Lovely New Years Break
We visited Brook Cottage for a few nights and felt it was a good base for us and met all of our expectations. The photos and descriptions on the website were accurate and everything worked, was clean and pretty well equipped.

Fabulous cosy cottage
Beautifully decorated and really well equipped. Very comfy beds. Lots of storage. Pub, butcher, bakery & shop 3 minutes walk. Parking spaces a bonus. Had a query on arrival and it was easy to make contact for help.

Excellent property - just one niggle
The cottage was excellent - well-equipped, warm and comfortable. Just a bit of mould in bathroom. Close to local pub as indicated when we booked - but disappointingly pub was not open for food on night we arrived. Not your fault but annoying. The niggle: charging double what other companies ask for our dog and not discounting the weekly rate for a stay of only three nights. That's mean in my opinion. And while the log fire was appreciated leaving a box with only two matches was also a bit stingy.

Perfect base to explore the Cotswolds
We came here on our honeymoon with our 12 year old son to spend a hopefully lovely and relaxing break in the beautiful Cotswolds. We arrived to our cottage to find it in excellent condition, with welcome gifts of milk, orange juice and eggs greatly appreciated. The cottage itself was perfectly clean, extremely well equipped and was just what we had hoped for. The location was perfect, quiet small village with good local amenities and within easy driving distance of major Cotswolds attractions. All in all, a brilliant break, would highly recommend and will certainly look to book with StayCotswold again.
