt very safe walking everywhere. The nearby villages are easy to reach by car and there are fantastic restaurants in the surrounding areas too.

Gorgeous house & great location

The old candle shop is a beautiful house, & well equipped with all you need, including fans as we had a super hot weekends stay, upstairs bedrooms gets very very warm with the big glass windows. Great location to the town, & good having an electric charger for the car. Only disappointiment was a little bit more attention needed to the cleanliness of hot tub, we had to wipe all round the edges ourselves before use. Would definitely recommend house for a stay at Cotswolds!

sunny week in the cotswolds

the house is in an excellent location just off the high street. It also has the bonus of private parking. Tastefully furnished and decorated and everything we needed for our stay. Unfortunately both external doors have difficult locks and these should be rectified or additional information sent out in advance to guests. One Of the double beds is two singles and needs an additional mattress topper adding.

Clean well maintained property, excellent location. Good to have hot tub, though there were no sterilising tablets to put in the water once used even though instructions ask you to put them in after you get out.

Great location, beautiful cottage

We had a wonderful time at the Old Candle Shop. The location is perfect and having space for a car was great for day trips. The space was clean and had all of the amenities we could need. Great for a family vacation. The hot tub was a wonderful bonus to use in the evening.

Lovely place to stay

The Old Candle shop was a lovely place to stay. It is beautifully presented and well equipped. Although in the heart of Moreton in Marsh it is surprisingly private. The hot tub was the icing on the cake! Would love to stay again.

Heart of the Cotswolds!

Great place and really good location. Only reason it’s a 4 on comfort is the upstairs rooms were very hot with the weather being unseasonably warm. Managed okay with the fans but would of been difficult if any hotter! Other than that perfect location wise and facilities and would’ve definitely return!

Family Birthday Weekend

First impressions count and this property had it all.- fabulous facilities and the wow factor. Had to be good at reversing to get the car into the enclosed yard. Display cabinet shelves a bit dusty and the wok had been left with oil in but other than these minor points the property was first class.

Lovely festive stay

We had a lovely stay at The Old Candle shop. Everything we needed was there for four of us, it was lovely done! We spent our evenings by the fire playing games and watching Christmas films. Location was great as we had everything we needed in the village but was easy to get to all the villages we wanted to visit too. It was also lovely having our own ensuite too and the piano was a nice touch. We would 100% stay again.

A beautiful place to stay

We had a fantastic few days at The Old Candle Shop. The cottage was beautiful and spotlessly clean. It also had absolutely everything anyone would need from milk and butter in the fridge to dog treats in the cupboard. Location-wise, the cottage is in the heart of Moreton-in-Marsh, just behind the High Street, with plenty of places to eat and drink. The walks were beautiful too! A perfect place to stay and we wouldn't hesitate to go back again, it was a real 'home from home' holiday.

Beautiful

A wonderful bit of luxury with plenty of space to relax and unwind, everything there to make it a hone from home with a thoughtfully chilled bottle of prosecco on arrival. Brilliantly situated if you wanted to ditch the car for a week as so many eateries and shops and walks on the doorstep. Finish the day in the hot tub to totally de stress

Spacious and well appointed property in a good location

The property is in an excellent location within 100m to the shops and pubs of Moreton. It was spacious and clean with everything you could need. The hot tub was clean and well maintained. If you have a very big car you may find the parking a bit tight. EV charger wasn't working, but the property manager sorted it very quickly. I would recommend this property and would go again if I was visiting the area.
